We are thrilled to announce that we have been awarded an Inspire Grant to create “A Garden for Growth”! 
This isn’t just a garden—it’s a sanctuary designed to support our pupil’s emotional wellbeing and communication skills. From sensory zones filled with lavender and mint to quiet “calm corners” for reflection, this space will be the heart of our SEMH support.
What’s coming? 
Tactile play panels 
Soothing water features 
Edible herb & berry gardens 
An open-air outdoor classroom
We want YOU to be part of it! 
Whether you have a green thumb or just want to help us dig in, we’d love for our community to get involved. Please contact the school office if you’d like to help us bring this vision to life!
Let’s watch our pupils (and our plants!) bloom together. 
In 1 Red our Art lesson in LMTW was focused on light and shade. The children had to observe which way the light was reflecting on 3D shapes in order to be able to highlight the brightest spot where the light hits correctly and then they were able to create a core shadow by making part of the shape the darkest, so it was looking away from the light. Their images showed where the light was bouncing off the surface underneath the object, hitting the dark side which is called the reflected light. We definitely have some budding artists amongst us as their end products were fantastic!
This week Year 5 have been looking at Sikhism in R.E.
We decided to have our very own Sikh wedding, which the children planned and delivered themselves.
Each team had a project, we had: invitations, menus, decorations, looking after the bride and groom’s families, costumes and the ceremony committee. Every group had a specific job and worked amazingly well as a team to make sure the wedding went off without a hitch!
To celebrate, we had a party afterwards and celebrated the wedding in true Sikh fashion, with lots of music, dancing and laughter.
As part of our Jigsaw theme ‘Relationships’ we have been learning about the important people in our lives and how we can remember them. This week we created a memory box for a pet from a story. All of the children provided thoughtful items to add to the memory box. Well done year 4.
This week, we have been learning about the vibrant, colourful artwork of Romero Britto. The children created information pages about Britto (inspired by his art).

This half term in year 4 we have been learning how to make ‘bridges’. This week, we focused on making bridges using equipment.
Last week our Year Five and Six Young Sports Leaders attended a catch up event at Marine Park. This involved the boys completing an orienteering course around the park, using their skills to find clues. They gave an amazing performance showing maturity and resilience throughout the day.
Well done to our Sports Leaders!
