Show Racism the Red Card!

Why We Are Wearing Red Today?

Today, pupils and staff are wearing red to help raise awareness and show support for an important cause. By wearing red, we are standing together to promote kindness, inclusion, and understanding, while helping to make a positive difference in the lives of others.

Taking part in days such as this gives our children the opportunity to learn about compassion, empathy, and the importance of supporting those within our wider community. It also reminds us that even small actions can have a big impact when we come together as a school family. We would like to thank all of our children, families, and staff for getting involved and helping us make today a colourful and meaningful occasion. We are incredibly proud of the enthusiasm and support shown across our school.

Gladiator Micro:bit Competition

Lots of our children have been taking part in the BBC Micro:bit Gladiators Competition this term.

The ultimate guide to the BBC Gladiators micro:bit competition – BBC Teach

They have had to design a device which would help a Gladiator improve their skills, which uses a piece of technology called a Micro:bit. We use Micro:bits throughout school, from D&T in Year 3, as part of our Code Club and as part of our Year 6 Computing curriculum, so this was a great chance for us to explore our knowledge!

We have submitted 3 entries into the competition, and will wait to see if we have any winners!

Remembrance in Reception – Art day

European Languages day

On Thursday 26th September, Sir Alexander Fleming celebrated the range of diversity throughout Europe by spending an afternoon learning about different countries in Europe. Each year group was assigned a different country and they did lots of research about the country and the culture which linked with the curriculum. Some year groups learnt about the location of the country, others tried the native food, one year group had a zoom call with a native Swedish speaker and others did art work based a famous artist from that country. All year groups learnt basic greetings in their chosen language. We then had a whole school assembly where each year group shared with the school what they have learnt.

It was a great day!

National Coding Week Assembly

We had an assembly this morning to celebrate National Coding Week. We looked at what coding is, why it is important, how we do it in school and where it could take us in the future. We also looked at the inspirational figure of Grace Hopper and her impact on the computer science field.
