Fri 19 Jun 2026Year 3 have had a lovely week and have really enjoyed the afternoons. We are so proud of how they coped with their first sports day with us and the resilient attitudes we saw from them. They have worked hard to understand relationships between friends and what can be done to support these, through our PSHE topic. The children are also really coming along with their understanding of time. Our Asia unit in Geography is now being supported by our English unit, in which we are writing travel brochures. The children have become really excited about what they know and an opportunity to use it.

Fri 12 Jun 2026This week has really had a World Cup feel to it. On Tuesday, we took part in a live Pobble lesson (a writing session) that was all about the World Cup. The children engaged really well and we have had some fantastic pieces of writing from it. Then, today, we went to see the Halle perform a range of songs all linked to the World Cup. It really has put us in the mood.
