Today’s focus for our CROSSTEACH assembly was looking at how God sees all of his people as important and that he builds up his people when he calls them to do certain roles. In the assembly today, we learnt the importance of not judging a book by it’s cover.
All these amazing books are being sold after school today to support buying new books for our library. Thank you to all the parents who purchased books for your support,
Thank you so much for your support to raise funds to help those affected by the earthquake in Syria. So far we have raised £420! We have had a wonderful selection of cakes and biscuits. Thank you for taking time to bake or buy cakes for today.
We are very excited to be joining partnership with MHST, who are funded by NHS England to support the mental wellbeing of children in both primary and secondary schools and colleges.
Today, to launch Children’s Mental Health Week, Educational Mental Health Practitioners led a whole school assembly to introduce MHST. They discussed what mental health is, how we feel, who we can talk to and ask for help and the importance of looking after our mind.
Pupils will be involved in more activities throughout the wee linked to this year’s Mental Health week theme; “LET’S CONNECT”.
Class 2 read the story of Elmer – a story about being proud to be different. We coloured our own Elmer’s and wrote what we are proud of about ourselves. We’ve learned it is good to be different and we should accept everyone for being themselves. We are all unique!

Today, EYC invited all of our parents to watch EYC’S exhibition. Our EYC choir sang some bear songs and then the parents joined us for a bear hunt. We went through the long wavy grass, squelched in the thick oozy mud, splashed through the cold wet river, had a stumble trip through the forest, braved a swirling whirling snowstorm then tip toed to the cave, where we found a bear!!! It was such a beautiful day.
HUGELY proud of our Year 5 pupils who took part in the March Area Band performance tonight with the amazing Nottingham Music Hub! Well done to all the children and music hub staff for putting on such a great show.
We chose sunflowers, the national flowers of Ukraine, to write messages of peace, hope and love for all the victims of war in this world and enable the children to express themselves if they wanted.
We are humbled by how kind our community has been and how everyone has come together to give donations to the people of Ukraine. Thank you everyone – by tomorrow, this will all be on its way to some of those who urgently need it ❤️🧡💛
The children reacted so thoughtfully and creatively to the story of ‘The Red Tree’ and the virtual production by Red Earth Theatre as part of National Storytelling Week. The display is now up in our entrance hall to celebrate their responses and it is very beautiful.
