Another fantastic celebration assembly this afternoon. It was so nice to hear about all the amazing work that has gone on this week. Mrs Garr also loved handing out her golden coin for the book vending machine.
Another great thing about schools returning to normality is we can start to have visitors again. We love having Chris Bostock visiting our school as he has an unnatural talent for bringing stories to life, the children were transfixed!
Year 1 really enjoyed their first Commando Joe lesson of the year. This week the children had to transport the “apples” across the bridge to Little Red Riding Hoods grandmas basket. The children huddled up to share ideas with their team and showed super team work and resilience. 🍎
Class 6 have had a fab afternoon completing their first Commando Joe mission of the Autumn Term! 🤩
This is part of their Pocahontas unit and was a great activity to get them started. In teams, we each had to protect our ‘babies’ in our Native American tribe from the English. As Native American mothers, team leaders had to make a sling to carry their babies hands free and lead their team to safety across the treacherous forest. They had to navigate over slippery stepping stones, cross bubbling brooks, trawl under leafy terrain, as well as avoiding any dangerous wildlife.
What an adventure they had! 🧳
Year 3 took part in their first mission to the Amazon this week with Commando Joe. This term they are learning about Ed Stafford and how he walked the length of the Amazon River over two years. They will have to complete tasks each week which require them to show the same skills Ed will have used when he was on his journey.
We had an amazing day on Monday dressing up as characters from our new Dimensions curriculum launch. The children and staff dressed up as navigators, pathfinders, adventurers or explorers. It was a great fun day to launch a curriculum that we are all very passionate about.
⭐️🌟You can’t believe what an amazing feeling it was to be able to hold our first whole school celebration assembly this afternoon. How proud do they all look? Well done to everyone for all their hard work this week, especially so for our superstars. ⭐️🌟
This afternoon Year 4 completed a Commando Joe activity where they had to work as a team to transfer water from a bucket to a jug at the other side of the yard. The children really enjoyed it and showed great teamwork skills!
What an amazing day! It’s been so good having all the children back in and the school being able to operate normally again. We’ve had gymnastics, literacy, vocabulary work, tower building, daily mile, a full assembly and lots of fun. It’s going to be a good year.

Dear Parents/Carers,
In September, we are excited as a school to be starting a brand new Curriculum called ‘Learning Means The World’.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
On Monday 13th September we will be having a Launch Day and to celebrate this, your child can come into school dressed just like an explorer, or path finder, or adventurer or navigator!
This could be something as simple as them wearing their own clothes with a pair of binoculars/magnifying glass/ map to accessorise or they could even wear a exploration costume. Whatever works for you, you choose!
‘Learning Means the World’ is a curriculum that promotes independence, creativity and curiosity to help our pupils become collaborators, innovators and leaders.
At the heart of our curriculum are four core themes known as ‘The 4Cs.’
Our curriculum aims to give our children the knowledge, skills and experiences to equip them to become happy, confident and capable in an ever-changing world. They will learn about places, people and events through hands on, fun and engaging learning opportunities; Whilst developing confidence, resilience and collaborative skills.
It’s going to be exciting!
Thank you
Miss Swales
Curriculum Lead
