🌞🌙 Look up! A solar eclipse is coming! 🌙🌞
Tomorrow, Wednesday 12 August, families in Oxfordshire can spot a partial solar eclipse! 🔭✨
Why not explore it together? Talk about how the Moon moves between the Sun and Earth, make a simple model, read about space or keep an eclipse observation diary. 🚀📚
⚠️ Remember: never look directly at the Sun. Use certified eclipse glasses or a safe viewing method.
What will your young scientists discover? 🌍💫

☀️💦 THROWBACK TO END OF TERM SUMMER FUN! 🍦🌈

The Ducklings 🐥 and Robins enjoyed ice creams piled high with sprinkles 🍦🍫✨… and a VERY enthusiastic water fight! 💦🔫😂
But the big question is… who enjoyed it more and who got the wettest? 🤔👀
🐥 Ducklings
🐦 Robins
👩🏫 The adults!

Looking for things to do next week, why not check out this free exhibition 🛡⚔️👑📚
As the school year came to a close, our incredible Eagles Class of 2026 took to the stage one final time. 🦅💙
Their Leavers' Assembly had all the emotions... ❤️ Tears (of pride, laughter and saying goodbye), plenty of giggles, treasured memories and some unforgettable stories from their primary school journey. From residential adventures (including the mystery of what scared Ms Deeks... and those brave enough to eat bugs! 🐛😱), beach trips and unforgettable English lessons, to a surprise video message from Mr Judd 🎥, it was a celebration of everything that has made this class so special.
There were plenty of smiles as Miss Spencer's kindness ❤️, Mrs Durman's famously misplaced glasses 🤓 and their unforgettable title as Mrs Cooper's "Super Toppers" ⭐ all got a well-deserved mention!
Thank you, Eagles, for an unforgettable assembly and for reminding us just how much you have grown over the years. You truly showcased the amazing journey you've been on, and we couldn't be prouder of each and every one of you. 🌟
Good luck in your new schools – keep aiming high, keep being kind, and don't forget to come back and visit us! 💙🎓
