The children were captivated as they saw the eggs crack and the chicks emerge, sparking excitement, curiosity and lots of questions. It has been a magical opportunity to witness new life up close and explore the wonders of the natural world.
What a truly unforgettable experience! 💛🐥 ... See MoreSee Less

These special opportunities give children the chance to share and celebrate their learning through workshops, assemblies, galleries and presentations linked to their class enquiries. 🌟
It’s a lovely time to come together as a school community, celebrate each child’s journey and reflect on all they have achieved throughout the year. 💙

🌟 SATs Week: Our Amazing Year 6! 🌟
This week, our Year 6 pupils will be busy with their SATs - and we couldn’t be prouder of the resilience, effort and spirit they are showing!
At James Knott, our vision is Love in Action. To us, that means more than just words; it’s about how we care for one another and how we grow as people. While these tests are a part of school life, they only tell a tiny part of the story.
There is so much about our Year 6s that a paper can’t measure:
🎨 It doesn’t measure their incredible creativity and imagination.
🤝 It doesn’t show the kindness and 'Love in Action' they show their friends every day.
🏆 It misses their amazing talents in art, music and sport.
💪 It can't capture their bravery or the wonderful way they commit to everything they do.
You’ve Got This!
Year 6, you are so much more than a score. You have already achieved so much just by being the brilliant, determined individuals you are.
Believe in yourself - we certainly do! Keep shining! 🌈✨ ... See MoreSee Less

🌟 Mental Health Month Launch 🌟
Beginning today, each year group will be exploring a class text linked to wellbeing and positive mental health. Through stories, discussion and reflection, children will think about themselves, their relationships with others and the world around them, linking closely to our school vision of “Love in Action – Deeds Not Words.”
As part of this, children will have opportunities for:
🪞 Looking In – understanding their own feelings and emotions
🪟 Looking Out – showing empathy, kindness and respect for others
☁️ Looking Up – reflecting on hope, support and belonging
Our book focus for each year group is:
🧸 Nursery – Find Your Happy!
Recognising feelings and regulating emotions.
🐴 Reception – The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse
Self-regulation, calming activities and feeling happy.
🦖 Year 1 – The Worrysaurus
Understanding how our bodies feel when we are worried and what we can do to calm those feelings.
💎 Year 2 – Ruby’s Worries
How worries grow when ignored but shrink when shared.
⭐ Year 3 – The Sneetches
Understanding segregation and inclusion.
💭 Year 4 – The Boy with Big Big Feelings
Expressing emotions instead of suppressing them.
🐸 Year 5 – Frog and Toad Are Friends
How to be a good friend.
🎒 Year 6 – The Final Year
Preparing for tests and transition to secondary school.
We are looking forward to a month of thoughtful discussion and reflection with our children. 💚 ... See MoreSee Less
