Whole School Planting

We kicked off with an incredible start last week, diving straight into a special project that promises to add a splash of green to our school. Each year group played a pivotal role in transforming our Secret Garden into an enchanting edible paradise.

Here’s a peek at what each class planted:

Reception and Year 1: got their hands dirty with different types of potatoes.

Year 2: explored the world of legumes by planting two varieties of peas.

Year 3: got into beans, sowing two different kinds to see how they flourish.

Years 4 & 5: experimented with colour by planting three types of tomatoes and sweet peppers, even making predictions about the colours of tomatoes they might harvest!

Year 6: took on the allium family by planting leeks, onions, shallots, garlic, and even cucumbers.

In addition to planting, our children engaged in learning activities to understand the life cycle of their plants and how best to care for them. This hands-on experience not only teaches them about the science of growth but also about responsibility and the joys of gardening.

We are all buzzing with excitement and can't wait to see the fruits of our labour! Keep an eye on our Secret Garden, as it transforms into a bountiful and colourful feast over the next few months. Happy gardening, and here’s to a term filled with growth and learning!

Marafun

What an extraordinary day we had last Friday at the Aquadrome! Our hearts are bursting with pride as we reflect on the incredible success of our Marafun event. Together, we showed the true meaning of community, compassion and courageous advocacy.

Thanks to your unwavering support, we raised over £2200 to aid Miss Devlin's noble cause in raising funds for Cardiomyopathy. 🏅 Every lap around the Aquadrome brought us closer to our goal, and your generosity knows no bounds.

But the magic of the day wasn't just in the numbers—it was in the spirit of unity and camaraderie that filled the air. From our youngest to our oldest, everyone played their part with enthusiasm and determination. 

Our Year 6 students, embodying leadership and kindness, supported their younger peers every step of the way. Parents, you were our unsung heroes, lending a hand wherever needed and cheering on our runners with boundless encouragement. Staff members went above and beyond, some sacrificing their day off to ensure the event ran smoothly. And let's not forget the incredible support from Miss Devlin's family—they were a beacon of strength and inspiration throughout the afternoon.

Together, we accomplished something truly remarkable—over 200 runners circling the Aquadrome with grace and finesse, shining a light on what our school community is made of. The sight of our older children applauding their younger counterparts as they crossed the finish line brought tears of joy to our eyes.

Thank you to each and every one of you who participated and contributed to this unforgettable event. Your dedication and belief in our children's potential remind us that together, we can achieve anything. Let this day serve as a reminder to our children that with determination and heart, they can conquer any challenge that comes their way.

Year 5 - Week Four -  with the 'Mini Police' Programme

This week, our Year 5's have been preparing a school assembly about everything they have discovered and learnt about the police. From creating their own presentations and scripts to perfecting their role-playing skills in small groups, it was a fantastic session. We can hardly wait to witness their performances as they take the stage and share their newfound knowledge with the entire school soon!
