Year 1-Year of Prayer- Mirror Image
This week, as part of the diocesan Year of Prayer, Year 1 took on a prayer challenge called 'Mirror Image.' Each child stood face-to-face with a partner, taking turns to mirror each other's movements. Afterwards, they prayed to Jesus, asking for help to reflect his love, kindness, generosity, and respect by sharing it with others.

Year 5-6 Transition Day
Today, Year 5 enjoyed their transition day as they prepare to move into Year 6. The day was filled with creative and reflective activities to help the children begin thinking about the exciting journey ahead. They started by creating self-portraits, celebrating their individuality and recognising the unique qualities they will bring to Year 6. Next, they designed their own personalised hoodies — a fun and expressive way to mark the beginning of their final year at primary school. Each design reflected their personality, interests and the confidence they’re developing as they grow. Finally, the children designed their own Achievement Jars, filling them with hopes, goals and things they want to accomplish in the coming year — both personal and academic. This thoughtful activity encouraged them to set intentions and aim high, reminding them that Year 6 is not only a time to shine, but also a chance to grow.
Year 6 R.E
Year 6 have been continuing comparing Christianity and other world faiths. This week, the children watched videos and held class discussions about similarities in the way that all of these religions practise their faith. It has been a very interesting topic!
Reception: Muddy Monday
Reception class looked for signs of summer during their Muddy Monday walk to Jacks Key. We found lots of minibeasts, flowers blossoming, butterflies and the sun was shining too!

Transition day- Year 2- 3- Exploring the trim trail and KS2 YARD
Today was an exciting day for the children in Year 2 as they got to experience Year 3. While they won't officially move there until September, they fully experienced what's to come. They absolutely loved their break times, couldn't wait to explore the trim trail and the KS2 yard, and enjoyed talking with their siblings. It was a wonderful day of living life to the fullest, getting ready for all the fun in Year 3.
Year 4 Transition Day to Year 5
Year 4 have really enjoyed their transition day to year 5, today! They have met the adults that will be working with them in September, created some fantastic artwork to display in their new classroom and thought about their dreams and aspirations for the upcoming school year.
Transition Day- Year 2 - 3- A Rewarding Afternoon
This afternoon, we focused on Maths and Reading . They read remarkably well, and their ability to summarise what they'd read showcased excellent comprehension. In Maths, they clearly displayed a strong grasp of place value and numbers, building a solid foundation in these essential areas. Beyond their academic achievements, it was evident how much growth and maturity they have developed. They are definitely ready for Year 3! As a special recognition for their hard work and how much they enjoyed their time experiencing Year 3 today, they were rewarded with a session on the outdoor gym and worship with Rev Matt. They've had such a positive experience and are eager to go home and share all about their day with their parents and carers!
Growing from Year 3 into Year 4’s Transition Day
What a fantastic day we have had with our soon to be Year 4 class! We have had a PSHE lesson - All About me , a Creative Writing session which focused on a dragon called Targon and a boy named Seb, plenty of artwork and we even managed to squeeze in some time on the MUGA and outdoor gym at the end of the day. The children have shown the four B’s and have been super enthusiastic, producing some wonderful pieces of work for our new displays. We can’t wait to welcome them back in September as they are definitely more than ready!
Year 1 to Year 2 Transition Day- Self Portraits
Today was a great transition day for our incoming Year 2 class! They drew some fantastic self-portraits for a new classroom display. They worked incredibly hard, carefully tracing the outlines of their faces and features before colouring them in with felt tip pens. The results look brilliant, and we can't wait to get them up on display!
Year 1 to Year 2 Transition Day- English- Exploring Riddles
During their transition day, our current Year 1 children (soon to be Year 2) kicked off a new poetry unit. They absolutely loved exploring riddles, carefully investigating the clues. They then challenged themselves to create their own clues for various objects, using adjectives and similes. We were incredibly lucky to have Freddie and Oscar from the current Year 6 class in our room, who did some fantastic modelling of similes to help the younger children. The Year 1s then impressed us with brilliant examples like: "A snake is long and thin like a hosepipe," "A snake is green like a gecko," "An apple is round like the world," "A crab is snappy like a crocodile," and "A coin is shiny like the moon."
Year 1 to Year 2 Transition Day- Phonics Bingo
Today, during their transition day, our current Year 1 children (soon to be Year 2) enjoyed an exciting game of phonics bingo. Last year, as they moved from Reception to Year 1, they focused on Phase 2 and some Phase 3 sounds. This year, they confidently tackled all the Phase 5 sounds, including alternative graphemes, which they've recently been learning and applying in their writing. It was brilliant to celebrate their progress and test their knowledge of these many sounds!

Reception to Year 1 transition
Our Reception class enjoyed learning about how they can have a positive mindset and achieve anything they put their mind to during their transition to Year 1 session today. Miss Woods was so impressed with their 'can do' attitudes and can't wait to teach them in September.
