‘A Glint of Gold’
We are so proud of our budding young performers and how they were able to convey all of their knowledge of the ancient Egyptian Gods, Kings and way of live to the stage in their recent production of ‘A Glint of Gold’. The play is about the dramatic discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb.

Refugee Week
We marked Refugee Week by teaming up with volunteers from the local Refugee Support Group and Clayton Engineering to run an activity day on the theme of “Home.”
Children from across the whole school simulated the experience of some refugees. Using donated and borrowed tents, poles, tarpaulins and groundsheets and lots of cardboard, the children separated into four nations and each made their home, as best they could.
Then two of the groups went in search of a better home and they began to travel the world. They helped each other through an obstacle course, before encountering the sea, a huge blue tarpaulin that they had to find a way to get their cuddly toy mascots across without falling in. And would they be welcome?
Nick and Dave from Clayton Engineering joined us with two lifeboat launching tractors. Clayton Engineering builds the machinery that launches all the RLNI Lifeboats all around the British coastline. RLNI volunteers rescue anyone in trouble at sea, including asylum seekers in the English Channel. Their cause is to save lives.
During the afternoon, children returned to their classes.
Children in Reception and Year 1 looked at the story of Paddington and they thought carefully about the things that they would take with them if they had to leave their home.
Year 2 and 3 pupils were inspired by the work of Kate Daudy and they used a tent as their canvas for their ‘home’ inspired creations.
Pupils in Year 4 created artwork based on the work of artist Romero Britto on the theme of ‘hope’.
Pupils in Years 5 and 6 learnt more about the RLNI and created ideas for how they might raise funds for the RLNI.
Jigsaw- The Year Ahead
Today Year 6 completed the final unit of ‘Changing Me’. All topics taught have been dealt with in a really mature manner by all pupils, with open and honest conversations, despite many feeling embarrassed by the nature of the unit. The last lesson was to think about the year ahead and moving on to high school…thinking about any worries (making new friends, losing old friends, getting lost, detentions, missing the bus) they might have and what could help.
