Year 6 - Careers Day
Today, Year 6 celebrated the RotaKids Careers Day, with the children dressing up as the careers they aspire to have in the future. It was fantastic to see such a wide range of ambitions, from athletes and teachers to doctors, engineers, police officers and many more! Throughout the day, the children explored the importance of setting goals, working hard and showing resilience to achieve their dreams. The children discussed the skills, qualities and determination needed for different careers before creating informative and creative posters showcasing their chosen profession and the steps they can take to make their aspirations a reality. It was an inspiring day that encouraged the children to think positively about their futures and reminded them that, with dedication and perseverance, they can achieve great things.
Future Leaders: Year 3 Take on Careers Day
Today was the whole-school Careers Day led by our RotaKids, and our Year 3 classroom was absolutely buzzing with inspiration! The children looked fantastic dressed up as their future selves, either stepping into their parents' roles or showcasing their own big dreams for when they grow up. It was wonderful to see just how much ambition our Year 3s showed during this school event. The future looks incredibly bright with such a talented group, including doctors, nurses, vets, teachers, hairdressers, actors, pilots, basketball players, architects, and engineers. We are so proud of our Year 3 students for dreaming big and aiming high.
Careers Day in Year 4
Today we took part in ‘Careers Day’ and Year 4 put every effort into dressing up in their best outfits. We had everything from artists to acrobats. As part of our day, we discussed how lucky we are to have so many career options available to us and how important our education is in relation to this. What a super day we have all had!
Year 6 - PSHE
Today in Year 6, the children continued exploring their Growing and Changing unit in PSHE. Throughout the session, the children discussed a range of real-life scenarios they may encounter as they get older, including body image, physical and emotional changes, the influence of social media and building positive self-esteem. The children worked collaboratively to explore these situations, discussing and modelling appropriate responses while considering healthy ways to manage challenges they may face in the future. It was fantastic to see such thoughtful conversations, mature attitudes and respectful discussions as the children developed the knowledge and confidence to make positive choices and support both themselves and others.

Reception- PSHE- Working Together Makes Us Stronger
In our PSHE lesson we looked at how working together as a team can make things better. In class we watched a video which showed us how teamwork makes us stronger but only when it’s good teamwork. We went outside and practiced our own teamwork games using the parachute.
Reception class watch England v Mexico
Our reception class had the absolute best time cheering on England! They watched the England v Mexico match together as a class, and the energy in the room was incredible. It was so lovely to see them completely into the spirit of the game, chanting and cheering the boys on with so much enthusiasm. They are already buzzing with excitement to watch the next match or catch the highlights this weekend. Come on England!
Year 3- PSHE- Online Safety Lesson: "None of your business!"
This afternoon, our Year 3 class looked at a lesson titled "None of your business!" which focused on internet safety, privacy, and personal data. The children started with a fun "Guess Who?" game about celebrities to explore how we share information. They then watched an educational film clip called Lee and Kim by CEOP, which taught them about the potential dangers of sharing private details online with strangers. Through Super Sid’s top tips, the children learnt to recognise the "uh-oh" feeling (butterflies in the tummy) when something doesn't feel right and understood that they should always tell a trusted adult. We also discussed the concept of a "digital tattoo" to emphasise that once information or photos are posted on the internet, they are almost impossible to remove permanently. The class did a fantastic job learning how to keep themselves safe, private, and respectful online.
Year 5-6 Transition
Today, our Year 5 pupils took an exciting step on their primary school journey as they transitioned into Year 6. Throughout the day, the children took part in a range of activities designed to help them reflect on who they are and the goals they want to achieve during their final year at primary school. They designed their own personalised hoodies to showcase their personalities and created aspiration jars, filling them with their hopes, ambitions and targets for the year ahead. To finish the day, the children confidently delivered their speeches as they applied for key leadership roles within the school, including Head Boy, Head Girl, Deputy Head Boy and Girl, Sports Leaders and Play Leaders. It was wonderful to see so many pupils stepping out of their comfort zones, speaking with confidence and demonstrating the qualities of future leaders. We are incredibly proud of each and every one of them and can’t wait to see them flourish in Year 6.

Year 2 Transition to Year 3
What a busy move up day it’s been in Year 3! The children were all bundles of nerves and excitement this morning, but they soon settled. We started the day with a story about two squabbling squirrels, and talked about the importance of getting along. We then played a game of human bingo, for which we had to ask each other questions and write names on the bingo card. We also created a design on a jigsaw piece ready to put together for our class display. Towards the end of the day, we played a few parachute games and then said our goodbyes. We hope the children enjoyed their taster day in the juniors and are now looking forward to September.

Year 4 Growing & Changing in PSHE & RSE
In our growing and changing PSHE unit we have been looking at how our bodies change. This week we discussed the topic of menstruation. We found out that a period (or menstruation) is a natural, monthly process where a girl's body sheds a special lining of blood and tissue from the uterus, leaving through the vagina. It is a healthy sign that a girl's body is growing up and going through puberty. Mrs Gardner also showed us a range of sanitary products and how there are even period knickers and swimming costumes now.
Year 6 - Panda Paramedics
Today, Year 6 took part in an engaging and invaluable session led by Panda Paramedics, where the children learned essential first aid and lifesaving skills. The children enjoyed a hands-on experience, practising CPR on training manikins, learning how to use a defibrillator safely and developing their understanding of basic first aid techniques. Throughout the session, the children showed fantastic enthusiasm, maturity and teamwork, gaining the confidence and knowledge that could one day help them respond in an emergency. It was a brilliant opportunity for the children to learn practical skills that could make a real difference in someone’s life.
Year 2 - Panda Paramedic Visit
Year 2 have learned some important First Aid skills this week. They achieved their bronze award in First Aid. Thanks Panda Paramedic!
