We are joining in with Pyjamarama on Thursday 22nd May! Help us celebrate a love of reading by coming to school in your pyjamas!
Pyjamarama is an event run by BookTrust which is the UK’s largest children’s reading charity. They support millions of children in having access to books. If you would like to donate please click the link to donate.
We’ve had a great day celebrating the end of SATs which started with bacon sandwiches before competing in a dodgeball tournament. We then had a gorgeous time at the park this enjoying the new play area as well as ice cream!
Year 1 and 2 are very excited for their next visitors who are coming into school. They will be coming into school next week and the children will be blown away by this experience. We are asking for £4 per child towards the cost of this fantastic experience. Please pay for your child to experience this through parentpay. Thanks
Here’s a selection of beautiful work from across the XP Trust from this week. To read about other stories from across the XP Trust, visit xptrust.org.

Walk to School Week is run by the charity Living Streets and is a yearly event to raise awareness of walking and other active ways to travel. This year’s event will be taking place 19 – 23 May 2025. This year’s challenge will see pupils take on The Great Space Walk, encouraging them to travel actively to school every day of the week.
In Crew we will be sharing how we have travelled to school each day. I wonder if you’re up to the challenge?
Extra activities to get involved in:
You could even get involved by counting how many steps you walk each day.
Why don’t you design your own Spacesuit or Alien mascot for ‘Walk To School Week’
How would you design your own pair of walking shoes?
A great big thanks as usual to our parents and carers for a super fun and successful family learning event today. We used our crafting skills to make rockets just like the ones that the three astronauts we are learning about in our expedition might have used for their exciting journeys into space. It was wonderful to see the support and friendly competitiveness between both the children and their grown ups!
We know that the children love to work alongside their grown ups in school and we cannot thank you all enough for your unwavering support.
We hope you had a ‘blast’ (off)…see what I did there?

Well done to our Year 6 children who have worked incredibly hard on their SATs assessments all week. We’re really proud of the efforts they have put in and the resilience they have shown this week! As a surprise to celebrate the end of SATs, the children were given their leavers hoodies which look fabulous!
Just a reminder to bring in books so that they can be swapper tomorrow (Friday). We also have our extra PE session as well! 🙂
