Our Reception children have finished off their fairytales topic with a fantastic finale at Goldilocks’ birthday party! Since they started school in September, the children have ventured to imaginary far away lands, they have been up the giants’ beanstalk and have flown towards the second star to the right. We have been visited by [...]
We had only been back at school for three days when we set off on our first trip of the year - to watch the Tour of Britain cycle race. An excited class of year six children walked down past the village hall to a nice elevated vantage point on the recreation ground. There was [...]
Congratulations to our year six class who proudly graduated from their DAaRT course. DAaRT is the course that was formerly known as DARE and prepares our oldest children for their teenage years ahead. Here they are looking rather pleased with themselves and wearing their graduation t-shirts. [...]
It was a real treat for me to take two delightful children on a Friday afternoon trip to County Hall’s debating chamber for our most recent pupil parliament meeting. Two representatives from every primary school in Rushcliffe were in attendance and brought with them notes from discussions that had happened back in their classrooms. [...]

We used AR to find out about the lifecycle of a butterfly, and VR to inspire our vocabulary work. Everyone really enjoyed using these technologies, and imagining how they might develop in schools of [...]

We have looked at the 'author' language and I'm sure you'll all be suitably impressed with how the children of [...]
Class 4 are an amazing group of artists. Unfortunately our parents don't get to see our books as much as we would like. In class, we were so keen to show off our improving skills that we thought we would publish some of our favourite pages. Here is a sneak peek into our sketch [...]
This afternoon Class 2 took a trip to Japan! We had a go at origami, used chopsticks (some of us were surprisingly good!), copied some beautiful Japanese writing and designed a character in Japanese comic style. We also shared some of our favourite facts from our Japan homework - Mrs Fleming learned a thing [...]
They came, they saw, they conquered class 4! What a day we had! From playing games in the forum to dressing in incredibly heavy Roman armour, we experienced so much of this fascinating era. Have a look at just some of the pictures from our wonderful day. [...]
Class 2 have been learning about Captain Scott's expedition to the South Pole. We recreated Scott’s expedition on the playground, starting on his ship, Terra Nova, where we had to shovel lots of coal to burn through the ice pack. At last, we spotted Antarctica. Then we built a hut to live in through [...]
