A Lovely Moment 📚✨

1st February 2026Hannah McLoughlin

This week, a Year 4 pupil popped in to show me her independent writing and I couldn’t have been more pleased. I’m not her class teacher, but I do teach her reading, which made it extra special.

She explained how our reading lessons inspired her writing and it was lovely to see her making those links all by herself. It really shows her growing confidence and love of learning.

Miss McLoughlin is so proud of the effort and enthusiasm she’s shown. Moments like this really do make our day!

Well done – keep up the brilliant work! 🌟

Children’s Air Ambulance Visit

20th January 2026Nicola Robson

Today we were very lucky to have a visit from volunteers Sandy and Trevor from the Children’s Air Ambulance. They shared lots of facts about how the air ambulance works and how their missions save the lives of children and babies who need urgent care. Did you know it costs £5500 each time the ambulance is launched!

In Year 4, pupils have been working really hard to edit their writing during ‘Fix It’ sessions. We have been using the acronym CUPS to support with the process. Well done Crew Colclough!

In Crew Colclough, we have participated in a chocolate tasting master class. Pupils were given three different types of chocolate to taste. They used their senses to describe. We are excited to start our new expedition ‘From Bean to Bar’.

Experience Day

5th January 2026Shannon Colclough

In Crew Colclough, we have completed our experience day to engage us in our new writing unit. We tasted red beans, maize and corn tortillas. The Ancient Maya diet consisted mainly of these foods. Crew Colclough demonstrated courage by trying new foods. We also created our own Mayan masks and explored why they were used.

Today in writing, Year 4 have been publishing their letters to Marcus at Murton Park. By the end of the day, they will be sealed and ready to send. We have worked so hard ensuring that we keep our letters formal. Well done for some great writing Crew Colclough!

LKS2 Christmas Treat!

As a Christmas treat, LKS2 stayed late at school for a Christmas movie night. They brought in their Christmas pyjamas, cuddly toys, pillows and blankets. Teachers also prepared popcorn and hot chocolates for pupils to enjoy whilst watching the film. We hope you all had a lovely time!
