We’ve already experienced the Vikings but today it was time for the Romans! Year 3 pupils enjoyed a spectacular dress-up day that was not only fun for everyone but also enriched their history lessons.

After the success of last year’s Spelling Bee (our first), we decided to hold it again this year and like before the atmosphere around the Key Stage 2 corridors and classrooms has been tangible.

So alongside wearing Viking clothing for today, a variety of creative approaches have been taken to teach Year 4 about how […]

Splash Day 2018 – a wet success for Reception!

For the past week, the whole of Reception has been enjoying Splash Day 2018. Dressed in their very finest swimwear, all the children had loads of fun playing at each water station. These featured waterwheels and pumps alongside buckets, squeezy squirters and a much-used hose. There were sandpits and spades, too, plus tricycles and tyres filled with bowls of water. […]

In recent weeks, pupils in Reception have been reading fairy tales as well as learning how to write one themselves.
