Nursery - R.E - Purim Celebrations
What a wonderful time we've had learning about the special celebration of Purim today! We heard how the Jewish people were saved, and that made everyone feel so happy! Just like when we talked about the things that make us happy – and so many of the children love to dance! The children used gross motor movements to stretch and dance with colourful scarves, swirling and twirling, bringing all that happy colour into our room, just like the joy of Purim! You all danced with such happy hearts today. Well done, everyone

Sports for Champions Visit – Alisha Evanston (Tumbling)
We had an inspiring visit from professional tumbler Alisha Evanston as part of our Sports for Champions event! Alisha wowed the children with her amazing tumbling skills and even invited some brave volunteers—including a few teachers—for a fun handstand competition. She shared her journey as an athlete, showing videos of her performances, answering thoughtful questions from the children, and proudly showing her medals. The session was full of energy and excitement, and the children left feeling motivated and inspired to follow their own dreams. A huge thank you to Alisha for such a memorable experience!
Year 2 – Exploring the Hindu Festival of Holi
Year 2 have been learning all about the Hindu festival of Holi, a celebration known for its vibrant colours, joy, and togetherness. To mark the occasion, the children took part in a colourful art activity, using chalks and pastels to create their own bright and joyful Holi-inspired artwork. They really enjoyed working outdoors in the sunshine, getting creative and experimenting with colour blending to reflect the spirit of the festival. It was a fun, hands-on way to explore another culture and understand how people around the world celebrate. Well done, Year 2—your artwork was as bright and beautiful as the festival itself!
Year 2 – Easter Competition Fun!
Year 2 have been getting creative this week as part of our Easter competition! Using a mix of materials including feathers, felt, card, and colourful pens, the children designed and made their own fabulous Easter egg characters. It was wonderful to see so much imagination and individuality in their creations—from funky chicks to beautifully decorated eggs! The classroom was full of focus, laughter, and a real sense of pride in their work. Well done, Year 2—you showed fantastic creativity and teamwork. We’re so proud of all your efforts and can’t wait to see how your entries do in the competition!
Year 2 – Courageous Advocacy in Action
As part of our ongoing Courageous Advocacy work, Year 2 have been exploring the important issue of litter in our community. The children showed real care and compassion for the environment as they discussed the impact litter has on wildlife and our planet. They then got creative by designing posters to encourage others to take action and bin their litter, spreading an important message of care and responsibility. Alongside this, the children also wrote thoughtful prayers, asking for a cleaner, safer world and for people to make better choices for the Earth. We are so proud of the passion and purpose Year 2 showed—they are truly making a difference!
Reception - Celebrating the Hindu Festival of Holi!
Our Reception class had a fantastic time learning about and celebrating the Hindu Festival of Holi – the festival of colours! The children enjoyed exploring colour through a variety of creative activities. Outside, they used spray bottles filled with vibrant paints to create beautiful art on large sheets of paper, mimicking the joyful splashes of colour seen during Holi celebrations. Indoors, they used digital tools on the interactive whiteboard to create their own colourful masterpieces, experimenting with shape, colour, and design. It was a fun, engaging way to learn about different cultures and traditions while developing our artistic and fine motor skills. What a colourful afternoon we had!
Pre-School-PSHE-Courageous Advocacy
Today we had a super fun session all about making sure everyone feels happy, included and listened to! We talked about how we show kindness and respect in our environment, and the children had lots of brilliant ideas. They helped make decisions by voting for the story they wanted to hear—everyone added their vote to the chart and we counted up which story won! The children became the teachers for the day, choosing which activities we should do and what resources we should use. They were amazing at listening to each other, sharing ideas, and making sure everyone had a say. We also chatted about fairness and why it’s so important to be kind to everyone. Later on in the garden, the children worked as a team to move a big log—they helped each other, made a plan and got it done together. Teamwork and big smiles all around!
