We celebrated world book day today with a book character’s assembly, a reading train, a book quiz and a performance based on The Wizard or Oz by our Genius Hour drama group. As always, a tremendous effort from children and teachers alike and a lovely day sharing our favourite books with each other
And that’s a wrap on our podcast for the Raised on Songs and Stories project. The children have had a fantastic few months learning about their local area with Martin Curley, researching the song, The Vale of Fermoyle and writing, presenting, recording and editing their very own podcast. Here are some photos of the children hard at work. Stay tuned for the finished product coming soon….
As part of our block of procedural writing, the children in the senior room treated us to the recipes for their absolute favourite sandwiches which they prepared and brought to school. With creations ranging from brown sauce to Christmas dinner sandwiches, it was a mouthwatering morning!!
To mark the beginning of Lent and Jesus’s 40 days and nights in the desert the children presented their own creative responses to the story
Shrove Tuesday (Pancake Tuesday) is a joyful day when we make and enjoy sweet pancakes before the season of Lent begins.
Golden and delicious, our pancakes were topped with syrup, fruit & chocolatemaking the celebration extra special and tasty.
School is closed on Thursday 19th and Friday 20th for mid term break.
Work has commenced on learning about China and the Chinese New Year 2026!
