Our wonderful day at Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre! We explored the many hardships of being a Roman soldier, including the uncomfortable armour, heavy weapons, and strange bathing rituals. Excitingly, we got to make our very own Testudo! (Although foam balls were much easier to defend against than spears.) We became archaeologists for a while, [...]
What a talented bunch of sewers we have in Year 2! 🧵✨ As part of our DT learning, we have been busy designing and making our very own purses. We started by planning our designs before carefully using a running stitch to sew our purses together. The children then took on the tricky challenge [...]
What a marvellous afternoon in Year 2! 🧪✨ Inspired by George’s Marvellous Medicine, we became potion makers for the afternoon! We practised our measuring skills and used pipettes and syringes to carefully create our concoctions. We added glitter for a touch of sparkle, experimented with shaving foam and even mixed cornstarch and water to explore [...]

What's more, we raised a magnificent £750 for a charity that is close to many of our hearts. Thank you for baking... thank you to our Friends Committee for organising... and thank you for [...]

The trophy now sits proudly at the top of our trophy shelf—a well deserved achievement and a fitting reward for all their hard work. I have been incredibly impressed with the [...]
As has become tradition in recent years, on a sunny summer's afternoon we like to start getting into the holiday mood by hosting our fish and chip Friday on the field! As well as taking our lunch outside, everyone was invited to bring picnic blankets and beach games, which made for a happy couple [...]
Years 5 and 6 were incredibly excited to have their residential experience at Mount Cook this week. For some this was their first ’proper’ residential. The children have had a fabulous time over three days. As you can see from the pictures, it was an action packed adventure and the children smiled and laughed throughout, [...]
It was a joy to welcome you all to our Harry Potter Exhibition on Wednesday. Your children's work was utterly brilliant and seeing it all together in the hall made us realise just how much has been achieved over the past 6 weeks. One of the tasks that you may not have appreciated was [...]
