Literacy
We created a display to show our narrative writing journey from reception to year 6 and had a sneak peek at year 7 expectations too.
Book Swap
Our book swap area is now open to all. Lovely to see 2 of our year 1 children accessing it independently.
World Environment Day
Key stage 1 enjoyed a lovely story about cleaning up the environment and discussed what we could do to help.
Royal Shakespeare Company Associate Schools Programme
We are excited to be part of the Associate Schools Programme ran by RSC. Members of staff have participated in residential and local training delivered by the RSC. We then delivered some of this as CPD to the whole teaching and SLT staff. They had lots of fun and can't wait to share their learning with their classes!
Royal Shakespeare Company
As a result of staff training, all classes have been introduced to William Shakespeare and his play 'The Tempest'. We look forward to exploring more Shakespeare plays next year.
World Poetry Day 2024
We held an assembly to celebrate World Poetry Day. We had some very brave children who read some poems aloud in the assembly for the rest of us to enjoy.
During lunch, we enjoyed listening to Mrs Ord reading from our 'Crazy Creatures' book (which contains stories written by children in our school).
