• Friday 23 October 2026 Marigold Court Every Friday, a group of Key Stage 2 pupils visit Marigold Court, our local care home, to spend time with the residents. During these visits, children enjoy playing games, chatting and taking part in shared activities, helping to build meaningful relationships across generations. This valuable opportunity allows pupils to develop their confidence, communication skills and empathy, while bringing enjoyment and companionship to the residents. We are proud of the positive impact these visits have on both our pupils and the wider community.

• Friday 17 July 2026 Super Powers In Literacy this half term, the children have been busy writing their own sections of our class book, Super Powers by Alex Cliff. Using story maps and storyboards, they planned their ideas carefully before bringing their stories to life in writing. A key focus has been on using speech to help show how characters are feeling, encouraging the children to think more deeply about character development and expression. They've also been working hard to extend their sentences, adding extra detail to engage and inform the reader. It's been wonderful to see their creativity and confidence as writers continue to grow!

The children have enjoyed solving time problems which required them to convert between hours, minutes and seconds.
