This week, some of our pupils visited The Time and Tide Museum in Great Yarmouth to enrich their learning about the Vikings. From exploring fascinating artefacts to discovering what life was really like for Viking settlers, it was a brilliant opportunity to bring history off the page and into real life. 

Thanks to all at Time and Tide for a fantastic voyage into the past. 
We had an oar-some time! 🪓🌊

The children in year three and four have just got The children in year three and four have just got back from a very wet and windy residential at the Wardens Trust! 🌧️

The children worked as a team to complete an orienteering challenge before hiking through the rain to the centre on Thursday. They then camped overnight, before an early morning of sunrise beachcombing, hiking the coastal path to Thorpe Ness and taking a blustery row across the mere! 

We are so proud of the children's resilience, determination and compassion for each other ❤️
The Henstead Hike Blessed with brilliant weather, The Henstead Hike
Blessed with brilliant weather, cheerful determination, and plenty of resilience, the girls, boys, mums, dads, grandparents—and even the dogs—powered through 10 miles on our annual Henstead Hike, exploring some of the most scenic corners of our local countryside. It was a wonderful reminder of the strength, spirit, and togetherness that make our community so special.

Well done to everyone for really going the extra mile!

Shining a Light on Creativity! Some of our young Shining a Light on Creativity! 

Some of our younger pupils have been busy creating these wonderful lighthouse dioramas, pictures and 3D models to complement the story they’re currently enjoying: The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch. Through their artwork, they’ve really brought the story to life, capturing the charm and character of the lighthouses just like in the book. 

We can’t wait to see what they create next.  Whatever it is, they're shore to succeed!
