🦒 Year 1 Zoo Adventure! 🐧

Our Year 1 children had a fantastic adventure during their visit to Twycross Zoo. The children were full of excitement as they explored the zoo and saw some truly amazing animals, including giraffes, gorillas and penguins.

It was wonderful to see their curiosity and enthusiasm as they learned more about the animals and their habitats, as well as enjoying the chance to explore somewhere new with their friends.

A huge thank you to our amazing staff and our fantastic parent volunteers who helped make the trip possible and ensured the children had such a memorable experience.

We are so proud of how brilliantly the children represented our school – they were curious, respectful and a real credit to us all! 🌟

🌊 Year 6 Pupils Achieve Rookie Lifeguard Qualification 🏅

We were delighted to be invited to take part in a trial project alongside Chichester University, giving our pupils the opportunity to develop vital water safety and lifesaving skills through the Rookie Lifeguard programme.

During a series of after-school sessions, the children learned how to help someone in difficulty in the water, CPR, and how to place someone in the recovery position – invaluable skills that could one day help save a life.

We are incredibly proud that 26 of our Year 6 pupils achieved their Level 3 Rookie Lifeguard qualification. They were each presented with certificates, badges and a towelling robe to recognise their fantastic achievement.

A huge thank you to Mrs Howl, part of our Sports team, and Debbie Weston (RLSS UK Rookie Instructor and Assessor) for their expertise and support throughout the programme. We would also like to thank Sarah Don for joining our Dream Big, Shine Bright assembly to present the children with their certificates and robes.

Well done to all of the children involved – you have shown fantastic commitment, maturity and teamwork. We are very proud of you all! 👏

A huge thank you to Kyle and his team at Bidford Landscapes for building this amazing outdoor classroom for us. It looks fantastic and will be such a valuable addition to our OPAL play provision as well as supporting outdoor learning.

We’d also like to say a massive thank you to Jason at MKM Leamington for generously donating the materials, and to Andy at S.E. Davis & Son Ltd for kindly donating the bark.

Your generosity and support have helped create a wonderful space for our children to learn, play and explore outdoors. We are incredibly grateful! Bidford Landscapes MKM Building Supplies SE Davies & Sons Astwood Bank

Today, as part of Science Week, we set the Year 2 children a challenge: to design and construct a bridge that would hold weight. They absolutely loved it. The winning bridge could hold 1900 grams.

World Book Day – A Celebration of Vocabulary!

This year for World Book Day, we put a special focus on developing our love of vocabulary. Children and staff were invited to come dressed as an adjective and they certainly didn’t disappoint!

We had a wonderfully fragrant, very sleepy, truly magical, extremely bouncy and even some very reflective characters walking our corridors (just to name a few!).

The day ended with a very funny Vocabulary Parade, where everyone had the chance to show off their creative costumes and celebrate the power of words together.

Well done to everyone for their creativity and enthusiasm, and thank you to families for your continued support in helping make days like this so special. What a truly word-tastic day!

The forecast may be promising a little more rain , but we’ve already had some lovely peeps of sunshine — and just in case… we’ve got the boat ready!

Whatever the weather brings, we hope you enjoy some rest, fun and special time together.

Our Reception children had a lovely visit to St Nicholas church today to learn all about weddings, as part of our 'Celebrations'topic

They enjoyed exploring the church, learning about what happens during a wedding ceremony, and talking about why weddings are special. The children had great fun acting out a wedding themselves! Everyone took on a very important role and joined in beautifully!

A wonderful experience, they did us proud

🌟 Dream Big, Shine Bright! 🌟

We are incredibly proud to share that one of our Reception children is the winner of the Warwickshire Road Safety competition! 🚗✨

Her fantastic poster design, encouraging everyone to “Park Safely”, was chosen as the winning entry and has now been turned into a real road safety sign, which we will proudly display at the front of our school. What an amazing achievement at such a young age! 👏🎨

A huge thank you to Kate from Warwickshire Road Safety for joining us at today’s Dream Big, Shine Bright celebration and helping us recognise this brilliant success.

Well done — we couldn’t be prouder! 💛⭐

🐼 Panda Club Competition Winners! 🐼

We’re delighted to celebrate the winners of our Panda Club competition! 🌿

Children across the school were encouraged by our fantastic Year 6 Panda Club members to create a poster or fact file all about pandas and the challenges they face. We were blown away by the number of entries and the effort, creativity and care shown by everyone who took part.

The winners have now been announced and were presented with a Panda-themed goodie bag, independently designed and created by the Panda Club themselves – a brilliant example of leadership, teamwork and initiative.

Well done to all who entered, and a huge thank you to our Year 6 Panda Club for inspiring others and championing such an important cause 🐾💚
