International Day for children: We are excited to be holding our International Day for Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. This special day is all about exploring and celebrating the diverse cultures and countries that make up our wonderful world. Throughout the day, the children will take part in a variety of engaging activities, moving between classrooms to experience different ‘countries’. These sessions will include fun facts, cultural traditions, music, art and more – all designed to broaden understanding and appreciation of global diversity. Each child will also receive a special “passport” to take with them as they travel around, collecting stamps, stickers or drawings from each country they visit. We’re looking forward to a vibrant and inspiring day of global discovery.
Family Friday Session: We look forward to welcoming parents and carers to our Family Friday Session for you to learn alongside your child.
Attendance: Whole school attendance this week was 95.96%. Well done to Apple Class who were the class winners for attendance with an amazing 99.2%.

Times Tables Rock Star and Number Day
Fri 25 Apr 2025Today we’ve had an exciting and energetic Times Tables Rock Star (TTRS) and Number Day! The children have had a fantastic time celebrating all things maths – from rocking out in their Times Tables Rock Stars outfits to diving into fun, hands-on number challenges across the school. The enthusiasm and creativity shown by the children (and staff!) has been wonderful to see. Whether they were solving tricky puzzles, competing in friendly times tables battles or showing off their best rock star looks, everyone embraced the spirit of the day with joy and determination.
Thank you for your support with costumes, encouragement and helping make maths feel fun and meaningful for our learners. Days like today help build confidence and a love for learning.
