It was another brilliant Forest School session this week in Reception! The children dug with their new trowels and made some delicious looking plates of food for the birds. Some children even found some worms as the toppings! We are certain the birds will thoroughly enjoy them.

As part of their 'Mission' from our Celebration of the Word this week, Reception could choose a name from our box and 'peg a prayer' to them. The children were respectful and thought of a prayer to say for their friend. We left it out over the week for the children to choose different friends, knowing that on different days, some people need our prayers for different reasons.

Nursery thought about the best way to rescue the whale as part of our new topic about polar regions.

Reception had their first Forest School session and what fun we had! Sticks became fishing rods and wands, casting spells for treats and other lovely things! All of the children shared ideas as to what they would like to see in our Forest School and we can't wait to get started!

Our Reception children were so excited to return to school to see so much snow. Of course we had to play in it! We found imprints in the snow and we all discussed what we thought made them and why. What do you think made them?

To bring the Jubilee Year – Pilgrims of Hope  – to a meaningful close, our whole school gathered together for a special Celebration of the Word. It was a beautiful moment of unity, reflection, and gratitude, as we looked back on the journey we have shared throughout the year. Each class created their own Angels of Hope , carefully crafted with messages, prayers and symbols that represented faith, kindness and the hope we carry into the future. Alongside this, we worked togeth

Some of our youngest pupils thoroughly enjoyed time with their grown ups making lots of Christmassy things to take home. A lovely afternoon had by all.

Thank you so much to our wonderful families and friends who joined us last night for our annual Christmas Drop‑In. The hall was filled with festive cheer, community spirit and plenty of smiles as we came together to celebrate this special time of year. Our Year 5 choir opened the evening beautifully with carol singing in the hall. Their clear voices and confident performance created the perfect Christmas atmosphere and set the tone for a joyful event. Around the hall, familie

6RH have been putting their creativity and faith into action by producing beautiful Nativity themed artwork to share with their local parish community. As part of their Faith in Action award, the children were challenged to think deeply about the meaning of Christmas and alongside their illustrations, they carefully selected scripture pieces to share encouragement and joy. The completed artworks will be gifted to our local parishes, where they will be displayed during the Adv

Class 6CT enjoyed their afternoon using their knowledge of circuits to make a set of traffic lights!

Our Year 5 and Year 6 pupils beautifully opened this year’s Advent festivities with a wonderful Advent Carol Service at St Edward’s. Their singing and readings filled the church with joy and hope, reminding us all of the true meaning of this season—waiting patiently and faithfully for the arrival of Jesus. A heartfelt well done to our pupils for helping us begin this special journey in such a meaningful way.

We made a new colour with a friend, can you guess which colours we made?

Nursery had lots of fun playing in the snow and ice this week! Some great opportunities for developing our language skills.

We had a wonderful day celebrating the annual campaign supporting disadvantaged children in the UK. Reception thought about how to be a good friend to everyone and that it can make others happy.

Reception enjoyed making their own bread to end their learning based on the story 'The Little Red Hen'. We weighed, mixed, kneaded and shaped the dough before baking it in our oven. Our school smelled amazing and the children thoroughly enjoyed the process!

We pedalled our way to a delicious fruit smoothie! 6Ct showed plenty of determination and enthusiasm as they powered the blender with their own cycling energy. It was a fun and tasty way to stay active and learn about healthy choices!

We had a lovely time this week thinking about how to be a good friend, we made bracelets and pictures for each other.  We loved dressing up for children in need.

6RH have been busy exploring electrical circuits, learning how to connect components like bulbs, wires, and switches to make their own working systems. They experimented with creating complete and incomplete circuits, then moved on to designing clear circuit diagrams using the correct symbols. To apply their learning, the class studied how traffic lights work, discussing how a sequence of circuits controls the changing colours. By the end, they were able to explain how electr
