Year 1 enjoyed a fantastic trip to Kew Gardens this week as part of their Plants and Growing topic.

During their visit, the children explored the Hive, discovered the Carbon Garden, visited the beautiful Princess of Wales Conservatory, and took part in the engaging Plant Hunters workshop. They had a wonderful time learning about plants, their importance, and the amazing variety of life they support.

It was a fantastic day filled with curiosity, exploration, and hands-on learning.

A huge thank you to all of the parents and carers who volunteered to help on the trip. Your support is greatly appreciated and helped make the day such a success!

On Friday, we celebrated our Star Readers for this year! 📚⭐

Children who have read at home three or more times each week and recorded their reading in their reading records throughout the year were invited to a special celebration. They enjoyed a fantastic bouncy castle party and a well-deserved ice lolly!

A huge well done to all of our Star Readers. We are so proud of your commitment, enthusiasm, and hard work with your reading. Keep up the fantastic work! 🌟📖

It's been a very busy time at school! Here are some photos from our KS1 Sports Day, which took place at the beginning of July. It was a fantastic day, and the children showed great enthusiasm, determination, and teamwork throughout. We are so proud of every one of them!

Unfortunately, we're unable to share any photos from our EYFS Sports Day as our iPad broke. However, all of the children took part, and we're sure you'll agree they all did wonderfully.

A huge thank you to all the parents and family members who joined in with the parents' race – it was great fun and helped make the day even more special. Thank you to everyone who came along to support the children and make both Sports Days such a success! 🏅🎉

🎨 Art Week Doodle Day! 🌟

Today, our school hall has been transformed into a creative art space, with a variety of doodle stations for all pupils to enjoy.

Throughout Art Week, each year group has been inspired by a different famous artist:
🖌️ Nursery – Piet Mondrian
🖌️ Reception – Wassily Kandinsky
🖌️ Year 1 – Yayoi Kusama
🖌️ Year 2 – Henri Matisse

Today, all of the children will take part in a whole-school doodle session, creating artwork inspired by the artists they have been learning about. We can't wait to see their creativity come to life and celebrate the fantastic artwork they produce!
