Our Digital Leaders finished off their year with an assembly to the school about having a digital detox and the problems that can arise if children are on line for too long. Mrs Cox and the digital leaders work tirelessly all year to make sure our children stay safe on line, teaching them about digital footprints and online safety.
On Friday 18th July, Reception and Nursery held a teddy bears picnic. This was happening on the field until the heavens opened and the picnic was relocated inside. The children still had a great time.
The school has gained the Silver Green Tree Award from the Woodland Trust. To gain the award our Eco warriors have planted trees, completed a litter pick and set up a recycling system in classrooms and in the lunch hall. They also presented an assembly to the school about recycling. Throughout the school, pupils learn about the importance of plants and trees and visit places where they learn about the environment.
We have lots of plans next year and will be taking part in the Woodland Trust Green 15 Challenge. The challenge marks 15 years of the Green Schools Project and we will be doing lots of activities to spread the word about the importance of trees and nature to gain our Gold Award!

On Monday 14th July, we learnt about Bastille Day as part of our Global Events Calendar. The children all started the day with a Parisian breakfast of croissants and hot chocolate and went on to learn about what Bastile Day is. They completed activities such as art activities with Monet and Suerat as a stimulus, learning about landmarks, the main cities, french food and the language. The children came dressed in the colours of The Tricolour, or as waiters and waitresses for our cafe. Everyone had a marvellous day.
PC Mike, our local PCSO, visited the school to speak to the Year 5 and 6 children about the dangers of e scooters and bikes. We are very aware of the risks that these create and want to make sure our pupils are safe out on the roads.
We were absolutely blown away with our pupils who got through to the final round of our school talent show on Friday 11th July. The acts were incredible. We had singers, dancers, a drummer, a guitarist, a pianist, a glockenspeil group, a horse riding acrobat, magicians and comedians. It really was a majestic dispay of the talent in our school and every single child who performed impressed the judges. We did decide on some incredible winners but it was very difficult to choose from the array of talent on the stage. Thank you to all of the pupils for the hours of practice you put in.
On Wednesday 9th July, the reception children took part in the Foundation Stage Graduation. Many parents attended and the children sang beautifully and told everyone all about their learning in the Foundation Stage. We were all so proud of them and impressed with their performance on the stage. Thank you to all the parents that attended.
Our Year 5s had a special day on Monday 7th July, with their Graduation Ceremony. Many parents attended and the pupils performed songs and readings to celebrate them moving from Year 5 to Year 6 and gaining their purple jumpers. The purple jumpers give the pupils a sense of pride and reponsibilty as the eldest year group in the school. Thank you to all the parents who attended. Please watch a video of the pupils singing and signing on Twitter.
