Our aim is to create learners who can reflect, question, wonder, think, connect, be self-aware and be determined. We aim to move towards this by providing opportunities for the children to build knowledge, make meaning and apply understanding. We believe that by doing so we will help children to develop a sense of belonging to and contributing to a better world and ensure that they can think well and feel well.

World Book Day in Year 6
Year 6 had a brilliant time celebrating World Book Day with a range of activities focused on sharing and enjoying books.
To start the day, the classroom was filled with lots of different book characters. Each pupil had the opportunity to introduce themselves in character, pretending to be the character from their book. The class asked them questions so they could tell us more about themselves, the book they are from, and what happens in their story. They also explained why they would recommend their book to others. It was fantastic to see how confidently everyone spoke and how well they understood their characters and stories.
Later, we played a game of Book Bingo. Working with a partner, pupils had to find books they had read that matched different categories on the bingo board. Some of the categories included finding a book that was funny, based on a true story, or a book that was about friendship. This encouraged lots of discussion as pupils shared the books they had read and talked about their favourite stories.
Overall, it was a really enjoyable day that celebrated reading and gave everyone the chance to share books they love with their classmates.
Happy World Book Day!
Understanding Geometry in Year 2
This week Year 2 learnt that 2D shapes can be joined together to make 3D shapes! We identified that a cuboid is made up of rectangular and square faces. We particularly enjoyed folding our own 3D shapes out of paper. We predicted beforehand what shape we were going to construct based on the faces our net had.

World Book day: a lovely tradition continues in Reception!
For World Book Day, our school continued its long-standing tradition of older children reading with the younger classes. This year, Reception welcomed visitors from Year 5, who spent time reading a selection of books with them.
Many of the Year 5 children remembered being in the same Reception classroom themselves just a few years ago. They were pleased to return as more confident readers and share stories with the younger children.
World Book Day in Year 5
