Memorable Events

Children in Need 2024

As part of our money raising activities, the children brought spare change into school. We hoped to collect enough to lift a 'bag of worries' on a counterweight in order to help our pupils understand the important work of Children in Need. We had enough coins to lift the heavy weight four times!

In addition to activities in class, all the children gathered on the school field to release balloons with positive messages attached. We also had fun blowing bubbles. See the gallery below for a selection of photographs.

Remembrance Day 2024

 To mark Remembrance Day, the children decorated a wooden poppy cross and we placed them in a special remembrance area at the front of our school as a mark of respect to those who have fought to uphold our country’s values and freedoms.
 

'They shall grow not old
As we that are left to grow old.
Age shall not weary them
Nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
And in the morning
We will remember them.'

Grandparents' Tea Party

As a thank you for all the amazing support our grandparents provide, we held a tea party in the school hall with lots of tasty treats and a chance to relax and have a chat.

World Book Day

Lots of activities were held in school to mark World Book Day 2024.

Children came into school dressed up in clothes associated with a matching word. There was an incredible variety of words on display showing fantastic vocabulary! The winner from each glass received a golden coin to use in the library vending machine to take home a book of their choice.

In class, we based our English work on the novel 'Windows' by Julia Denos. The children explored the text and analysed the illustrations in the book as one boy catches glimpses of the lives around him when taking his dog out for a walk.

In the afternoon, all the children assembled to complete a parade around school to show off their outfits before heading off into their House groups for some final story-telling.

Prevent Bus

Our Year 5 and 6 pupils enjoyed learning all about safeguarding and issues around prevent. The 'Prevent Bus' arrived at school and it certainly was a very special classroom for the day. Thank you to the TfC staff for visiting us.
