Ahead of World Oceans Day in June, Year 2 pupils have been thinking carefully about how we can protect our oceans.
After identifying ways we can all help reduce pollution, they put their ideas into action by writing letters to the Prime Minister, sharing their concerns.
A thoughtful and inspiring example of pupils engaging with global issues and sharing their ideas with confidence.

Year 1 stepped back in time this week as their learning on the Great Fire of London was brought to life with a visit from Samuel Pepys himself!
Pupils heard what it might have felt like to witness London ablaze, before stepping into the story themselves, imagining how they would help tackle the fire, using hooks to pull down buildings and pumping water to contain the flames.
A great hands-on experience!
Congratulations to Leela, who has secured an Art Scholarship to Stowe, a wonderful recognition of her talent, creativity and dedication.

Here she is in conversation with Ms Coupe, reflecting on her portfolio and artistic journey. Well done Leela!
