A huge thank you to Mr Proctor for visiting us this afternoon to tell us all about the toys and games he used to play when he was a little boy! 
 

Before he began talking Mr Proctor had us all time travel back 73 years to when he was 7 years old! Once we were back in 1950 then he began showing…

In our history lessons we are learning about the past in family life, to help us understand how people lived in the past and learn about changes we are looking at toys, old and new. 
 

Today Mrs Welsh brought in a 103 year old teddy that she was given when she was a little girl. We compared…

Upper School have been exploring the identities represented in Tudor portraits. We learnt that portraits were used to signal many things including three main aspects: character, status and power.

In our RE lesson today we have been to talk our big question which is ‘What do you think is the most important part of the Easter Story?’

In art this week the children were inspired by artists Hannah Rae and Alice Kettle, who both use fabrics to create their art pieces.

Children were channelling their emotions into their art and took fabric with vastly different textures, colours and densities to use and create a collage. The…

This year we had a unique and fantastic world book day... we were visited by an actual author! Shane Hegarty (author of 'The Shop of Impossible Ice Creams') came into school for a hilarious talk with the children.

Inspired by Shane's visit, middle school spent most of our morning creating our…

In our science lessons we have been exploring how plants reproduce - children learned that a flower was not just a flower, but instead it was made up of lots of smaller parts with lots of different functions.

Children labelled the parts of the flower on their diagrams before having a look at a…

Some of Upper School kindly brought in books they enjoyed when they were younger. Mrs Allen, Mrs Dalton and I particularly loved sharing our memories of reading The Magic Faraway Tree when we were younger! 
 

Thank you for sharing! 

Upper School put their knowledge of children’s authors and books to the test! Well done to Florence, Alfie, Ted and Isaac for reaching podium spots!
