We are creators!
Our spelling bee champions!
We are so proud of all of our Year 5 & 6 pupils who have all shown so much courage during this week’s spelling bee. So many of our lovely pupils have been practising their spellings and this was evident this week.
Pictured above are our fantastic finalists who truly deserved their prizes.
Keep practising those spellings everyone. We are already so excited for our Christmas spelling bee and we have lots more amazing prizes to be won!

Y2 Football Semi Finalists
Our student ambassadors met a special visitor all the way from Australia!
Our student ambassadors had the pleasure of showing Natasha, all the way from Australia, around our lovely school. They loved talking about crew and expedition and sharing beautiful work that their fellow peers produce every day.
Well done ambassadors!

F1 Indian Dance Workshop
F1 really enjoyed their Indian dance workshop this afternoon. Our amazing expert, Lucy, taught us lots about Diwali and helped us learn a beautiful Indian dancing routine. We then got to try on some Indian clothing ready to perform!
