Thursday 4 December 2025 Tinsel, Tunes and Two Wheels I was sad to miss Fitness Thursday today because from the festive photos and the music blaring across the playground as I left it was clear the children were having a brilliant time. Scooters were decorated with Christmas lights, tinsel and all sorts of cheerful trimmings as the children raced to complete as many laps of the playground as they could. The atmosphere was full of energy and excitement with every lap cheered on by friends and teachers.A huge thank you to our Bronze Ambassadors who planned the course with care and made sure everything was ready to go. Thank you as well to Matt for overseeing Fitness Thursday and to Mr Frampton for capturing the magic with his camera. It looked like a wonderful morning of festive fitness and a perfect way to get everyone moving.

Friday 28 November 2025 It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Today, in time for our Christmas Fair, the children made their decoration for the huge tree in the school hall. They used white card, drew around their hand and then decorated their drawn fingers as snow people, reindeers, Father Christmas or elves! They then used different shiny sequins to add a bit of Christmas sparkle to their fantastic decorations! Once made they then placed them on the Christmas tree next to the others made from other classes.

Thursday 27 November 2025 Y6 - Keeping Things Current Year 6 have started their new afternoon topic for science all about electricity. It's a very exciting, practical unit in which pupils design circuits made of multiple components such as switches, buzzers, lightbulbs, motors and batteries. They learn how to draw the universally recognised symbols for these components, and then predict whether or not the circuit will work. Then, they work together to put it to the test with real parts! They repeat this sequence a few times over the lessons, each step going more in depth and complex. Well done, Year 6!
