Year 3 to the Natural History Museum

Year 3 had an exciting trip to the Natural History Museum this week. After a long journey, the children were thrilled to experience the roaring dinosaurs, take part in a real-life earthquake simulator, and learn about the destruction caused by earthquakes and volcanoes. It was a fantastic educational experience, and all the children were exceptionally well behaved throughout the day. Everyone had a wonderful time and came away with lots of exciting memories to share.

 “It was so fun because on the train I gave up my seat to an old person and she was very   appreciative of it!” - Samia 3B

“I liked it when I saw the dinosaur roaring at us. It was because it was so fun and I really liked it.” - Isatu 3P

Year 4 Sleepover

Our Year 4s had an absolute blast at their school sleepover! The night was packed with non-stop giggles, fun and unforgettable memories. The adventure began with a trip to the park for some outdoor fun, followed by a delicious dinner back at school—where the garlic bread was the star of the show! After setting up our sleeping spaces, everyone wound down with a cozy movie night.

Here is what some of our  Year 4s wanted to share: 

"I loved when we got to have a little chat before bed with our friends." — Amra

“The sleepover was really fun because I got to sleep with my friends” 

“I really liked how we all got to sit together and watch a movie with snacks!” Aleena 

"It was an unbelievable night, but top tip for next year - SLEEP!" — Patrick

With that advice in mind, we are sure both the children and our wonderful teachers will sleep very well tonight!

Year 2 Science Trip to Southend-On-Sea

We are delighted to announce that Year 2 will be visiting Southend-on-Sea on Tuesday 23rd June 2026 as part of their science learning. The trip will support our topic, Living Things and Their Habitats, giving pupils the opportunity to explore coastal environments and observe living things in their natural habitats. We are looking forward to a fun, engaging, and educational day by the seaside. Please keep an eye out for more information on Arbor, coming soon.

Hindu Workshop
On Wednesday, Year 4 took part in an engaging workshop on Hinduism ahead of our upcoming RE unit next term. Mr Nabhi visited the school to explain Hindu beliefs and ways of life, and the children enjoyed asking thoughtful questions to deepen their understanding.

“Mr Nabhi had a horn, it was like the seaside” - Leo

“We learned that Hindu people believe if we die as a human, your soul doesn’t die. Instead it goes into a different person/animal or object.” - Maisha
