🏃♂️☀️ Sports Day Fun! ☀️🏃♀️
Last Friday was a fantastic celebration of fitness, fun and community at our annual Sports Day! 🎉
Reception kicked off the day and had a blast tackling their fun obstacle course, showing off their climbing, jumping and balancing skills with huge enthusiasm! 🎯🌈
Our 2YOs & Nursery then took part in a super Little Movers event alongside their families – lots of smiles, cheering and fun! 💛👣
Then it was the turn of Years 1–6, who wowed us with a brilliant mix of running races, relays, obstacle courses, golf challenges and more. Every child gave it their all and supported each other so well – true team spirit! 💪🏽🏅⛳
The sun shone brightly (maybe a little too brightly! 🌞🥵), but nothing could stop the energy and excitement. A big thank you to our families for coming along and cheering everyone on!

Year 2's Magical Trip to Belsay Hall! 🌿🏰
Last week, Year 2 had an unforgettable adventure at Belsay Hall! We explored the mystical castle ruins, created stunning nature art in the woods and wandered through the beautiful gardens and grand hall. 🌳🎨🏡
We also had so much fun in the playpark - whizzing down slides, swinging high and climbing with our friends! 😄🛝🌞
This trip brought our learning about The Secret Garden to life - just like Mary from the story, we discovered hidden corners, secret paths and the magic of nature all around us. 🌼📖 ... See MoreSee Less

🌞🦀 Year 4’s Sunny Adventure at St Mary’s Lighthouse! 🐚🦭
Earlier this half term, Year 4 enjoyed a wonderful day of sunshine and discovery at St Mary’s Lighthouse!
We began with a minibeast hunt in the meadows, spotting all kinds of tiny creatures 🐜🌿.
Then, using natural materials we’d gathered, the children got creative with some beautiful sand art on the beach - shells, seaweed, and stones transformed into stunning seaside masterpieces! 🎨🏖️
After lunch, we spotted seals relaxing on the rocks! 🦭 It was such a special moment to see them in their natural habitat.
Next up was rock pooling, where we found crabs, anemones and all sorts of sea life 🌊🦀.
A day full of exploration, creativity and coastal wonders. ... See MoreSee Less
