What a fantastic way to celebrate the end of the week! A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our Summer BBQ on Friday. It was a wonderful afternoon filled with delicious food, fun and games, smiles, laughter, and plenty of community spirit. The children were especially excited to meet Mickey and Minnie, who made the day even more magical! Thank you to our amazing PTA, staff, volunteers, and families for helping to make the event such a success. We hope everyone had a wonderful time making special summer memories together.
Kingfishers Class had a wonderful time at Forest School, exploring nature, creating mud kitchen recipes and magical potions, hunting for mini beasts and grasshoppers, and enjoying pond dipping where they spotted tadpoles and froglets. What a fantastic outdoor learning adventure! #forestschool #outdoorlearning #activelearningschool

Year 1 Pupil-Led Liturgy This week, our Year 1 children proudly led a special liturgy focused on God's love and how we can show love and kindness to others in our daily lives. It was wonderful to welcome parents to join us in prayer and reflection. As part of the liturgy, families wrote thoughtful prayers for our Prayer Tree, creating a beautiful display filled with messages of love, hope, and gratitude. The children showed great confidence and reverence as they shared their learning and led the worship. Thank you to all the parents and carers who joined us and helped make the experience so meaningful. "Let all that you do be done in love." – 1 Corinthians 16:14 #PupilLedLiturgy #Year1 #GodsLove #PrayerTree #CatholicLife
Father's Day Craft Stay and Play Morning What a lovely morning our Cygnets had celebrating with their grown-ups! The children enjoyed helping to make their very own Rainbow Fish, inspired by one of our favourite stories this half term. They also had lots of fun decorating a Baa Baa Black Sheep craft to take home. To make the morning extra special, the children proudly sang "10 Fat Sausages" for their grown-ups and shared our morning prayer together. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the morning so memorable. We loved seeing the children sharing their creations and spending quality time with their special adults. #FathersDay #Cygnets #EarlyYears #RainbowFish #nurserylife
Happy National Numeracy Day! We've had such a lovely day celebrating all things maths! The children came dressed up and explored how maths is used in real life and in different careers. We also became maths investigators for the day with some fun zoo animal challenges How many children could fit inside an elephant's footprint? Can we jump as far as a kangaroo? Which animal is the tallest? Who can measure the longest leap? So much fun, learning and teamwork all while building confidence with numbers! #nationalnumeracyday
