Brilliant Bingo Bash! It was wonderful to see the Brilliant Bingo Bash!

It was wonderful to see the hall so full at our annual bingo event last week, with lots of our school families coming together for a great evening. A big thank you to Mr H, who was brilliant as our caller, to our PTFA who helped behind the scenes and to everyone who came with their dabbers at the ready.

A fun night, full of laughter and a great sense of community.  We loved every minute.

Eyes down… we’d definitely call that a full house! 🎉

🚑 Science in real life! Our pupils enjoyed a v 🚑 Science in real life!

Our pupils enjoyed a visit from Mr Saunders on Friday, who spoke to them about his work as a paramedic. It was perfectly timed with our current science learning about the circulatory system, the skeleton, muscles, and how diet and lifestyle affect our bodies and minds.

Hearing how this knowledge is used in real-life situations helped bring their learning to life and sparked lots of great questions! 🚑

🔬Curiosity in action during British Science Wee 🔬Curiosity in action during British Science Week 🔬

Our pupils had brilliant questions while exploring science this week:

🥛 What is milk made of?
🥚 Can a parachute carry an egg safely without it breaking?
🦷 And from one of our youngest pupils: “Do elephants really brush their teeth?” which led to our foamy elephant toothpaste experiment!

Curious minds, big questions and lots of exciting discoveries.
