Over the past week, our Nursery children have been busy engaging in a wide range of exciting activities to support their early development in literacy, numeracy, and fine motor skills. We are especially thrilled to share that, for the first time, we have officially launched a brand-new Phonics Area in Nursery! While phonics has long been part of our practice, this dedicated space marks an exciting step forward in supporting the early literacy skills of our Nursery pupils. The response from the pupils has been nothing short of amazing — they absolutely love the new area and the interactive activities linked to our Sound of the Week. 

This week, our school was delighted to host a Stay and Read session for our wonderful parents, guardians, and carers. The event provided a fantastic opportunity for families to spend quality time in the classroom, reading alongside their children and sharing the joy of books. Classrooms were filled with warmth, laughter, and the gentle hum of turning pages as adults joined their children for a special reading time. From picture books to early readers, everyone was fully engaged and enjoying the power of stories together. It was heart-warming to see so many families taking part, and the excitement on the pupils’ faces. These shared moments not only help build a love of reading but also strengthen the connection between home and school. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us — your presence made the day truly special!

On Thursday 19th June 2025, Year 5 Pretoria proudly presented their class assembly on ‘The Tudors’. The pupils showcased their knowledge and enthusiasm for this fascinating period in history through engaging presentations, dramatic performances and creative displays. They explored key figures, important events and daily life during the Tudor era, bringing history to life for their classmates and teachers. Well done to all the pupils for their hard work and confidence in delivering
such an informative and entertaining assembly!

In their art lessons, Year 3 Brasilia have been diving into the world of Roman mosaics—a perfect cross-curricular link to their History topic on the Romans. The children explored what mosaics are, how they were made in ancient times, and the significance they held in Roman culture. After researching and designing their own patterns, the pupils used small pieces of coloured paper to create their very own mosaic masterpieces. It was a hands-on, creative experience that brought their historical learning to life—and they had so much fun doing it!

On Thursday 15th May 2025, our school proudly took part in Wear It Green Day as part of Mental Health Awareness Week. Pupils and staff came together wearing green to show support for mental health and to help raise awareness about the importance of wellbeing. It was a simple yet powerful way to start meaningful conversations and promote kindness, understanding, and self-care across our school community.
