Y6 residential day 2 The children have had a brilliant, jam-packed day filled with activities, adventure and, most of all, fun! After a bright and early start, they enjoyed breakfast before getting started with activities. They have completed four activities during the day, which have included, kayaking, tomahawk throwing, archery, crate stacking, trapeze, buggy building, go-karting and outdoor cooking, and they were still raring to go for their evening activity. It has been wonderful to see the children having so much fun, being brave, encouraging each other and most of all, making incredible memories for their final weeks with us. Here's just a snapshot of our day - we'll be sharing more photos when we return! #DREAM

Today we welcomed Year 2 pupils from Arden Grove Infant & Nursery School to come and try OPAL with our Year 3 pupils. It was wonderful for the children to reconnect with old friends and make new ones too. We hope the children enjoyed the visit - we think they are excited as we are about our new OPAL lunchtime play provision! We also hope that it has helped them to feel positive about their next step up to junior school and look forward to seeing them soon for their transition days. Thanks to the Year 6 pupils who created this welcome message for the children to see on their way to the playground today

Y6 residential day 1 This week, our Year 6 pupils are excited to go on their residential trip. In just a few hours of being there, the pupils have thrown themselves into their first challenges with great enthusiasm. While some have travelled on the cave bus, others have tested their skills with tomahawk throwing, and another group has worked together on a buggy-building challenge. It has been fantastic to see the children embracing new experiences, supporting one another and celebrating each other's successes. Their teamwork, encouragement and positive attitudes have been wonderful to see. We have one more activity to enjoy before dinner, and everyone is looking forward to what the rest of the evening has in store!

Year 5 and 6 Bookbugs and Dragons workshops Last week, our Year 5 and Year 6 children enjoyed an engaging workshop led by Ashton, organised by Bookbugs and Dragon Tales in Norwich. As a playwright and actor, Ashton encouraged the children to explore the theme of diversity through storytelling, discussion and drama. The workshop centred around the inspiring book 'Look Up!' by Nathan Bryon and Dapo Adeola. During circle time, Ashton shared the story and discussed how the main character reflects the author's desire to see people like himself represented in books. The children then took part in a range of drama activities, including freeze frames and interactive games based on the story, helping them to deepen their understanding of its themes and messages. To conclude the session, the children designed and created their own inspirational bookmarks to take home. It was a thoughtful and enjoyable workshop that encouraged creativity, reflection and an appreciation of diversity.
