How lucky are we to have such an amazing community transforming our tunnel. We all loved meeting Callum Carr the artist on Friday. The children were memorized watching as he carefully created the bumblebee. Rabbit was our favourite! So many beautiful animals and insects. What a wonderful adventure!

Our topic this term is ‘Journey Across the World’. Within this, we will be looking at areas such as landmarks, festivals, food, education, music, fashion and much more. For outdoor learning this week, the P7’s used loose parts to represent the continents and oceans of the world. Well done everyone! 🗺️📍

What better way to celebrate the end of term than with a MASSIVE P7 water fight? Today was all about laughter, teamwork, and getting absolutely soaked — and it was epic! 😄 🔫💦

We kicked things off with some fun water games, and then… all bets were off! Buckets, bottles, and water blasters flew into action. There were squeals, giggles ~ a perfect way to make more unforgettable memories in our final weeks together. 🌈

Rose Day coming up next! 🌹🥲

We’re only partway through the week, but it’s already been full of unforgettable moments!

Yesterday was our Epic Day — and it truly lived up to its name! The playground and gym hall were bursting with laughter and excitement as the P7s enjoyed a fantastic range of inflatables and games.

💥 Top highlights? The Whack-A-Mole and Joust inflatables were hands-down the favourites — and not just with the kids… some of the adults gave it a go too!

What made it even more special is that the P7s raised the money themselves throughout the year to fund this day — and wow, did they earn it! We’re so proud of their effort, teamwork, and enthusiasm.

# data[].attributes.body
Kicked off the final week for our lovely P7’s with a brilliant Epic Day. Both classes had a fabulous time playing and creating core memories with eachother. We ended our afternoon with pizza, snacks and dancing🤍🕺🏽

P3a were brave and tried lots of new foods: homemade colourful vegetable salsa, fruit salad skewers and smooth golden hummus. Apparently, eating with your friends helps you try new things! Yummy!

# data[].attributes.body
We pulled different learning together today - reading and carefully following instructions from literacy; weighing and counting from maths; knowing about food groups and how they help us to be healthy from health and wellbeing; and food safety, hygiene and preparation from technology. Clever us! Even better, we had some amazing healthy food for an afternoon snack!

Today we joined the Authors Live session with the author and illustrator Jamie Smart.
