• Friday 13 February 2026 Happy Lunar New Year! Our EYFS class recently enjoyed a wonderful learning experience exploring the Lunar New Year, and we are excited to share what the children discovered.
• Friday 6 February 2026 Year 2 birdsong I had a fantastic day with year 2. We were learning about common British birds we all find in our gardens, parks and school grounds. The children were really enthusiastic about this subject which was so lovely for me as I love birds! We listened to some birdsong of various birds - the challenge was to see if the children could tell what species was ‘singing'. I gave the children an identification sheet to help them with their bird watching at home. Hopefully it will come in handy. We then took some time to hear the beautiful bird song in our school garden. It was amazing because in our small space we must have heard at least 6 different types of birds.
• Friday 6 February 2026 Science Week - EYFS During Science Week, our EYFS class had a fantastic time exploring and experimenting like real scientists! The children loved taking part in class experiments including walking water, dancing popcorn and a “sink or float” investigation, where they made predictions and shared their discoveries. We also enjoyed a carousel of hands-on activities such as rainbow bubbles, string telephones, milk fireworks, DIY lava lamps and making oobleck, which sparked lots of curiosity and excitement. To make the week even more special, we had visits from the mobile zoo Jaws and Claws, where we met some amazing animals, and a travelling planetarium where we learnt all about the planets and space. It was a wonderful week full of exploration, questioning and discovery!
• Tuesday 3 February 2026 Rockin' Rocks Workshop Year 3 have had the most fantastic day today learning everything there is to know about rocks!

• Monday 12 January 2026 Save a tree - Year 6 Forest school Our forest school session was a freezing, damp and soggy. It was not a pleasant day weather wise, so we had our day in our lovely cosy garden room. We had a really lovely day. Our theme was ‘Trees'. Together we spoke about why trees are vital. We learnt about the shape classifications of trees. Then the children got creative and did some fabulous tree art. Some drew trees, we even had a few 3d trees. After they were creative they added some tree facts.

• Friday 5 December 2025 Brrr! We're off to the Arctic! This week in the EYFS we delved into the world of the Arctic and Antarctic! The children thoroughly enjoy looking at these places on the globe and Google Earth and we spoke about their positioning on the globe being the cause of their extreme weather. The children were fascinated with the wildlife so we looked into this in more detail, learning about animals native to these regions. We had lots of exciting snow and ice themed enhancements out this week which you can see below. These included:

We did our crafty activity in our garden room and the other half of the class made a fire and roasted marshmallows.
• Thursday 4 December 2025 Year 4 on Cloud Nine as Water Cycle Work Rains Down Success! Our curious year 4 scientists have been hard at work, investigating the water cycle in ways that have brought both fun and learning right into their classroom. From setting up their own mini-clouds to watching rain form, their hands-on experiments have not only deepened their understanding but also sparked a love for science that is wonderful to see.
