Year 2 have been creating their own dance inspired by Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers 📖✨
They have been working on an 8-count focusing on building and repairing the boat, using movement to show teamwork, effort and care 🚤💛
A lovely mix of storytelling, creativity and dance!
Today, Miss Branagh spent some time teaching the Primary SCITT students about maths, with a little help from Bear 🐶📐✨
Bear was very supportive… right up until he decided it was nap time and got bored of maths 💤😄
Even teaching assistants need a rest! 💛
🐶💼 Bear is back at work! 💼🐶
After 4 weeks off, our favourite furry colleague has returned and everyone is very happy to see him… but not as happy as Bear himself 🥰
There have already been lots of smiles, cuddles and tail wags today.
Bear will also be having his official return-to-work interview with Mrs Bartlett later — got to keep things professional 😉🐾
We’re so glad to have you back, Bear 💛

A great hands-on learning moment in Year 6 today 🐜🌿
Amber brought in her stick insects to share with the class while we’ve been learning about the Amazon rainforest! It was a brilliant opportunity for the children to observe them up close and make real links to our geography work.
Thank you, Amber, for bringing them in 👏
✨ Fantastic sewing skills from our Year 1s! 🧵🪡
Today our children showed off the amazing puppets they designed and made in DT. They stitched every piece themselves and had an absolutely brilliant time bringing their ideas to life.
We are so proud of their creativity, resilience and super sewing skills — just look at those smiles! 🧸🌟
