  • Arthog Inspired Pottery - Year 6

    Published 14/02/25

    Following our visit to Arthog, Year 6 were given the opportunity to take part in drop-in pottery sessions during lunchtimes. This piece is quite large and has taken many weeks. The children have followed different processes to achieve the finished look. They began by planning which parts of their Arthog trip they wanted to include on the sculpture. We have the mines, Vernon's pool, and the beach. As well as the Welsh dragon sitting proudly on the top. If you look carefully, you will also see that the sculpture has a light inside, lighting up the beach nighttime sky and the inside of the mine.

    The finished piece is available to view in the Reception lobby if you would like to see it.

  • Young Voices 2025

    Published 07/02/25

    Last Friday, our fabulous Young Voices choir went off to the BP Pulse Live Arena, Birmingham, to perform in their own concert with children from other schools. We are so proud of the amazing children that worked so hard to learn the songs. They were an absolute credit to us and hopefully it has created a lasting memory. Even the coach driver - at 10:30pm (when we were all tired) - asked if he could make an announcement, because he felt he needed to commend the children for their manners and behaviour. A beautiful and special day that gave everyone an opportunity to see the children sparkle in ways that we don’t always capture in the same way on a daily basis. Thank you to all of the staff who have supported this venture and are already planning Young Voices 2026!

  • Bringing the garden space back to life

    Published 23/01/25

    The children in Reception and Year 1 have started work to bring a gardening space back to life. The children have chosen a magical garden theme, and have put together some ideas that they would like to add to the area, such as bird baths, feeders and wild flowers. We already have a bird box, mini beast hide and bat box in place.

    You can see from the before and after photos that it already looks better. And we plan on doing a lot more work over this term.

    If anyone has any seeds, tools, or items they think could be added to our garden, we would be very grateful.
