Pizza Parlour

🍕 Our first trip to the DT suite was a great success! Dragonflies loved making pizzas and showed off some fantastic chef skills. We are so proud of our super chefs! 👏💛

Wave Rave 🌊

🌞🔥 What a day at Bowbrook!

Despite the heatwave, our amazing children showed incredible determination, working so hard and giving their best all day long 👏💪

To celebrate their effort and resilience, we turned up the fun with a well-earned Wave Rave! 🌊🎶💃 The perfect way to cool off, let loose, and make some fantastic memories together!
So proud of their positivity, teamwork, and energy… even in the heat! 💛🙌

International Day 🇪🇸

Feeling hot, hot, hot for our International Day! ☀️ 🇪🇸

Our children performed amazingly in our Spanish assembly, showcasing their work from across the year.

We tried some Spanish food, made ‘sangria’ & even took part in a special dance workshop. 💃

Although it is not a necessity, we are proud to offer foreign languages to our little ones. ✨

Arts Week 🎨

Arts Week 2026 – completed it ✅

Swans enjoyed a trip to the Quarry to combine Art & History and created some beautiful sketches.

After our crayons brightened up our school with their performance, each classroom was delivered a colour by the colour catcher! We decided our world is much more interesting with lots of colours in it & explored adding our colour to our classrooms. 🎨

Arts Week 2026 ✨

Arts Week 2026 ✨

We’re 3 days into our Arts Week & the creativity is flowing across the school.
We started our week with Monochrome Monday – imagining the world without any colour. ⚪️⚫️

Since then, we’ve explored a range of different artists in our House Groups, visited Attingham Park to explore art in nature, had a tile painting workshop & even explored art at Forest School.

Caterpillars & Dragonflies are off to Home Farm 🦆

We are pleased to let you know that on Friday 8th May we will be visiting Home Farm for an exciting school trip.

This visit will give the children the opportunity to explore a working farm and to feed animals, including lambs, which will support their learning through hands-on, real-life experiences.

This trip is open to:

• Caterpillars children who have a 30-hour code or who attend Nursery on a Friday
• All children in Dragonflies

Lunch arrangements
• Caterpillars children will need to bring a packed lunch from home
• Dragonflies children will have a packed lunch provided by school

What to bring and wear
Please ensure your child has:

• Wellies
• Waterproof coat
• Water bottle
• Wears school uniform

If you have any questions about the trip, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Cost of the trip

The cost of the trip is £10.50 per child. If you’re able to make a contribution, this can be paid via the Arbor app.

Please be assured that all school trips are open to every child. Contributions towards the cost are voluntary, and no child will miss out if you are unable to contribute. However, we do rely on enough contributions being made overall for the trip to go ahead.

Consent

We already hold your consent for your child to attend this trip, so no further permission is required.

We are all off to Xplore! Science Discovery Centre 🚌

To celebrate the end of Science Week, we are delighted to share that the children will be visiting Xplore! Science Discovery Centre on Friday 13th March. This will be an exciting opportunity for the children to explore hands‑on science activities and take part in interactive learning experiences.

We will leave school at  9.15am, returning at 2.00pm.

Nursery Attendance
Children in Nursery are welcome to attend if their usual attendance pattern includes a Friday or if they are in receipt of a valid 30‑hour code.

Lunch Arrangements

  • Nursery children attending the trip will need to bring a packed lunch from home.
  • All other children will have a school‑provided packed lunch for the day.

The cost for this trip is £17.80, which includes entry, transport, and insurance. Payment for this trip should be made via your child’s Arbor account prior to the date of the trip. Although costs for trips are voluntary, in reality, the school has no other means of funding these trips. We hope that everyone can contribute to the trip in some way.

Children will need to bring a waterproof coat and a water bottle. Please also ensure that they wear school uniform.

Grandparents Tea Party ☕️

Thank you to the wonderful grandparents who visited our Dragonflies to share stories about what home and school were like when they were young. The children loved hearing your memories — and you even got to sample their baking too!

Nutritionist Amy 🥒

To help the children understand what it means to lead a healthy lifestyle, we regularly talk about the importance of 4 main things: drinking water, eating a balanced diet, staying active, and getting plenty of sleep. 

Today, we were delighted to welcome Amy, a nutritionist, who spoke to the children about what makes a healthy diet. The children had the chance to smell and taste a range of fruits, vegetables, and herbs, sparking lots of curiosity and conversation.

Remembrance Day 🌺

Today, we all came together to honour those who have served and sacrificed for our country. At 11am, pupils and staff observed a two-minute silence, reflecting on the bravery and resilience of our armed forces past and present.

As part of our learning, we explored authentic medals awarded to a war hero.

We are proud of how our children showed respect and curiosity!

World Nursery Rhyme Week 🎶

It’s World Nursery Rhyme Week!

Sing a Song of Sixpence… 🎶
Our Early Years children had great fun today exploring this nursery rhyme.

A trip to the bakery to buy a pie, King and Queen crown making, bread and honey tasting and pegging out the washing to help the maid! 🥧

 

 

We wonder what tomorrow will bring? 💭

Fresh air & reflections 💭

We rounded the half term off with a whole school walk around the estate, breathing in the fresh air, appreciating the beauty of the nature around us and reflecting with our friends on what’s been a brilliant start to the year. 🍂

We were treated to a story by our super storytellers and shared our class pumpkins with each other before reminding ourselves of our 3 school rules that apply both in and out of school; be kind, be ready, be safe. ⭐️

Have a fabulous half term break – we will see you back on the 4th November. ✨
