🏃💨 Secondary taster PE session:

5️⃣ Year 5 were delighted to welcome a PE teacher from St Thomas à Becket’s and had a fantastic time taking part in an exciting taster PE session, full of energy, teamwork and joy

🤝 We're so grateful to the PE teacher for coming to see us; it was wonderful for the children to experience the activities and spirit of our feeder school community within the Trust

🎉 They did it… SATs are officially finished!

🥲 We are incredibly proud of every single child for the attitude they displayed throughout SATs week

🤩 We live by our 3 Rs — Respect, Responsibility and Resilience — and our pupils demonstrated all three in abundance every single day

💪 They approached each test with determination, maturity and positivity, truly rising to each challenge. A big well done from all our staff!

🎽👟 Postgate's fun in PE:

⛪ Learning about God's house:

✝️ This week in Early Years, we’ve been learning all about God’s house – the church

👋 The children explored what they might find inside and shared thoughtful ideas about how everyone is welcome there

🧱 They then built their own churches using bricks, remembering to include a door to show that God’s house is always open

⚱️ Getting creative with clay!

4️⃣ Class Four have been exploring how to prepare clay by pressing, squeezing and rolling, and practised the ‘score and slip’ technique to join pieces securely

🪷 They then had a go at shaping their own petals—great teamwork and fantastic effort all round!
