Nursery
Our Nursery children have been busy strengthening their fine motor skills in lots of fun and engaging ways. These activities are helping them build the hand muscles they need for confident pencil grip and for manipulating small objects with increasing control.

Reception
In Reception, several children enthusiastically shared some of their wonderful recent experiences. This created a fantastic opportunity for everyone to practise their oracy skills, asking thoughtful questions, speaking clearly, and listening attentively to their friends.

Year 6 Falcons Class Assembly: Bridges and Engineers

Last week, our Year 6 class delivered a fantastic assembly on bridges and the engineers who design them, performed exclusively for the parents and siblings of our pupils. The children shared fascinating facts about famous structures from around the world, demonstrated different bridge types, and explained the science behind what makes them strong and stable. They also showcased the impressive model bridges they had designed and built in class, highlighting their creativity, teamwork, and growing confidence as young engineers. It was wonderful to see how proudly they spoke and performed, and the audience’s smiles said it all. We are incredibly proud of their hard work, enthusiasm, and the maturity they showed throughout the project.  

See below the hard work our pupils put into making their amazing bridges.
