What a fantastic time we had at our Colour Run! The children absolutely loved taking part and there were smiles, laughter, and colourful powder everywhere.
As they ran around the course, the children were covered from head to toe in bright colours, making for a truly memorable and exciting experience. It was wonderful to see everyone having so much fun!
Of course, it was very messy, but that was all part of the fun! The children embraced every colourful moment and created lots of happy memories with their friends.
We hope you enjoy looking through the photos of our vibrant and joyful Colour Run adventure!
What an amazing Sports Day we had, even in such hot weather! The children showed fantastic enthusiasm and determination as they took part in all the activities.
A huge thank you to all our families for your support and for joining us to make the day so special. It was wonderful to see so many of you cheering the children on and celebrating their achievements.
Following Sports Day, we loved welcoming you into the classroom for our Celebration of Learning. The children were incredibly proud to share their beautiful work and talk about everything they have been learning throughout the year. It was a lovely opportunity to celebrate all of their hard work, progress, and successes together.
Thank you once again for your continued support. We hope you enjoy looking through the photos from this fantastic day!
Last week, our children enjoyed a fantastic fieldwork visit to Cleethorpes, and what a wonderful day we had!
From the moment we arrived, the children were a credit to our school. They behaved beautifully throughout the day, showing excellent manners, enthusiasm and curiosity as they explored the seaside environment.
We were very lucky with the weather too. The sun was shining and a lovely sea breeze helped to keep everyone comfortable as we spent time on the beach. Of course, no trip to the seaside would be complete without a special treat! The children were delighted to enjoy ice creams and ice lollies, which were the perfect way to cool down after a busy day of exploring and having fun. Please enjoy some of the photos below, which capture the fun, laughter and memorable moments from our day at the beach!
The train journey was definitely one of the highlights for many of the children. There was great excitement as we travelled along the coast together, and it was lovely to see the children sharing the experience with their friends. There were certainly a few tired eyes on the return journey home!
We are so proud of how the children represented our school and would like to thank all the staff and volunteers who helped make the trip such a success.
The whole of EYFS last week were well and truly hooked, lined and sunk into our new summer expedition “Seaside Explorers, what happens where the sea meets the shore?”
The children explored various sea creatures introduced to them through our hook text, “Commotion in the Ocean”. Each crew were given a sea creature to investigate and research, using the internet and supporting non fiction texts. The children then compiled fact files about their given sea creatures and created a large scale piece of artwork between them working collaboratively. They had lots of fun doing this and found out the most amazing facts! Each crew have employed all of their artistic talents to really think about how the creatures look and bring out the best in their features.
Both Nursery and Reception classes presented their sea creatures and fact files to each other in our weekly community meeting. They were so excited to share their interesting facts and spoke thoughtfully and beautifully about their creatures and the new knowledge that they now have! We can’t wait to dive deeper into our thrilling summer expedition. Just look at the quality and craftsmanship of our work, the children really were Go for it Gorillas!
Last Friday we celebrated World Book Day. It was a fabulous day and children were all very excited to dress as a book character and design a hat inspired by a book of their choice. We had some amazing creations that will be talked about for a long time to come.
We started the day with our community meeting where we paraded our amazing hats and costumes. We then went back into the classroom to take part in different activities linked to some of our favourite stories. We created Hungry Caterpillar repeating patterns, built houses for The Three Little Pigs and spent time listening to some of our favourite stories.
To help the children understand this big idea, Mrs Chadwick took on a very special role — she pretended to be the world! She spoke to the children about the things that can make her feel poorly, such as smoke from cars, pollution, and waste. The children listened thoughtfully and showed great empathy, considering how their actions can impact the planet.
After hearing from “the world,” the children eagerly shared their ideas about how we could help. They suggested simple but powerful actions like walking more, using bikes and scooters, and putting our rubbish in the bin. It was wonderful to see their growing awareness of how small changes can make a big difference. The children enjoyed sharing their fantastic eco-vehicle designs. The children spoke beautifully and confidently about their creations, explaining how solar power and wind energy are much better choices because they help to keep our planet clean and healthy. Many designs included solar panels, wind turbines, and even imaginative new inventions. Their creativity and understanding were truly impressive!
Alongside our learning, we have also been making the most of our beautiful world by spending lots of time outdoors. We have enjoyed the sunshine, told stories together, and played fun games in the fresh air. Being outside has helped us appreciate exactly what we are working so hard to protect.
This week, the children have also begun building their eco-vehicle design models! They have been working collaboratively, sharing ideas, listening to one another, and discussing which materials might be best to use. There have been thoughtful conversations about recycling materials, choosing strong structures, and how to include features like solar panels and wind-powered parts. The teamwork and creativity on display have been fantastic. Watch this space for the finished results!
During Hook Week, the children in class were treated to some very special visitors as we kicked off our new expedition titled “We Are on the Move.” To launch our learning in an exciting and memorable way, our school playground was transformed into our very own vehicle showcase!
The children had the fantastic opportunity to get up close with a wide variety of vehicles, each one sparking curiosity, conversation, and lots of excitement. The showcase included a tractor, a camper van, a beautiful vintage car, and even a fire engine. One of the highlights was a police car that was once in operation all the way in America, which the children found especially fascinating as they learned about how vehicles can be used differently around the world.
The children absolutely loved exploring the vehicles, asking questions, and imagining where each one might take them. It was a brilliant hands-on experience that perfectly set the scene for our new expedition and helped bring the theme of movement and travel to life.
We would like to say a huge thank you to Mr Parkhouse, who organised and arranged for many of the vehicles to come into school. His support helped make this experience truly special for the children.
We are so excited to see where our “We Are on the Move” expedition will take us next and can’t wait to continue our learning journey together!
Classes 1 and 2 have officially begun their exciting new expedition, “We’re on the Move,” and what a fantastic start it has been!
Our very first mission was to become explorers right on our doorstep. The children headed outside to carry out a survey, discovering what we could find passing by our school. Working collaboratively, they carefully observed and recorded the different vehicles they saw along the way.
From cars and vans to buses and bikes, the children were completely immersed in the experience. They took turns counting, discussing, and recording their findings, demonstrating brilliant teamwork and communication skills throughout the activity.
And the best part? The smiles! I don’t think I’ve ever seen so much excitement over watching cars pass by. The children’s enthusiasm was infectious, and their curiosity set the perfect tone for our expedition ahead.
We can’t wait to see where “We’re on the Move” takes us next!
What a magical couple of days it has been! Our Twinkly Nativity Concert was everything we hoped for and more, thanks to the enthusiasm, confidence, and joy your wonderful children brought to the stage.
From yesterday’s dress rehearsal to today’s main performance, the children were truly outstanding. They sang beautifully, danced, and remembered their lines brilliantly—all while standing confidently in front of such a large audience. We could not be prouder of each and every one of them.
We’re sure you will all agree that they looked absolutely spectacular. From shimmering stars to shepherds, angels, wisemen, innkeepers and animals, their costumes lit up the room and added that extra sparkle to the story.
We’ve captured some special photos from the performance, and we’re delighted to be able to share these moments with you. We hope they bring a smile to your face and remind you of the festive magic we all felt today.
Thank you for joining us, for your support, and for helping make this nativity such a memorable celebration. We hope the performance left you feeling wonderfully festive and ready for the holiday season ahead.
This week, we had the absolute joy of hosting our Celebration of Learning to mark the end of our very first expedition, Marvellous Me – How Are We the Same and Different? It was a truly special moment for our children, our families, and our school community.
They sang and spoke with such confidence and courage, standing proudly in front of a large audience. We were incredibly proud of each and every one of them.
As part of the celebration, every child received their very own Marvellous Me Memory Box. These beautifully presented boxes will become a place for them to store precious keepsakes: photographs, first school reports, small treasures, and all the special moments that make their journey uniquely theirs.
One of the most touching moments came at the end of the celebration. Grown-ups were invited to write a personal message of pride, love, or encouragement for their child. Seeing families pause to reflect and share heartfelt words was incredibly moving, and it added a warm, personal touch that made the experience feel even more meaningful.
It was a wonderful way to end our first expedition—celebrating identity, courage, community, and the marvellous uniqueness of every child. We thank all the families who joined us and helped make the event so memorable.
