Rifleman Rundall beautifully bugled The Last Post and an immaculately observed 2 minutes silence followed. The children were immaculately behaved and it really was a moving moment which allowed us to collectively reflect and remember those whom had sacrificed so much. I read out the exhortation:

This experience was very special, poignant and made us think even more about all our learning surrounding World War 1.
• Friday 8 November 2024 What's the matter? This week, we encouraged our students to explore the concept of matter in its various forms. We discovered that matter can exist as a solid, liquid, or gas. For instance, children observed how ice (a solid) melts into water (a liquid) and how water can then turn into steam (a gas) when heated. This exploration helped them grasp the idea that all matter is made up of tiny particles that behave differently depending on their state.
