Hello Yellow Day 2026

Our school was a sea of yellow as we came together to raise awareness of mental health and well-being! The children proudly wore yellow, created peer support pledges and doodled things that make them happy. Together, we celebrated kindness, friendship and the importance of supporting one another, reminding everyone that it’s okay not to be okay.

Keyboard

The children have been developing their musical skills, learning to read musical notation and mastering the basics of playing the keyboard. It’s wonderful to see their confidence grow as they bring music to life, one note at a time!

GYMNASTICS

We have been working with our gymnastics coach to create our very own routines! The children have been developing their coordination, balance and teamwork skills while building confidence, trying new challenges and having lots of fun along the way.

Children in Need 2025

We thoroughly enjoyed taking part in the Spotacular Children in Need 2025 celebrations! The classroom was bursting with colour as everyone arrived in their brightest spotty outfits. The children showed wonderful enthusiasm, kindness, and creativity—making it a truly spotacular day for a fantastic cause!

Hello Yellow Day 2025

Our school came together to celebrate mental health awareness in style! Students proudly rocked their vibrant yellow clothing and personalised badges, sparking important conversations about the importance of mental well-being. Together, we’re shining a light on mental health—because it’s okay to not be okay, and it’s always okay to ask for help!

Mini Medics Course

Our young lifesavers took part in a fantastic Mini Medics session, where they learned vital first aid skills—including how to put someone in the recovery position, perform CPR and respond in emergency situations. A big step towards building confidence, responsibility and the power to help others!

Keyboard Lessons

We are having a fantastic time this term with our keyboard lessons under the guidance of Mr. Storey. He’s been introducing them to essential playing techniques and helping them understand key musical notation, setting the foundation for confident and expressive playing.

The Invisible by Tom Percival

As part of our Thrive activities, the children explored The Invisible by Tom Percival, a heartwarming story about kindness, belonging, and seeing the invisible people in our communities. Through thoughtful discussion and creative writing, they stepped into the shoes of the characters, writing in role to explore different perspectives and emotions. The children also created beautiful gratitude jars, filling them with notes about the things—big and small—they are thankful for, just like Isabel learns to appreciate the world around her. Finally, they wrote diary entries in role as Isabel, reflecting on her journey from feeling unseen to finding her place in the world. It was a wonderful opportunity to connect emotionally with the story, celebrate empathy, and recognise the importance of gratitude and community.
