Our Road Safety Workshop
Why is road safety so important? What are the different ways we can keep safe while travelling? And what can you do to ensure that your travels are risk-free?
These were all questions that were answered in Year 3 and 4's Big Wheel Theatre's brand-new Road Safety workshop at school! Our students participated in a gameshow, funny adverts, an interactive storytelling session to explore the Green Cross Code and how we can travel around safely. The workshop leads discussed walking, scooting, and travelling by car in exciting ways to get students thinking about what they can do, and encourage others to do, to make sure everyone is as safe as possible. Our students met a Road Safety Expert and friends on an exciting adventure that was both entertaining and and educational!
Tune in to our Podcast Episode!
Whilst reading Pig Heart Boy by award-winning author Malorie Blackman in their English lessons, our Year 6 students brought the story to life in their very own podcast episode! Tune in to a conversation between our students taking on the roles of a podcast host and xenotransplantation doctor as they discuss the ethical, social and environmental impacts of xenotransplantation.

Mental Health Awareness Week!
This week marks Mental Health Awareness Week, and with 'loneliness' at its centre, children are encouraged to get thinking about friendships, support systems, how best to support others while also brainstorming self-care strategies to combat feelings of loneliness and anxiety.
Eid Party
Upon returning after their Eid break, our students brought the festivity back to school as they enjoyed their in-class parties! With snacks and games, it was truly a day packed with fun and excitement that was enjoyed across the school, by staff and students alike.
