On the last day of term, Year Six performed a powerful and emotive presentation of ‘The Crucifixion’.
Retelling the most important story in the world, they used song, prayer and dance to lead us through the final stages of Jesus’s life.
Year Six, we are so proud of your hard-work. Your performance will be one to remember for a long time to come…

Year 2 enjoyed an exciting start to the Summer Term today. We had a visit from Martin, Mark, Wayne and Tom who are firefighters at West Bridgford Fire Station.
Mark and Martin started our visit with a presentation in class. They told us all about their job, how they stay safe at work and what we should do if our house was on fire. Some children even demonstrated how to wear the uniform!
We then had the opportunity to look at the fire engine up close with Tom and Wayne. They showed us all of their car rescue equipment, hoses, oxygen tanks and we got to sit in the fire engine. There were lots of interesting questions for the firefighters and some huge smiles from the children.
Thank you so much to our visitors, you really brightened up our Monday morning!
Mark and Martin’s challenge:
Check that you have 2 fully working smoke detectors installed upstairs and down.
Make a family escape plan with your family to ensure that everyone knows how to get out of your house if there was a fire at night.
Year 2 have successfully completed a very busy Spring Term. They have enjoyed a visit to Twycross Zoo, watched the BRW ducklings hatch and grow, raised over £100 for CAFOD and completed a whole range of learning linked to our topic.
Take a look at our highlights.
On Monday, Year 4 started our whole school Holy Week journey with their ‘Entry Into Jerusalem’ performance. They told the story of Palm Sunday so wonderfully and we have all been so impressed with their dedication and team effort to make it as spectacular as it was. They are a class of super singers and awesome actors! We can’t wait to journey with the rest of the school through Holy Week.
TTRS and Numbots!
Mathletics Results
Year 3 were joined by Year 4 today, to welcome some very special visitors…the ducklings. Earlier in the week, when they were newly hatched we did some observational sketches. Today, we loved watching them have a swim, but not as much as the ducklings enjoyed the water, and very cheekily splashing anyone within reach! We really will miss them as they’ve now returned to the farm.
In year 4 we had a joyful World Book Day, celebrating our favourite books and characters by dressing up, spending time in our beautiful reading corner, and being lucky enough to have a visit from a professional author! Bemma Akyeampong came and read to us one of her wonderful stories. We had already read another one of her books from the ‘Ayuda’ series earlier in the week, so the class were so pleased to meet her and hear her read another one of these books! Her stories deal with important environmental issues, through the eyes of a sea turtle…
Year 3 have been working hard with Mrs Bathgate in Gymnastics. They have been learning how to link different tucks and rolls to link a variety of balances on different parts of their bodies…Such poise, have a look!
This week is the 30th Anniversary of British Science Week, so the theme this year is Time!
We got off to a super start this morning with our Science Ambassadors leading a whole school assembly. We began with learnig a little about our Science saint – At. Albert the Great, and read a prayer that last year’s ambassadors wrote. They shared the theme and lots of links to our own lifes and science that we can make with science. They launched the Poster competition and ran the lunch-time ‘Gadget Shop’ which will run Mon-Thursday this week, until all stock is sold. Prices range from 50p to £2.
