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. ✨

Building progress 👷

Our Swans visited the construction site for the new classrooms this afternoon.
The children met with the George, the site Foreman and asked questions about how the building was developing.
George spoke to them about the importance of teamwork, organisation and being safe. It’s going to look great!

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside… 🌊

Day Trip to Llandudno 🌊
Our Swans and Caterpillars had the best day ever in Llandudno! From paddling in the sea to building pebble towers and breathing in the fresh sea air, it was a day full of smiles and special moments.
Our Swans were wonderful role models for our littlest learners, making us all incredibly proud.
What a fantastic day! ☀️

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. 🎨

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.

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.

Swans Big Sleepover 🦢

Swans Big Sleepover 🦢

Hide and seek, hot chocolates & movies and a big bedtime story before snuggling down with our friends. ✨

A super evening full of our (very grown up) year 2’s feeling the fear & doing it anyway. For some of our little ones, this was the first time staying away from their parents and they showed so much resilience and independence – we are so incredibly proud of them! 🧡 💪🏻

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!

Managing money 🪙

Today, our Swans welcomed Jess from Nationwide.

We explored resilience, learning to bounce back when things are tricky and built our understanding of money, including recognising coins and counting amounts.

A great blend of life skills and maths learning. ✨

Thank you, Jess!
