M + M Productions Visit Our School

On Friday, we were delighted to welcome M + M Productions to our school to perform the classic story The Railway Children.

The performance was fantastic, and the whole school thoroughly enjoyed it. The actors brought the story to life and encouraged lots of audience participation. Our Hub children especially loved getting involved, singing, dancing, and joining in with the fun.

Thank you to M + M Productions for such an enjoyable and memorable experience!

KS1 Visiting Chicks

Our KS1 children had a wonderful experience during their recent visit to see the chicks. The children were excited to have the opportunity to hold a young chick.

A big thank you to everyone in Crew Godley for making the visit so enjoyable and memorable. The children returned to their classroom full of excitement.

Cheese Quesadillas

The children thoroughly enjoyed making cheese quesadillas during Life Skills today and were so enthusiastic about the activity that many asked for more. They practised their food preparation skills by cutting a tortilla wrap in half, adding grated cheese, and folding it over before it was carefully fried for a few minutes on each side. The children were engaged throughout the process and enjoyed tasting their finished quesadillas.

Baby Pictures! 👶

In expedition, we were identifying how animals change as they grow, including us! Thank you to everyone who was able to bring their baby pictures in and share them with the class – including teachers! We had lots of fun looking at our younger selves and explaining how we have changed over time.
