Bus Expert and Visit

21st January 2026Joshua Meade

This morning, we had a special visitor in EYFS… not only was he a bus driver with a double decker bus, but he was one of our parents! Thank you to Jack and First Travel f. or visiting us today. The children learnt about what a bus driver does, how the bus moves safely, what journeys the buses go on. Then we got to explore the bus and sing songs! This was some children’s first time on a bus and they were so excited! #LovePlover

This morning we have been lucky enough to have a visit from Otis’ dad, Jack, who is a bus driver. Jack brought his bus for us to have a look around and told us all about his job. It was so exciting!

LKS2 Times Tables Meeting

19th January 2026Mrs Graves

Thank you to those parents who were able to attend tonight’s meeting about the Year 4 Multiplication Check and how to support your child with time tables.

Here are the slides that contain the links to some of the suggested sites.

If you would like your child to come to the Year 3 and 4 Times Tables Booster Sessions on Wednesday mornings at 8:20am, please complete the Google form so we can pop them onto the register. They don’t have to attend every week, but it gives us an idea of numbers for the breakfast snacks we provide. Booster sessions will be starting next week on Wednesday 28th January. Please bring your child to reception.

African drumming – Playing djembes

19th January 2026Mrs Price

We had a lovely time this morning playing djembes. We watched some videos of African people playing djembes. We explored different rhythms and the sounds that they could make. The children then played as they sang nursery rhymes.

Playground Markings Expert Visitor

18th January 2026Joshua Meade

On Friday we had Dave from Uni Play visit F2 to talk about playground markings, how they’re made, showed lots of designs, spoke about what machines are used and answered lots of questions our children had. We then went on a journey around our school playgrounds to test out some old playground markings, shared ideas of what the children would like and then we created our own. #LovePlover
