KS1 Enjoys a Football-Themed Lunch!

17th June 2026Samantha Taylor

Today, our KS1 children enjoyed a fantastic football-themed lunch as we celebrated England’s first game taking place tonight!

The dining hall was filled with excitement as pupils tucked into a special menu inspired by the beautiful game. Football anthems played throughout lunchtime, creating a fun and lively atmosphere, and many of the children couldn’t resist getting up for a dance with their friends. There was lots of singing, smiling and excitement as everyone got into the football spirit.

It was wonderful to see so many happy faces enjoying the occasion together. We hope everyone enjoys watching the match tonight and joins us in cheering on England.

Come on England!

Science: Growth and Development

16th June 2026Betty Ramsay

Crew Ramsay have worked hard to create a ‘Guess The Baby’ gallery in our hall! We did a gallery walk where we looked at the baby pictures and observed the babies to see if any felt familiar. Then we filled in a class sheet guessing which baby is which child. We noticed that although we grow and change, some things stay the same such as eye shape and distinguishing features. We were also shocked at how different some of us looked as we had changed a LOT!

Today, Crew McLoughlin stepped into the role of a newspaper journalist to create bold and exciting headlines. The Crew showed great creativity and understanding of the novel. This engaging activity helped develop reporting and summarising skills while bringing the story to life in a fun and imaginative way. Well done, Crew, for producing eye-catching headlines worthy of the front page!

Embracing Change: From Chrysalis to Secondary School

15th June 2026Laura Godley

Today, Crew Godley explored the concept of transformation through the chrysalis stage of a butterfly’s life cycle. We learned that, although a chrysalis appears still on the outside, significant internal change is taking place. We linked this idea to their own transition to secondary school.

We discussed how change is not always visible and that feeling unsettled or unsure is a normal part of growth. We then sorted visible changes and internal feelings associated with moving to a new school, before reflecting on the positive habits they want to develop as they prepare for this next stage.

Exploring 3D shapes

14th June 2026Megan Gray

In Maths, we explored 3D shapes and learned about their properties. We looked at faces, vertices and edges and practised counting them on different shapes.

By the end of the lesson, we were more confident identifying and describing 3D shapes using mathematical vocabulary.
