🎉👧👦 Children in Charge Day! 👦👧🎉

On the last day before the May half-term break, the children took over for a very special Children in Charge Day!

The children came to school in their own clothes, enjoyed a lunch menu chosen by them, helped to host our Celebration Assemblies and, most importantly, each class decided how they wanted to spend their day.

There was something for everyone, including:
⚽ Sports games and outdoor activities
🎨 Arts, crafts and painting
🏛️ Designing and building an entire Mayan city with LEGO
📄 Origami creations
👗 Dressing up and imaginative play

Days like these provide so many valuable learning opportunities. Outdoor sports help develop teamwork, communication and physical wellbeing, while arts and crafts encourage creativity, self-expression and fine motor skills. Building projects such as the LEGO Mayan city promote problem-solving, collaboration and critical thinking, and activities like origami help strengthen concentration, patience and perseverance.

Most importantly, giving children a voice and choice in their learning helps build confidence, independence and a sense of ownership over their school experience.

It was wonderful to see so much enthusiasm, creativity and teamwork throughout the day. A fantastic way to end the half term! 🌟

Unfortunately, due to the heavy rain today and more expected over night, tomorrow's sports day will be cancelled for Reception - Year 6.

Nursery's date remains unchanged.

A new date will be communicated to parents tomorrow.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Thank you for your patience while this problem was rectified. We are pleased to inform you that our phone lines are now working as usual.
