  • French Theatre Adventure!

    Published 12/10/26

    Last Wednesday children in Years 1 to 4 enjoyed a magical and interactive French theatre experience, Au Pays Des Lutins (Elf
    Land). During the adventure, they helped Lucy and her cat, Pistache, find their way home by taking on the roles of colourful
    characters including a fairy, a lion, a tin man and unicorns. Along the way, they helped the lion find his animal friends,
    brought the tin man back to life and joined in a magical dance with bright pompoms while outsmarting a wicked witch. The
    children practised speaking French through songs, movement and games, learning vocabulary about colours, animals,
    emotions, numbers and simple sentence starters. It was a fun and engaging way to build confidence and bring language
    learning to life. Thank you to the FTDS for funding this wonderful experience.

  • Year 2 - Autumn Leaf hunt

    Published 02/10/26

    Some of our Year 2 children enjoyed a fantastic visit to the school wildlife area this week, where they became nature detectives in search of autumn leaves. Armed with identification guides, the children carefully observed, collected and compared different leaves, learning how to recognise them by their shape, size and colour.

     

    The children were excited to discover the beautiful seasonal changes taking place around them and showed excellent teamwork and curiosity throughout the activity. It was a wonderful opportunity to develop their scientific observation skills while enjoying the outdoors and appreciating the natural world around our school. Well done, Year 2!
