As the new Head of School, I have really enjoyed meeting so many of the children, visiting the classrooms and sharing our hopes for the new year though our first assembly. I even had an impromptu question and answer session with Year 5 and 6, who had some fantastic ideas for school improvements. It has been wonderful to see everyone settling

It’s a wrap! And just like that, it’s time for the summer holidays. We’ve had some brilliant things going on this week. On Monday, we started the week with our Leaver’s Service.

Hazel class took the opportunity to read in unusual places on pyjama day. They also loved their water play with Mr Griggs.

It's been another jam-packed week of exciting events. Hazel class have wowed us all with their amazing performances of, 'The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse.' Their singing and acting was fantastic, and the production shared very moving messages- being kind is the most important thing, you are enough just as you are, don't compare yourself to anyone else and home is where your friends and family are. It was hard to find dry eyes in the house as the performance took place

Hazel class planted seeds in different recycled containers as part of their science topic. Which ones will grow best? They have also been busy with their learning in the classroom.

We enjoyed the singing, acting, Sonia's beautiful cello playing, being together and of course, the cake!

Today Hazel class put on the most amazing performance of 'The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse. The message of the play is just beautiful, all about being kind to yourself, one another and knowing you are enough. Very moving indeed. The children were wonderful- there was great singing, acting, costumes and everyone looked like they were having a brilliant time. Huge well done Hazel, we are so proud of you all.

Today, we were lucky enough to enjoy a performance from Leo's Dad's band to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Stevie Wonder's album. They treated us all to 3 songs, and even let us play on their instruments! We had such a wonderful time. If you would also like to enjoy listening to this amazing band, they will be putting on a show in September.
