Introducing the newest band — the Ash Rockstars! They're the best at counting and singing all the way to 100!

Today, we celebrated " TTRS Day." The children in Y5 had lots of fun dressing up as Rockstars and Popstars whilst also having the chance to take part in various times table challenges throughout the day.

Year 1 Elm have had a brilliant Times Tables Rockstar Day! They enjoyed dressing up as rockstars and had lots of fun counting in 10s and playing maths games.

Next week is Anti-Bullying Week! To kick off the week, on Monday (10th November) everyone is invited to come to school wearing odd socks 🧦 we will also be having a diversity celebration ❤️

This Friday (7th November) is TT Rock Stars Day in school! 🎸⚡️ Children are invited to come to school dressed as rock stars! Think leather jackets, sunglasses, funky hairstyles, etc. (no need to buy anything new - homemade outfits are perfect!)

In Year 1 Ash this week, we have been busy celebrating Diwali. We carefully planned and created Diya lamps using salt dough, learned the story of Rama and Sita, and even taste-tested samosas. Ask us questions about what we’ve been up to this week!

Year 5 enjoyed their movie afternoon that was won out the vending machine for their attendance. This included popcorn and hot chocolate.

As a reminder, we break up for half term today and we’re looking forward to then welcoming children back to school on Monday 3rd November. We hope all of you will enjoy a lovely half term holiday, we can’t wait to hear about what you got up to! ❤️

Wow what a fantastic, busy week we have had in Reception Willow. This week we celebrated Diwali and had a fantastic day learning all about the celebration of Diwali and traditions, we also got to try some Samosas. We all really enjoyed them. We hope you all have a fantastic half term and stay safe whatever you are doing.

Year 2 Oak had a fantastic afternoon learning and celebrating Diwali. We looked at why Diwali is celebrated and then looked at how diya lamps are used to support the celebration. We then made our diya lamps in many different ways. To end our celebrations we got to taste a samosa, it was delicious! 🪔🎆

We have an exciting opportunity for parents to become more involved in the life of our school by joining the Governing Board as a Parent Governor.

We are seeking nominations from parents or carers who are interested in helping the school continue to thrive. You do not need to be an expert in education – just bring your interest in the school

Year 3 have had a fantastic day today with Mr Ashton from EngagedU. We have used Lego Spike kits to build and code Lego to follow a set of instructions to complete a task. We programmed sensors and motors to make our creations light up and move. Ask us all about it!
