From gentle cuddles to careful observations, our pupils immersed themselves in the world of these fluffy friends. Through this handson experience, our pupils fostered a deeper understanding of life cycles, animal behaviour, and the importance of compassion towards all living beings. It was a heartwarming sight to see our school community come together to support and nurture our feathered guests.

It was a pleasure to celebrate World Book Day on 7th March 2024, with a delightful array of literary festivities. This year, both staff and pupils were encouraged to come dressed as their favourite book characters, which ignited the magic of storytelling throughout our school. The highlight of the day was a special assembly titled “The Masked Reader,” where mystery and intrigue unfolded as individuals, hid behind the curtains and disguised their voices as they read extracts from their favourite books. After each reading, the pupils had the fun task of unmasking the reader.

On Friday 9th February, the Year 3 pupils visited The Look Out Discovery Centre for their Educational School Trip. During this visit, the pupils explored different aspects of Science such as Our Solar System, learning about cool astronomy facts, the human body, light and sound and how water freezes. The pupils were able to climb a high tower where they could see a forested area; this integrated into their Geography topic on Rainforest. They were also able to see plants in a natural habitat and various species of insects.
