Summer Fair - We need your help! 

Celebrating the Launch of Our New Library

We were thrilled to officially open our brand-new Robin’s Reading Rooms library with a special day of events and celebrations!

The day began with an exciting workshop led by author Sita, where our Reading Ambassadors from Years 2 to 6 explored storytelling and shared their love of reading. This was followed by a whole school assembly, where Sita inspired children from Years 1 to 6 with stories and a celebration of books.

Later in the morning, we held a ribbon-cutting ceremony in the new reading zone. Our Reading Ambassadors spoke confidently about the importance of reading, alongside speeches from staff, Sita, and guests from the National Literacy Trust. Everyone then had a chance to explore the new space and admire the collection of books—including some of Sita’s own titles.

Workshops continued in the afternoon with Year 4 and Year 5 pupils, who took part in creative sessions around reading and writing.

It was a wonderful day that brought our school community together to celebrate the joy of reading. A huge thank you to everyone involved in making the event such a success, especially Ms Herda our reading lead!

Y2 Chile Class Assembly 

Chile Class wowed us all with a fantastic assembly showcasing their learning from last term and this term. They began by sharing fascinating facts about Mary Seacole and Florence Nightingale, bringing history to life. The children then hopped into science, acting out the life cycle of a frog with enthusiasm. We were treated to a lively dance routine they learned from Mr Ken, followed by a display of their impressive sculptures created in Art. To finish, they shared important facts about eating a balanced diet, linking perfectly to their D&T lessons. 

What a brilliant celebration of learning.

Well done Miss Ibrahim and Chile Class!

Year 4 at the Science Museum 

We had an amazing day exploring Wonder Lab, the mysteries of space to the marvels of engineering and the science of flight, the day was packed with thrilling hands-on experiences that sparked imagination and inspired learning.

Through interactive exhibits and experiments, the children explored fascinating scientific concepts, uncovering the wonders of physics, chemistry, and technology in ways that made learning both fun and engaging. Their enthusiasm was contagious as they immersed themselves in discovery, asking questions, testing ideas, and experiencing the world of science in action.

It was truly a day to remember—a celebration of curiosity, innovation, and exploration that left everyone eager to learn more. A fun-filled adventure packed with hands-on learning and discovery. We can’t wait for the next adventure!

Eco Warriors in Action: A Greener Future Ahead

Our young Eco Warriors have been actively exploring ways to protect the environment through an inspiring collaboration with Collage Arts and the Schools Go Zero initiative. This exciting project has sparked curiosity and creativity, encouraging students to take responsibility for the world around them.

Recently, the children investigated different heat sources and discussed how everyday energy use affects the planet. Through engaging discussions and hands-on learning, they explored practical ways to make a difference—whether by conserving energy, reducing waste, or embracing sustainable alternatives. 

But the journey doesn’t end there! In September, our Eco Warriors will embark on a filmmaking project to capture their insights and experiences in a short film. This will give them the opportunity to share their ideas, inspire others, and showcase their commitment to a cleaner, greener future.
