Head teacher’s update
A very well done to all of our Key Stage 1 and reception pupils for their fantastic participation in Sports Day. It was a great day and it was brilliant to see all of our pupils taking part. Well done, children!
Today, we were treated to a brass performance by class 4C. They performed brilliantly and looked like true professionals. I was blown away by their confidence. Thank you for a great start to our day, 4C.

Year 6 Forest School
Today was an action-packed Forest School session with our brilliant year 6’s, and what a day it was!
Den building was top of the list – and let’s just say, they really got into their knots…it took me a while to untangle everything at the end, but totally worth it for the creativity and teamwork on show!
The fire pit was glowing as the children helped light the fires and cooked up delicious pizza and s’mores – definitely a highlight!
We played an energetic game of shoe bingo, made colourful God’s eyes, and got delightfully messy in the mud kitchen and mud pit.
It was a day full of adventure, laughter, and muddy memories – just how Forest School should be!
This was the last session at COA, and Fiona has thanked us for being such a fantastic school to work with.
Fiona will be back working with us next year!
4C Final Art pieces
To end our Take One Picture project, 4C have combined all the skills and media they have used over the half term to produce their final pieces. Each child made their own section which was joined together to create a whole class canal.
Our First School Sports Day
Today the children in Reception and Key stage one all took part in our sports day at the field. It was lovely to see so many of our families there to support the children and cheer them along. Reception all took part in two races – a sprint and an obstacle race. They loved standing on the winner’s podium and getting a shiny sticker. Well done Reception we are so proud of you.
Sports Day KS1
Our EYFS and Key Stage 1 Sports Day was a fantastic celebration of fun, fitness, and teamwork! The children showed amazing enthusiasm and gave their best effort in a variety of activities including running races and obstacle races.
Highlights included:
-
Lots of cheering and smiles as children supported their friends.
-
Great demonstrations of sportsmanship and teamwork.
-
Many pupils improved their personal bests and showed determination.
-
Parents and staff enjoyed joining in the fun and encouraging the young athletes.
Overall, KS1 Sports Day was a wonderful event that helped promote physical activity, confidence, and school spirit among our youngest learners. We look forward to more exciting events next year!

Pirate Day
RECEPTION CHILDREN
Dear Parents/carers,
We are hoping to round off our topic with a fabulous pirate activity day. If possible, we would like the children to come dressed as a pirate on Tuesday 15th July.
Suggestions for costumes could be:
Stripy t – shirt
Shorts
Trousers tucked into boots
Eye patch
We would prefer that accessories such as swords and hooks be left at home that day!
Many thanks
Another busy week in Years 5 & 6
