GT Arts Festival: Performance Poetry Workshop

Last Friday saw the return of our Green Top Arts Festival, a day totally dedicated to the Arts and performance – in all its guises! To start the day, children were able to select from a wide range of teacher-led workshops – from dance to cartoon drawing to music and singing – there really was something for everyone!

I thoroughly enjoyed working with the fabulous bunch of pupils who opted for my performance poetry session, where children worked collaboratively to recite and perform a poem all about different types of animals. I was blown away by the leadership and teamwork on display in the different groups, and even more so by the fabulous performances crafted by the children themselves in such a short time. Well done everyone! Mrs Dutton x

Sweet Tuck Shop


The Sweet Tuck Shop Trolley will be rolling into school on Wednesday and Thursday next week, and it’s packed with goodies!


Mrs Fitzpatrick will be visiting classrooms with the tuck shop trolley, giving everyone the chance to choose from a selection of tasty sweets.


Prices range from 50p to £3, so don’t forget to bring a little pocket money if you’d like to buy something!


This is always a popular event with pupils — a great way to enjoy a little treat and practise making choices and handling money.


We can’t wait to see what everyone picks!

Crew Wallace Transition

We had such a lovely and exciting 2 days for Transition in Crew Wallace. The children played beautifully together and were so brave in the first step of their new chapter. We played, talked, sang songs and learned about each other. It was wonderful.


A huge thanks to parents and carers for supporting us with your little ones next steps.

We hope they enjoyed it as much as we did. We can’t wait to see you all again in August.

Crew Knowles – transition day 2!

Another lovely day today to finish our transition! I’m so looking forward to starting the new year with my lovely class! We enjoyed lots of team building games this morning to strengthen our crew relationships.

Reception transition day 2!

What a beautiful final transition day it has been! The children were absolutely amazing—super confident, joyful, and clearly ready to begin their exciting Reception journey. Their enthusiasm and independence shone through, making us incredibly proud of how far they’ve come already. A heartfelt thank you to all the parents who were able to join us for our “Sharing Stories” session at the end of the day—it was so special to celebrate this moment together. We can’t wait to welcome your little ones back as they officially begin this next chapter!

Crew Knowles – Transition

We’ve had a lovely today thinking about enrichment, the Zones of Regulation and maths stories! Here we are thinking about the Zones of Regulation and thinking about which emotion matches which zone. Great work everyone – I’m looking forward to tomorrow!
