The partial lunar eclipse in the UK will be visible – weather permitting – during the early hours of 14 March from 3:57 GMT before peaking at 6:19. The best chance of seeing it is by having a clear view of the western horizon.

We would love to see any pictures you manage to capture!

Year 6 Spelling Revision

11th March 2025Jillian Jackson

In the KS2 SATs, children are tested on spelling rules from Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6. On the attachment below, you will find an outline of each of the spelling rules, as well as words that meet the criteria of the rule. Over the next few weeks, it would be helpful for your child if they could discuss different spelling patterns at home and practice some of the words that may potentially be in the SATs test.

If you have any questions please ask a member of the Year 6 Staff Team. Thank you

Can you demonstrate changing state with something you have at home?

E.g. You could freeze water and melt ice cubes, melt chocolate, boil water etc. Take photographs and send to your class teacher so we can celebrate your science learning!

Crew Council / Extended Study- Kindness Week!

24th February 2025Sophie Myers

Before half term, Crew Council delivered some personalised kindness stones to show their appreciation for members of staff in school.

We spoke about how this links to our Character Trait of Compassion and how it was a rewarding experience for both those handing them out and for those receiving them.

Linking to Kindness Week – I wonder if you could show some compassion and kindness throughout this week?

You could:

  • Help tidy around the house
  • Be a good steward in the classroom
  • Shoutout for a crew member for something that they have done
  • Show your appreciation to someone in school or at home

I can’t wait to see lots of kindness and compassion around school!
