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. 

This week Reception have been looking at a story called “Naughty Bus” by Jan and Jerry Oke.

Year 2 were lucky enough to visit Hampton Court Palace – one of the Palace’s King Henry VIII used to live in.

Extra bank holiday for the coronation of King Charles III As a result of the announcement by the Prime Minister allowing another bank holiday for the coronation of King Charles III the term dates for the schools in the Pegasus Academy Trust have now been changed. 

Welcome Back! It’s been great to see all the children back in Nursery, we hope you all had a restful break.

This week in reception we have been looking the book Funnybones by Janet and Allan Ahlberg.

It was lovely to see so many parents joining us to celebrate harvest. 

This week we have been learning all about autumn and the changes that happen at this time of year.

One of the advantages to being part of a Multi Academy Trust is that all staff are part of a much bigger team than they would be in a single ‘standalone’ school. 

Last week in nursery we were learning the words and actions to the nursery rhyme ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’. 

As this week is poetry week, Reception have been looking at the poem ‘I am angry’ by the author Michael Rosen.

Last week Year 2 took part in this year’s Mini London Marathon.
