Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Year 5 and 6 thoroughly enjoyed their gymnastics lesson this week with Imogen. The children learned and practised key movements including straddle, pike and tuck, before confidently applying these shapes within a range of jumps. It was fantastic to see pupils developing their control, balance and confidence as they linked movements together and performed some impressive sequences.
Ten of our fantastic Year 4, 5 and 6 pupils took part in the Panathlon at Neale-Wade Academy, where they competed in a wide range of exciting and inclusive challenges. The children showed incredible determination, teamwork and resilience throughout the event and performed amazingly, finishing in first place overall. We are extremely proud of their outstanding effort, sportsmanship and positive attitude – a brilliant achievement for everyone involved! 🏆👏
Our year three and four children, had an amazing time away at Burwell house this week. They were an absolute credit to our school, working fantastically together as a team- and developing their independence skills, even making their own beds. Have a look at the class news page to see photos.
Thursday PM- The children have all been having lots of fun with team challenges this morning. They got muddy then had a treat with cake this afternoon! They are looking forward to a good sleep tonight.

KS1 Art – Simple Print Making
Year 1 and 2 have begun their new art topic this week: simple print making. In their first lesson, the children explored how to use materials creatively by designing and making prints using parts of their bodies.
The children used only their fingers and hands to create their artwork and were challenged to work with just the primary colours – red, yellow and blue. They experimented with pressing, dabbing and mixing colours to create different patterns and effects.
It was a very messy afternoon, but the children had great fun and produced some amazing artwork. Take a look at the fantastic prints on our class page that they created using only their fingers and hands!
The children have arrived safely and are doing a treasure hunt around the grounds to get used to the surroundings.
Reception have worked really hard in their first term at school and celebrated with marshmallows around the fire. Go to our webpage to find out more!
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.
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!
Eight of our Year 5 and 6 girls represented the school brilliantly at the Tag Rugby Festival held at Ely Rugby Club. Throughout the afternoon, the team showed determination, teamwork and a growing sense of confidence, securing three victories out of their eight games. Their enthusiasm never wavered, and they approached every match with a positive attitude and fantastic effort. At the end of the festival, each player proudly received a medal in recognition of their hard work and excellent sportsmanship. Well done, girls!
