What a fun day out at the British Museum! The year 3s had a great time getting close and personal with the artefacts they have been studying in history. Particular highlights were the Rosetta Stone and the mummies. Despite how busy the museum was, the year 3s behaved excellently and had lots of thoughtful questions about what we saw.
We were delighted to welcome Paralympian Kylie Grimes to our school for a truly inspiring day of sport and motivation.
Kylie, who represented Great Britain in wheelchair rugby at the Tokyo Paralympic Games, delivered a fantastic assembly where she shared her journey to becoming an elite athlete. She spoke about the importance of determination, resilience, teamwork and never giving up on your dreams, inspiring all of our pupils to believe in themselves and strive to achieve their goals.
Following the assembly, the children took part in a sponsored fitness circuit, giving everyone the opportunity to challenge themselves while raising money for our school. The pupils showed great enthusiasm, perseverance and encouragement towards one another throughout the event, making it a fun and memorable experience for all.
The Year 5 pupils had an action-packed and exciting taster day at Oak Wood secondary school, getting a true flavour of high school life.

The children then put on their international hats, swiftly picking up basic words and conversational phrases in a combined French and Spanish language workshop.

Our Year 5 pupils had a fantastic and deeply enriching visit to the local Gurdwara in Hayes Town before half term. The children represented our school beautifully, showing immense respect as they removed their shoes and covered their heads to enter the prayer hall (Darbar Sahib). During the visit, they had the wonderful opportunity to see Guru Granth Sahib, learn about the core values of the Sikh faith and ask some incredibly thoughtful questions.
