🎉 Celebrating Our Stars! ✨
We are so proud to celebrate all of our wonderful Stars of the Week winners this term so far!
Our SOTW pupils have shown fantastic effort, resilience and a positive attitude to their learning – you are all true role models 🌟
Keep up the amazing work – we are so proud of each and every one of you! 👏

🌊 Year 1 Visit to Hunstanton 🌊
As part of our Parnwell Promise – ensuring all pupils have access to rich and diverse experiences that support their learning – our Year 1 children enjoyed a fantastic trip to Hunstanton!
The children had a wonderful time exploring the beach, searching for shells and fossils, enjoying their packed lunch on the green, and finishing the day with a well‑earned ice cream in the sunshine ☀️🍦
These real‑life experiences will help bring their class text, The Snail and the Whale, to life and deepen their understanding back in school. A brilliant day full of smiles, learning and seaside fun! 🐌🐋

🎉 Celebrating 100 Years of Sir David Attenborough 🎉
To mark the incredible 100th birthday of Sir David Attenborough, children from across our school came together to celebrate their love of the natural world 🌍💚
Each child drew their favourite animal, and these small, individual artworks were then carefully brought together to form a giant “100” – a powerful reminder that every young voice and every creature matters.
From roaring lions to tiny insects, the range of animals reflects the curiosity, creativity and care our children have for the planet we all share. Thank you, Sir David, for inspiring generations to explore, protect and cherish the natural world.

🌌 Year 5 Space Adventure! 🌌
Last term, Year 5 were lucky to have a visit from a mobile planetarium as part of their exciting space topic. The children were amazed as they explored the planets, stars and galaxies, and learned all about our solar system in an immersive, hands‑on way. ⭐🪐
A fantastic experience that really brought their learning to life – well done Year 5 for your enthusiasm and curiosity!

🥔📚 Reading Potato Character Competition Winners 📚🥔
Well done to our fantastic Reading Potato Character competition winners! The creativity on display was brilliant, and we were so impressed by the effort put into each entry.
Winners were presented with a prize, a reading book and a certificate during assembly to celebrate their achievement. It was lovely to recognise their hard work in front of the whole school.
Well done to everyone who took part — you should be very proud! 🌟👏

🌟 End of Term Celebrations 🌟
At the end of last term, we were delighted to celebrate our Star of the Week award winners and to present new Pen Licences to pupils who have shown excellent progress in their handwriting ✍️
These awards recognise hard work, positive attitudes, and a real commitment to learning. We are incredibly proud of all our pupils and the effort they show every day.
Well done to everyone who was celebrated — keep up the fantastic work! 👏⭐

💛 Thank You, Year 6 Parents 💛
A huge thank you to all our Year 6 parents and carers who joined us for the Year 6 Exhibition of Learning. It was wonderful to see so many of you celebrating the hard work, creativity and progress of our pupils.
The children were incredibly proud to share their learning, and your support and encouragement made the event truly special. Thank you for taking the time to be part of such an important moment in their journey.
We are so proud of our Year 6! 🌟

🌟 We’re an OPAL Gold Award School! 🌟
We are incredibly proud to announce that our school has been officially accredited with the OPAL (Outdoor Play and Learning) Gold Award 🏅
This achievement recognises our commitment to providing high‑quality outdoor play opportunities that support children’s wellbeing, learning, creativity and enjoyment. It reflects the hard work and dedication of our pupils, staff, governors and wider school community, and the fantastic way our outdoor spaces are used every day.
A huge thank you to everyone who has supported us on this journey — we couldn’t have done it without you! 💚🌿

🎓✨ We had the privilege of welcoming Virtual School for powerful teacher training on trauma‑informed practice.
The session used virtual reality headsets, allowing our staff to step into the shoes of children and experience how different types of trauma can shape the way they feel, behave, interact, and learn.
It was a fantastic, insightful, and truly eye‑opening experience—highlighting the realities many children face, often without others even being aware.
We’re committed to understanding our pupils more deeply and continuing to build a school environment where every child feels seen, safe, and supported. 💛
