• Food waste Workshop Years 5 and 6

  Fri 12 Dec 2025

  Year 5 and 6 had the pleasure of taking part in a workshop all about food waste last week. The children learnt about the quantities of food that is thrown away after a Christmas meal. They were then shown a way that we could use the left overs to create a delicious snack. The other half of the workshop taught them what happens to our recycling and highlighted the importance of it.

  

• Enterprise products

  Fri 28 Nov 2025

  What a fun and festive week for Year 1 and Year 2!

  This week, our Year 1 and Year 2 children have been busy getting creative as they put together their enterprise products—and what a fantastic job they’ve done!

   

  Year 1 have absolutely loved making their hot chocolate reindeer cones, filling them with cosy winter ingredients and sprinkling in plenty of festive cheer.
  Year 2 have been equally busy (and just as excited!) creating their adorable reindeer and snowman jars carefully designing and decorating each one to make them extra special.

  We can’t wait for you to see all of their amazing creations on Monday and we’re hoping to sell every single one to help raise lots of money for the school. Thank you for supporting our young entrepreneurs!

• PGA Golf Workshop

  Fri 07 Nov 2025

  This week every class took part in an exciting golf workshop led by a PGA professional. The children learnt the fundamentals of the golf swing and had the chance to put their new skills into action. We even had some real superstars who managed to get hole-in-ones!

• Year five and six residential updates!

  Wed 15 Oct 2025

  The residential children are now due back at 3.30

   

  Friday 17h October AM: The first full day must have worn the children out, because they all slept fabulously last night- and all were asleep around 10. They finished their day of activities with olympic activities and songs and riddles around the campfire. They enjoyed toasting marshmellows too. 

  Today they are completing their other activities, including taking part in nightline- a blindfolded obstacle course!

   

  We are due back for the end of the school day- but will let the office know if we are any later. Please also bare in mind it does take a few minutes to get the children off the bus- we are likely to unload children into the hall, with their suitcases before asking parents to collect.  

  Thursday 16th October PM: Day two has been a busy one! So far today the children have already been firing arrows at archery, working as a team whilst climbing Jacob's ladder and using their problem solving skills whilst den building. They are looking forward to sitting around a camp fire this evening, and the adults are hoping for another good night's sleep. 

   

  Thursday 16th October AM Everybody had a great first night, and a good night's sleep. The children were up bright and early this morning (some earlier than others) ready for breakfast and eager to face today's activities. 

   

  Wednesday 15th October: 6.30 pm-

  The children have settled into Kingswood. They have made their own beds (some with creative style) and have completed their first activities. Some of them have been building their own fires, whilst others have taken the leap of faith from the high ropes course. The children will now enjoy a scavenger hunt, followed then by putting their quizzing skills to the test. 

   

  Wednesday 15th October: 3.30pm- The year five and six team have arrived at Kingswood, and are looking forward to unpacking and getting started with their first activities. 

• The Skipping Ninja visits Manea

  Thu 11 Sep 2025

   

   

  We had an exciting day at school when The Skipping Ninja came to visit! The day began with a lively whole-school assembly where we were amazed by incredible skipping tricks and inspiring stories about perseverance and fitness. Afterwards, each year group enjoyed their own hands-on skipping workshop. Pupils learned new skills, from basic moves to impressive tricks, and everyone left buzzing with energy and enthusiasm. It was a fantastic way to promote fitness, fun, and teamwork across the school!
