Pandas and Koalas have enjoyed their first ever Nursery Assembly based on the story “There’s a Monster in your book”. 

There was plenty of singing and dancing, building their confidence and self-esteem. They performed amazingly using their own initiative. We are all so proud of our Nursery children. Well done!

1FN proudly showcased Matilda this week. The assembly was filled with laughter and lots of fun! The children performed some fantastic songs and dances, bringing great energy to the stage. They acted out the story beautifully, capturing the spirit of the movie so well. We are incredibly proud of them all.

Celebrating 100 years of Sir David Attenborough

Our school proudly took part in the celebration of Sir David Attenborough’s 100th birthday in partnership with BBC Radio Leicester as part of the “Our Planet, Our Pledge” initiative. The whole school was involved, enjoying a wide range of activities throughout the day.

Activities included a scavenger hunt at the local park, collecting leaves, discovering new plants and flowers, listening to birds, and exploring insects on leaves and trees. The children also enjoyed creative activities such as making bird houses and nature crowns. They learned about the life and work of Sir David Attenborough and why he is a national treasure who continues to inspire us to care for our world.

The children thoroughly enjoyed the day, exploring, creating, and learning, and found the experience truly magical. The activities covered many areas of the curriculum, including science, DT, history, art, and geography. Most importantly, the day showed the children that learning about our planet is fun and highlighted how important it is to look after it.

As a school, we are committed to caring for the environment. We use compost bins for fruit and vegetable waste, take part in daily litter picking to keep our school tidy, and have a nature area where Forest School sessions take place. Here, children explore plants and learn how to create a better environment for wildlife.

Overall, the day was a huge success. We wish Sir David Attenborough a very happy 100th birthday and thank him for inspiring us all.

Year 1 had a fantastic trip to Tropical Birdland this week! They enjoyed a woodland walk where they saw a variety of birds from around the world, as well as some adorable meerkats. Many of the children showed great bravery by holding both large and small birds. They also had a lovely picnic outdoors with their friends, followed by plenty of fun playing in the park.

The children were exceptionally well behaved and represented our school beautifully—we are so proud of you, Year 1!

The Seahorses class delighted everyone with their wonderful production of Pinocchio. Through their performance, the children explored the importance of honesty and how this links closely to our school rules of being kind, safe and respectful.
The children confidently used their communication and language skills to learn and perform their lines, retell the story and express emotions through their characters. Singing and dancing highlighted their physical development as well as their creativity within expressive arts and design.
Working together helped the children build strong personal, social and emotional development, showing teamwork, turn‑taking and growing confidence on stage. Storytelling and character recognition supported literacy, while sequencing the story and understanding performance cues linked to early mathematical thinking.
By exploring the story of Pinocchio, the children also developed their understanding of the world, reflecting on right and wrong and how our choices affect others.
Well done, Seahorses, for such an amazing performance!

We had a fantastic time celebrating our Easter Fun Day at school. The children put in a wonderful effort designing and creating their Easter bonnets, showing great creativity and enthusiasm. They also thoroughly enjoyed taking part in the raffle and the Easter egg hunt, which brought lots of excitement and smiles. It was a joyful day filled with fun, laughter, and memorable moments for everyone involved.

We are so proud of Ayub who has taken part in the BBC 500 words writing stories challenge and received a certificate for his superb story.

The Puffin’s assembly took us back to a time long, long ago when there were Princesses, Wicked Fairies, Princes, Tall, Tall Towers, and Great Big Forests.
They delighted us with their retelling of the Princess who Lived Long, Long Ago and dazzled us with their dancing.
Well done Puffins!
