On Friday morning, our Early Years Team invited our school community in to participate in sharing activities and rhymes with our families. A really wonderful morning was had by all!
On the 11th day, of the 11th month on the 11th hour we will remember them. We gathered to observe the national silence following a liturgy prepared by pupils from Y4, Y5 & Y6. Pupils across school have laid their prayers at our alter as we pray for the souls of the departed.

What a fantastic day we have had in school! Thank you to all of the parents who have come into school today to speak to the children about their culture. We have all learnt so much! Thank you also to the parents who have sent in information, photos and food.
As part of our Black History Month celebrations, our classes have been experiencing African drumming sessions with Cally. In these sessions, the children have been learning about the history of the drums; how to hold and position the hands to play the notes and learning rhythms and songs from West Africa.
Today in praise assembly, Mrs Griffiths presented the winning children with their mug designs and their actual mugs! She also announced that we raised a fantastic £300 for Macmillan from the competition and cake donations! Thank you everyone that contributed!
This morning, we welcomed in our school community for our Macmillan coffee morning. Parents and family members visited their child’s classes and were invited to have a hot drink and some cake while participating in some fun activities with their children in the classrooms!
We are going to announce the winners of the mug design in next week’s praise assembly, where we will also be able to share how much we raised!
Thank you for all your support and for Mrs Griffiths for organising a wonderful morning!
Over the last few weeks, our children have been completing work in class to bury four specially themed time capsules on our school field. As a school, we wanted to capture the significance of events such as: The Queen’s Jubilee, The Commonwealth Games as well as celebrating the children’s resilience during the pandemic and our school’s contributions towards the communities such as our defibrillator campaign. The four capsules were buried in a special ceremony held yesterday – how exciting that in decades or centuries to come people will be talking about our amazing children and school?!
We were very proud today to welcome Mark King from the Oliver King Foundation to deliver our community defibrillator and provide training to members of staff.
The Oliver King Foundation are determined to save as many young lives as possible. Their aim is to ensure that no other family has to suffer a similar loss to the family of Oliver King.
The Foundation was set up in January 2012 following the tragic death of 12-year-old Oliver King. Oliver died from Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome, a hidden heart condition which kills 12 young people every week. Oliver attended King David High School in Liverpool and suffered a cardiac arrest whilst taking part in a swimming race. It is estimated that 270 children die every year.
We would like to thank Mark and Chris for visiting our school, providing a defibrillator and providing our staff with the training to use it.
