Supporting our whole school crew charity- RSPCA.

23rd September 2025Miss Blackham

Staff supported the RSPCA- our whole school charity by engaging in acts of service.

‘We are crew, not passengers strengthened by acts of consequential service to others’ Kurt Hahn.

We know this will be the start of something special and we can’t wait to continue to support such a special charity.

Party Games – F2M Democracy

18th September 2025Joshua Meade

Our key text this week has been ‘It’s My Birthday’. Yesterday, the children were able to work collaboratively to sequence the animals and match the ingredients they used to make a birthday cake. Today, we discussed how people are different and like different things. We talked about different birthday presents and which party games we like. We voted and created a bar chart. It was lovely to see the children continue the party games in provision! #LovePlover

Demonstrating the character trait courage!

18th September 2025Miss Blackham

These superstars have all demonstrated courage this week. Some children have been courageous and stood at the front of the class to show their working out to some of our tricky maths questions, some children have shown courage and took on the lead role in our arithmetic coaching lesson and one child was very courageous and used his voice to remind his friends they were making the wrong choices.

“Courage is the main quality of leadership, in my opinion no matter where it is exercised” — Walt Disney
