🌍⚽ Our World Cup Home Learning Projects! ⚽🌍

What an incredible display of creativity, effort and learning from our children! From Reception right through to Year 6, pupils have been busy completing home learning projects all about the countries taking part in the World Cup.

Each class explored a different nation, researching fascinating facts about its culture, landmarks, traditions, food and famous attractions before proudly presenting their learning. The creativity on show has been amazing, with everything from handcrafted models and artwork to interactive displays and detailed fact files.

A huge well done to all of our children and a big thank you to our families for supporting them with these fantastic projects at home. We are so proud of the enthusiasm, imagination and hard work that has gone into every single one. 🌎❤️

Here are just a few of the wonderful projects on display! 👏✨

Unfortunately, due to our school hall being out of use, we have had to make the difficult decision to cancel tomorrow’s Little Rainbows Mother & Baby Group (Thursday 2nd July).

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding. We look forward to welcoming everyone back at our next session and will share the date with you as soon as possible.

Thank you for your continued support. 💛

This week, we have loved celebrating all of the dads and special people in our children’s lives. ❤️

From enjoying delicious breakfasts together to taking part in stay and play sessions and exploring our Forest School, it has been wonderful to see so many special memories being made.

A huge thank you to all of the parents and family members who joined us throughout the week – your support and involvement mean so much to our school community.

Wishing a very Happy Father’s Day to all of the dads, grandads, stepdads, uncles and special people who make such a difference in our children’s lives. 💙

Today, our children came to school dressed in red and white to celebrate England’s first game in the World Cup! ⚽🏴

There was a fantastic buzz around school as everyone showed their support for the Three Lions. Come on, England! 🦁🦁🦁
