It was the turn of Robin Class to visit St Aldhelm's Church for their Spiritual Retreat. They started with a slow, mindful, noticing walk and then enjoyed a fantastic active worship with Reverend Gill exploring Pentecost. They finished by making their Pentecost Crowns and finally delicious squash and cake too!
A fantastic day for our athletes who participated in the @Panathlon Inclusive Sports. 💚Belief🏃♂️Aspiration💛
Reception Robins travelled to Carymoor Environmental Centre for a fantastic day of Minibeast Madness!
Our sensory Wellbeing Garden has taken an enormous step forward today. The Advocacy Group, who are trained Wellbeing Champions, shared their designs and Etavoni brought them to life. Luke Tupper from Etavoni has been fantastic at taking the children's designs and creating these wonderful pieces for the whole school to enjoy. We are excited about using the new space and developing it further with plants as the next addition.
🐑 We always look forward to the annual visit from Mrs Bevan, this year along with Galaxy and Ethel, the lambs. 💚🐑💛
We are so proud of our amazing Year 6 children who tackled their SATs last week with a calm, positive confidence. They enjoyed snacks galore this week and a fantastic afternoon in the Glebeland forest playing Capture the Flag! 💚Belief💛
We are delighted that we have received the approval and funding to open our nursery/pre-school. Work will be starting over half-term to uplift Oak Room first before builders move in to the main school to create an Early Years Area in the existing library and staff room. We are still finalising our exact offer for September but are thrilled that we already have children signing-up! We will keep you updated with all developments as the project evolves.
We held another amazing Science Fair with such variety shown.
