Take a Break and Bake – A Sweet Success!

This week, we had a special event in school as Mrs. Thompson, Mr. Hammond, and our fantastic Wellbeing Warriors hosted the first-ever Take a Break and Bake! Parents from Class 3 joined their children in the kitchen (well, Church!) for a wonderful aftrenoon of baking, chatting, and learning about the importance of well-being.

Not only did families get the chance to whip up some delicious treats together, but our Wellbeing Warriors also delivered a fantastic presentation about mental health and ways we can support each other. They spoke passionately about the small things we can all do to look after ourselves and those around us, and their message really resonated with everyone in the room. It was an inspiring reminder of how important it is to take time for ourselves and for others.

The event was a great success, and we loved seeing so many smiles, hearing so much laughter, and watching families work together to create something special. A huge thank you to everyone who took part. There are more events like this planned, with the next one taking place next term. Keep an eye out for further details!

Class 2 Geography – Exploring the Mediterranean

Class 2 have been working incredibly hard in geography this week, investigating the Mediterranean region and comparing it to the UK. They have been using a range of resources, including maps and climate data, to explore how weather patterns differ and why the Mediterranean enjoys far less rainfall than we do here.

Pupils have also been considering human and physical geography, identifying how the natural landscape and climate shape the way people live. They have examined why the Mediterranean’s warm, dry summers and mild winters make it an attractive place for both residents and tourists, while also discussing the challenges of a climate with much lower rainfall than we experience in Britain.

Through their research, pupils have been developing their skills in interpreting data, identifying geographical patterns, and making comparisons, showing a real depth of understanding. It has been fantastic to see their enthusiasm as they make links between climate, land use, and the way people adapt to their surroundings. Well done, Class 2!
