Dinosaur Discovery!

The children in Reception were surprised to find that a dinosaur had visited our school during the Christmas holidays! We found a dinosaur egg in the Reception outdoor area and looked on the school cameras to find videos of the dinosaur exploring, eating and sleeping in all of the Reception classrooms.

The children quickly realised that the dinosaur had left the egg behind. We decided that we need to take care of it. The children used sticks, leaves and grass to make a nest to protect the dinosaur egg and keep it warm. We kept an eye on the egg and each day it began to crack more and more.

On Friday, when the children came back from lunch they noticed the egg had hatched! We were all very excited and looked on the school cameras. We found a clip of the egg hatching and the baby dinosaur leaving to find its mummy.

We thought you would like to see the video...

World of Work Week

The children had a great week discussing what they would like to do for a job when they are older. We had parents and relatives who very generously gave up their time to come and talk to the children about what they do and how they use technology in their role.

On Thursday 8th May 2025, the whole school took part in activities for the 80th Anniversary of VE day. It was lovely to see both staff and children dressing up in 1940s outfits to remember the Second World War era. We started the day with a whole school assembly, followed by activities in classrooms. We finished the day with everyone coming together for a street party.
