Good news alert!!
Luna and Willow decided (themselves!!!) to design, make and sell bracelets to their family and friends 🧡
This wonderfully kind initiative was to raise funds for Mini Vinnies 🙌
They raised an astounding £42.44 from their sale, which is absolutely fantastic!!!! Mini Vinnies will use this generous donation to purchase toiletry bags for the homeless

Year 3K Geography, by Mrs Harris
Date: 30th Jun 2024 @ 8:49pm
'Fieldwork Fortnight'! Year 3K enjoyed taking part and spending their Geography lesson outside of the classroom finding things out for themselves. Our goal was to find the best location for a new 'Sustainable Garden' within our school grounds. We thought about what a sustainable garden could include and then followed an aerial map of our school to make observations and collect data.
Our research questions were
1. Is the location big enough?
2. Is it peaceful and quiet?
3. Will it attract wildlife?
4. Can it be accessed easily by all?
5. Would there be any other problems with this location?
After deciding on the most suitable location, the children then began to design their own 'sustainable garden'.
The children really impressed Miss Kealey with their careful and thoughtful planning. Well done Year 3K.

Year 3 have had fun investigating shadows recently. Our Enquiry Question was ‘What do you Notice about Shadows?’
We thought about what equipment we would need, how we were going to conduct our experiment and what our predictions would be.
We then conducted our our experiments then compared our results to our predictions.

Year 3 - Trip to Eureka and Vale Park, by Miss Kealey
Date: 8th May 2024 @ 7:50pm
Year 3 have had a fun filled day today!
We visited ‘Eureka Science + Discovery’ centre, where the children enjoyed exploring the bodies gallery, nature gallery and homes gallery. There were so many different activities for the children to join in with! We also took part in the ‘From the Chew to the Poo’ science show where the children were able to learn about how the digestive system works and exactly what happens to food once we’ve eaten it. It was a mixture of fun, interesting and disgusting!!!
We ended our day with a short but sweet visit to Vale Park to enjoy a well-earned ice-cream in the sun.
It was lovely to spend time together as a year group. A big thank you to our parent helpers for supporting the trip today. The children (and teachers!) appreciated it very much!

Earth Day 2024
Today Year 3K spent some time thinking about how we can protect our earth. We explored the natural resources we get from the earth and how we can play our part in sustaining the environment. The children had a very thoughtful discussion and came up with many helpful ideas!
The children shared their ideas by making an ‘Earth Day foldout’ where they wrote/drew 4 things they can do to help protect our planet. 👏🏻🌍🌺🌳🌲🪴🩷
Year 3M World Earth Day 🌏, by Mrs Harris
Date: 22nd Apr 2024 @ 10:58pm
Year 3M have been learning about how we can invest in our planet. This is the idea that everyone should try to work together to help to look after our planet earth.
We thought about our earth's...
* Energy
* Soil
* Water
*Trees
*Food
...and what we can do to help.
We then created a foldout titled 'Caring for our Planet'. Take a look at our wonderful creations and pass on the messages of how to look after our earth.
First Holy Communion, by Mrs Harris
Date: 22nd Apr 2024 @ 10:15pm
One of the most important events in a young Catholic’s life is his or her First Holy Communion. To go along with this special occasion of receiving Jesus for the first time in the Eucharist, girls wear a pretty new white dress and boys wear a new suit or shirt and trousers with a tie.
While First Communion outfits are sometimes passed down to younger siblings in families, others are kept for sentimental value but often get forgotten and are stored in a wardrobe where they collect dust. Many of our families have kindly found a place for these outfits which have sentimental value, by donating to our school to be used for a child receiving their First Communion. The wonderful donations allows children and their families to not worry about an outfit and focus on the Sacrament.
Please do get in touch with Leanne at [email protected] or WhatsApp/call her confidentially on 07544865763 should you wish to borrow any items for your child's Holy Communion, this can be arranged confidentially
