A week packed full of events 🌳🎨âœâœ¨ðŸ‘
The final week of this term has been packed full of so many things to celebrate and has been the perfect way to end such a busy term. The Art exhibition at Shine showcasing our children's artwork is wonderful, and I know staff have popped down with the children to see it. I visited with our Chair of Governors Julia Shemilt and...

The sunshine seems to have kept us all going during another very busy week 🌞 It has been a real joy this week to watch our Year 2 children tackle their Mock SATs. Thank you to the Year 2 team for a supremely well organised week which has enabled every child to feel confident about 'having a go' - I think they have enjoyed the experience.

Read MoreThe power to change lives
I know, like me, you will have been outraged and saddened by what has been happening in Ukraine over the past few weeks. It is hard to believe that in 2022 such a situation can arise. I am pleased that on Friday last week we did our bit to fund raise for the Comic relief fund. The powerful message for this year’s Red Nose Day is whatever we do, no matter how small,...
Read MoreWhat a busy week!
After missing out in 2021, Year 6 completed 2022 KS2 Mock SATS week in style. Thank you to everyone for making this such as huge success, especially Mrs McMullen who masterminds the complex operation. 👠I know this is another key step in making sure our children are ready for their tests in May. Having missed so much time in school over the past two years due to...
Read MoreAdding the love into learning
It certainly has been a seamless start to the new half term with every year group picking up where they left off in terms of high quality and interesting learning experiences - our children are so lucky to be in classes where staff spend so much time ensuring that every child loves learning. The smell of freshly cooked pancakes wafting along the corridor outside...

Our third in school Wellbeing week has been so special and a lovely way to end this half term which has been incredibly busy and has not been without its challenges. Making time for one another and giving staff and children extra treats helps to make our school such a special place to be and serves as a reminder to us all why we do what we do. During this week...
Read MoreCelebrating the Year 6 journey
Last Monday we shared with Year 6 a 'virtual' presentation in place of the annual Year 6 dinner which we would usually hold, when Year 6 children come with their parents to celebrate the beginning of their journey through Year 6. Sadly, due to Covid we have been unable to have such a large gathering of people in school and so found a way to do this remotely....
Read MoreTime to Talk 💬
We all know it's good to talk and there are lots of different ways to have a conversation about mental health - you don’t have to be an expert to talk. Time to Talk Day 2022 took place on Thursday 3rd February, and this is a day when everyone is encouraged to have a conversation about mental health. In classrooms across school staff had planned activities to encourage...
Read MoreThe perfect start to the day 🌅
Every morning when I get to school children are starting to arrive for Rise and Shine club which is our breakfast club and so much more. The children can't wait for the door to open, and they can see from outside all the lovely activities set out for them as well as breakfast ready in The Oasis.
What better way to start your day than to come with your...
Read MoreInspirational 🌟😀
When children can't wait to talk to you about what they have been learning you know they have been inspired by the activities taking place in their classes.
Last week I was told all about an earthquake that had affected the annex building and caused disruption for Mrs Goodlad when she was marking after school. Year 4's theme is 'Natural Disasters - Would YOU...
