A huge thank you to our amazing Reception team for delivering such an informative and inspiring information evening for our Reception families last night!

Parents and carers got a real insight into:

A typical day in Reception

Practical ways to support at home with maths, reading and phonics

And every family left with a goodie bag of resources to help their child’s learning at home.

We are so grateful to our staff for all the hard work and preparation that went into making the evening such a success , and to our families for joining us with such enthusiasm and positivity.

Together, by working in partnership, we can achieve the very best outcomes for our children

ears 3 and 4 have partied hard and rocked their times table at our Times Tables Rock Stars Day. Battles have been won, challenges have been met and response times have improved.

Now the real challenge begins- spend 10 minutes every day on the TT Rock Stars app and turn your heat map green!

🌍🪨 Year 3 kicked off their new science topic on Rocks with a fantastic visit from Dr Dale!

The children explored the three main types of rock – sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous – through hands-on investigations. They built their own pieces of a prehistoric riverbed (where dinosaurs may have become fossils!) and even acted out what it’s like to be volcanic magma erupting. 🔥🌋

A brilliant, engaging start to our science learning! ✨

What a super first two weeks back!
