As a launch into our new topics across the school this half term we invited Creative Children’s Author – Adam Bushnell along to provide a first class engagement.

From forest dragons to splendid skies, gods and mortal to off with her head! The day inspired the children to find their love for reading and writing once again after the Christmas break 🙂

It was fantastic to see all of the children enthused in the workshops and putting all of their amazing imaginations out their through whether that be through storytelling, acting, writing, or drawing.

The writing that has since been produced from these sessions has been a fantastic read – we certainly have some future authors and illustrators 🙂

Huge well done to all of the children who have aimed high and achieved 100% attendance throughout the year so far! We are very proud of you!

Huge well done to the children who have also attained 96% or above which is national average – we know how hard it is to not be off a single day 🙂

Well done to Sophie in Class 1 once again for her amazing efforts in her dance exams.

We are soooo proud of you! 🙂

At our school Christmas Fair, Class 1 thought it would be a great idea to buy a hedgehog house for our school field!

We have been learning all about animals that hibernate so it was fantastic to get all of the children involved in helping our local wildlife in the winter months 🙂

Today we had a great afternoon playing festive games, dancing and eating party food at our whole school disco! It was fantastic to see all of the children having so much fun 🙂

Today we came into school to find a trail of Santa dust and a lot of destruction from our class elves!

Santa had written each one of us a personalised letter from EYFS right up to year 6 in response to the wonderful literacy letter writing we have been doing!

All week his little elves have been causing destruction in our classes….. here is some of the chaos caused in class 1!

All of the children had so much fun today wearing their festive jumpers and clothing and having a wonderful Christmas dinner. Thank you to all of the staff, lunchtime supervisors and most of all the Taylor Shaw kitchen staff! You cooked us up a treat!

We also raised a wonderful amount of money that we donated to St. Cuthbert’s Hospice – thank you once again for all of your kind donations.

Well done to one of our youngest children in school – Sophie!

You received dancer of the week for your cheer moves at your afterschool dance club! We are so proud 🙂
