Our whole school topic this half term has inspired our children to empathise with the life of those who lived 100 years ago. We have thought about the soldiers who once walked on Main Street... the children who played at the village school... the jobs that they did and the farmland that once surrounded us. [...]

21 children from years 1 and 2 went to take part in the athletics festival at Rushcliffe school. For many of these children it was their first time representing the school and taking part against other schools from the Rushcliffe area. The children were so proud to wear their kit like the older children do, [...]
Class 2 worked so hard in our art lessons last half term and have really started to master the skill of highlighting and shading to make an object appear 3D. They have created some magnificent robots that have caught the eye of everyone passing along the junior corridor. One lucky painting has even made its [...]

We most certainly came home sandy, happy and very tired, but full of happy memories. Here are just a few of the [...]
