Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.

• Black History Month

  Mon 28 Oct 2024 Mr Daynes

  To celebrate Black History Month and to deepen knowledge of understanding of significant people in history who made a difference to the world we live in today, each class studied a person of importance. Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks were just a couple who were explored.

  

• Mad Science Club

  Mon 21 Oct 2024 Mr Daynes

  Over the past half term we have ran our Mad Science club again for our KS2 children. This year there were lots of experiments that the children enjoyed including exploring light, optical illusions and making candy!

  

• Guide dog fundraising!

  Fri 18 Oct 2024 Mr Daynes

  We had a non-uniform day in school where children donated a £1 to go towards sponsoring a guide dog puppy. Children voted between three dogs resulting in our puppy being Custard.  We will follow her journey for the next two years.

  

• Dyslexia Awareness week

  Sun 13 Oct 2024 Mr Daynes

  Although our school is already a dyslexia aware school, we celebrated dyslexia awareness week to ensure everyone knew why we learn the way we do and raise awareness that people learn in different ways. This year’s theme was, “What’s your story?”  We asked children to tell their story in the form of a comic strip.  These were then collated into class comic books, which were then sold at an after-school awareness event to raise money for more learning resources to be used by all children in school.  The last day of the week was also a ‘dress to impress day’.  Children and staff were encouraged to dress up or reflect their personalities.
