On Thursday, the children will enjoy an International Feast within their Mileposts. 

We kindly ask that your child brings in a clearly labelled traditional dish, with all ingredients stated, to share with their peers. (No nuts or pork products please in respect of our host nation). Further details will follow from Mileposts.

We also invite children to wear traditional clothing or the national colours of their home, host, or heritage country(ies) as part of the celebration!

The children are eagerly channeling their enthusiasm into a variety of hands-on learning activities, working beautifully as a team to decorate a giant ‘Party’ display banner together. They are also busy crafting colourful paper chains and practising their fine motor skills by wrapping mystery presents for their friends. They have even set up parties for toy turtles as well as LOTS of numbers, providing a ‘one, two, three’ countdown to the start! These collaborative, playful tasks are carefully structured to engage their curiosity, foster deep social interaction and cooperation, enhance spatial awareness and strengthen coordination. We look forward to capturing more of their laughter and shared teamwork as this memorable learning journey continues!  

The children showcased their singing, opening with the 'From A to B' song and they were joined by their parents in the second rendition - the children thought the parents did ok but they were better!

The students confidently showed their learning to the parents.  Ms Liz oversaw the making of paper cars and used their understanding of forces to race the cars!  The parents were guided to different treasures in the large grids outside by the children using directional langauge and went through their IPC books, presenting their learning.

They explored the dramatic events of the ‘chocopocalypse’ through prediction, descriptive writing and discussion activities, while revisiting key grammar skills such as fronted adverbials, expanded noun phrases and direct speech. The children have been collaborating to write vivid descriptions of a chocolate eruption using sentence stacking techniques. Year 4's creativity, teamwork and thoughtful discussions surrounding the positive and negative consequences of a chocopocalypse have been particularly impressive. 

The children began by researching movements within their family’s past, exploring the different factors that acted as “pushes” or “pulls” for moving from one country to another. As they gathered information and family photographs, the children showed great organisation and independence, carefully planning how to present their findings in a clear and engaging way. Working in small groups, their teachers provided constructive feedback to help them refine both their visuals and presentation skills. The children listened thoughtfully to advice, reflected on ways to improve, and collaborated positively with their peers throughout the process.

Once their work was polished, the children delivered their presentations to groups of their peers. The presentations were absolutely fantastic, with clear evidence of the hard work that had taken place at home. Many children demonstrated impressive resilience as they practised speaking confidently in front of others and adapted their presentations to make them even more effective.

It was a real pleasure to learn more about each of our wonderful Year 6 students and their families. The children spoke confidently and passionately about their findings, demonstrating pride in their heritage alongside growing confidence as communicators and learners.

In January 2026, she performed in the opera Tosca, singing on stage alongside the children's choir and professional opera singers. On 11 May 2026, the choir presented a one-hour multilingual repertoire for the Pipe Organ show, accompanied by and orchestra before a fully packed audience.

The programme, open through auditions each October, provides children with valuable musical education, performance experience, and artistic development.
