Year 4 - Circus Skills Workshop
On Tuesday, the Year 4 children thoroughly enjoyed taking part in a circus skills workshop. They developed a variety of skills, including dancing with ribbons, spinning plates, balancing peacock feathers, walking on stilts, performing simple acrobatics and pedalling ‘pedal-gos’. It was certainly a fun-packed session.

Year 4 - RE: Church in the Park
To complete our RE unit on places of worship, the Year 4 children learned about Peter ‘The Rock’ and how he started the Christian Church. They explored statements about the Church and decided which they thought were the most important. The children learned that the term ‘Church’ has become synonymous with the place of worship, but that most importantly, the Church is the people gathering together to worship God and Jesus. With this in mind, we decided to take our ‘Church’ to Whitehall Park. We created a short service led by the children and decided on the essentials we would need in order to deliver the service. The children enjoyed creating crosses using natural materials, listening to Bible stories, hearing sermons and saying prayers linked to these. There was a bit of time left at the end for us to enjoy the playground too.
Whole School Worship- Spreading God's Love and Sharing Our Talents
During today's whole school worship, we had a session led by Rev Ben, who signed the Holy Trinity before we began a fun balloon race to reach the finishing line, where Mason, Summer, Peyton, Arlo, Charlie, Seb, and Willow weren't allowed to use their hands at all, which was highly entertaining to watch! After that, we thought about the "race of life" and St Paul, with Rev Ben reading us the story of Paul getting shipwrecked while the children joined in by repeating the words "not at all" throughout. There was a thoughtful moment aimed right at our Year 6's too, getting them to think about their next steps with the big question, "What is your task as you leave this place?" and they had some brilliant answers, saying their tasks were to spread the word of God and Jesus, show His love, and be a good friend to anyone feeling lonely at their new secondary schools. After the children shared some of their amazing talents, we ended worship with a prayer and singing "My Lighthouse" together.
Year 1 End Of Year Party
What a magical way to celebrate an incredible year together! As a class, we’ve loved spending our Golden Time watching Disney films throughout the year, so it was only fitting that we finished with a Disney-themed party! The children had a fantastic time playing Disney Bingo, Musical Statues, Musical Bumps and our Disney Who Am I? guessing game. There were smiles, laughter and lots of Disney magic all afternoon! One of the most special parts of our celebration was presenting each child with their own personalised Disney award. Every award recognised a wonderful quality that they have shown throughout the year, such as kindness, courage, determination, resilience, creativity and friendship. It was a lovely opportunity to celebrate what makes each and every child so unique and to recognise how much they have grown, both in their learning and as individuals. We are incredibly proud of everything the children have achieved this year. They have worked so hard, shown amazing enthusiasm and made so many wonderful memories together. Thank you to all of our families for your continued support throughout the year. We hope everyone has a fantastic summer break and we wish our wonderful Year 1 children all the very best as they begin their Year 2 adventure!
Year 6 - Circus Skills
Year 6 were treated to an exciting circus skills workshop. The children embraced every challenge with enthusiasm, taking part in a wide variety of activities including juggling, plate spinning, riding mini balance bikes, performing with ribbons and testing their coordination through balancing acts. It was wonderful to see everyone stepping outside their comfort zones, showing resilience, determination and plenty of teamwork.
Year 3- Movie and Party
Today, the children celebrated their last few days of Year 3 by making bead bracelets, challenging themselves to tackle math problems, playing Hangman, enjoying some party food, and watching The Boss Baby.

Reception- Circus Workshop
The hall was transformed into a bustling big top today as Reception took part in an incredible circus workshop! The children absolutely loved unleashing their inner acrobats and showed off some seriously impressive coordination. Throughout the workshop, they whirled and twirled as they balanced spinning plates, danced gracefully with colourful ribbons, juggled soft scarves, and bravely took to walking on stilts. They even practiced their laser focus by balancing delicate feathers, and there were endless giggles as they attempted to ride some very tricky bikes with no handlebars! What an absolute treat of a morning. Everyone had a brilliant time, and it is safe to say we have some future circus stars in our midst!
Summer Reading Challenge Assembly
Today, Jackie from the Library Service came in to talk to us about the Summer Reading Challenge. She told us about lots of exciting challenges and prizes, so look out for some more information coming home this week.
Year 3- Circus Day Skills Workshop
Today, Year 3 is buzzing with energy as we welcomed two fantastic circus instructors, both named Liv, who inspired us to live life to its fullest, be brave, and cheer each other on. With their encouragement, everyone showed incredible resilience and teamwork as they tackled a range of challenging skills, from balancing peacock feathers and walking on stilts to mastering spinning plates, ribbon routines, mini-bike, air-track, and scarf juggling, truly an unforgettable experience.
Year 1 Circus Workshop.
Year 1 were lucky enough to enjoy a circus workshop, which taught them lots of skills. Throughout the workshop, they whirled and twirled as they balanced spinning plates, danced gracefully with colourful ribbons, juggled soft scarves, and bravely took to walking on stilts. They even practised their laser focus by balancing delicate feathers, and there were endless giggles as they attempted to ride some very tricky bikes with no handlebars! It was such a fun morning and they behaved brilliantly.
Celebrating a Fantastic Year in Year 3
This afternoon, Year 3 lived life to its fullest with a trip to the park! They had the best time playing and relaxing before we break up for the summer. This treat was so well- deserved; every single one of them has worked their absolute hardest in Year 3 this year. We are so proud of you all!
Year 1 Maths: Obstacle Course
Year 1 completed a blindfolded obstacle course in Maths. This linked to our current topic Position and Direction. One partner had to use words such as forwards, under, over, left and right to direct their blindfolded partner to the end of the course. It was amazing to see how well they could use these words to explain the directions and the children enjoyed it.
