But the excitement didn’t stop there—every child who entered received a prize in recognition of their hard work and dedication. We couldn’t be more proud of our budding engineers and their innovative

Year 1 became animal experts this week as they turned into poo detectives in their science lesson! By carefully examining different types of 'animal poo', the children worked out whether it came from a herbivore, carnivore or omnivore. There were lots of great discussions, brilliant thinking and plenty of giggles as the children discovered how an animal’s diet can leave important clues behind!

As part of our Unity in the Community  topic, Year 1 had a fantastic experience visiting a local residential home! We received a warm welcome from both residents and staff and were treated to a drink and a biscuit. Afterwards, we sang some nursery rhymes and were met with lovely praise from the residents. It was wonderful to see the huge smiles on their faces as a result of our singing and visit! We also had the chance to speak with the carers and learn about the residents, i

Year 1 welcomed a visit from Dogs Trust. The children were taught how to stay safe around dogs and how to be responsible and kind when interacting with animals.

Crossing the road safely is an essential skill and Year 1 have learned how to cross the road safely with our 'School Crossing Patrol' Officer. They were taught how to STOP, LOOK and LISTEN and how to find a safe place to cross. The children learnt through fun role play and even learnt a song to help them remember the rules of crossing the road safely! They can't wait to put their skills into practise on their next community walk.

As part of our inspiration day to launch our new topic, Unity in the Community , Year 1 enjoyed a local walk around the area surrounding our school, where they looked carefully for different road signs. During the walk, the children identified a range of signs and symbols and discussed the actions they tell us to take, such as stop, slow down, or speed up. They also learned about the Green Cross Code and put it into practice safely when crossing several roads. The children ca

Everyone showed excellent awareness and responsibility, making it a very successful and enjoyable learning experience.

Our local Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) visited Key Stage 1 to talk to the children about stranger danger and the importance of recognising safer strangers. During the session, the children listened carefully and took part in discussions about different everyday scenarios. Together, they explored what to do if they ever feel worried or unsure, and who they can go to for help. The PCSO explained that not all strangers are unsafe and helped the children identify safer

Year 1 had a fantastic time today looking for signs of winter as part of their science learning.

It was a wonderful hands-on experience that helped them spot seasonal changes and enjoy the magic of winter.

Year 1 have been exploring the sense of smell in their science lessons this week. There were lots of surprised reactions — not all the smells were to their liking!

A huge thank you to all the parents and carers who attended Year 1’s Design and Technology workshop! The children absolutely loved sharing their learning with their grown-ups and worked hard to create some wonderful bags — perfectly suitable for Tinkerbell! We hope you enjoyed spending time with us and seeing the children’s creativity in action. Thank you also for your kind comments and continued support. "This has been a wonderful workshop.
