Year 5 and 6 Campover

Year 5 and year 6 had an amazing time at their residential! Year 5 participated in high rope climbing and really challenged themselves. Sleeping overnight in tents on the field and smores by the campfire was an experience they will never forget! 

Year 6 showed much endurance on their hike to Northala Fields and back on the first day, followed by camping overnight with a disco and movie and of course snacks - a lot of fun was had. On their day at Queen Mary sailing club they showed the most amazing resilience and teamwork navigating paddle boats and wetsuits! We know that everyone had the best sleep once they got home after that!

Big Community Clean Up

A very big thank you to all the parents and children who helped clean up the school field on Friday 19th April.  The field is an improved space ready for use and the children will benefit thoroughly from this.  It was good to see so many parents keen to support the school.

World Book Day 2023

Friday the 3rd March we celebrated an exciting World Book Day! The children and staff made a magnificent effort with their costumes this year! We launched our celebrations in the morning with a World Book Day quiz and shared the love of reading - staff volunteers shared their favourite books and we had our very own resident author, Mrs Taib, speak about the inspiration for her children's book - Billy's Brilliant Family. Each class was also given a gift of reading to be opened and shared together.

The day was fully immersed in reading activities including Buddy Reading with partner classes and DEAR (Drop everything and read) We held a 'Best original costume' competition and there were some fantastic costumes seen. The winners received a prize and certificate in our afternoon celebration assembly. Throughout the day, classes were also very busy with designing their classroom doors as a book cover of their choice. The doors looked amazing and the winning doors have received great prizes as well! We hope you enjoy looking at the lovely mementos of the day!
