• Reception Balance Bike session

  Fri 25 Jun 2021

  Today, we were joined by Reception parents/carers to help their children learn how to ride a bike! Children focused on improving their balance on the school balance bikes and on being able to glide on the bikes. Some of the children even managed to use pedals to ride their bike over a further distance! 

   

  Thank you to all the parents who attended, we hope you enjoyed the session!

   

  

• Diversity Week

  Fri 18 Jun 2021

  We have had such a wonderful week celebrating Diversity Week!

  In order to deepen understanding and awareness of other countries from around the world, each year group studied a set country and role models that represent that country!

   

  Each year group learnt about role models from their set country; learnt the meaning and context behind the country’s flag and when the country became independent; completed a writing task linked to their country or a role model; cooked a national dish; and created lovely work for a hall display.

   

  Today, children were invited to come into school dressed in traditional clothing or clothing that represents their family culture. Take a look at some of our photos!
