Over the past few weeks, we have been promoting our love for reading and the importance of reading for pleasure. 

What a fantastic day we had in Year 2. Many of our children and staff came dressed as Tudors.

We have been learning all about rainbows and colours in nursery and have been reading the story books ‘What Makes A Rainbow’ and ‘Rainbow Colours.’

In our English lessons, we have been reading The Twits by Roald Dahl.

Year 2 enjoyed a fascinating presentation on Diwali- the festival of light.

On Tuesday,  we took part in Odd Socks day as part of our Friendship week celebrations. 

This time last year I was approached by one of our parents, asking if we had any old and unused resources which might be useful to a Nursery School that her mother was setting up in Ghana. 

Last week, we gathered together at assembly time to think about the importance of Remembrance Day.
