Nursery Graduation

Congratulations to all the Nursery children for a fantastic graduation. They sang beautifully and all spoke about what job they want to do when they grow up.

Well done Nursery!

Year 4 Bastille Day

Last week year 4 celebrated 14th of July /Bastille Day - A French National Day when France celebrates and remembers the beginning of the French Revolution.

The children learnt some facts about the event and drew a rosette with the national flag of France and its colours.

Year 6 Leavers' Play

The Wizard of Oz

After a few weeks working tirelessly on rehearsals and memorising their lines, it was time for Year 6 to perform their brilliant version of the Wizard of Oz. The children put on a fantastic performance that would rival any West End show and deservedly earned the round of applause by their parents and guardians, as well as the teachers in attendance.


Well done Year 6!

Enrichment Project Y5

This week Year 5 have had the opportunity to choose an enrichment area in which they could choose between Film Making, Cookery or Dance. This was a key opportunity for the children to deepen their understanding of a specific area and work collaboratively in skill based learning.

Year 5 - Macbeth

Year 5 have been rehearsing Macbeth over the past few weeks, we were able to explore our delivery of lines, expression and movement for purpose. We also had a special performance of the Three Little Pigs.

The lesson used collaborative learning, helped the children to memorise their lines for the performance and also helped with confidence building.
