Science Week 2026 We had a wonderful time celebrating Science Week 2026! Classes have been working hard to complete a science investigation, where they followed a scientific method to answer a question posed. There have been a wide range of engaging, fascinating and mind-boggling experiments happening throughout the school, which presented excellent scientific learning opportunities to mark Science Week 2026! Our children have also been busy at home throughout the week, working towards completing their 'Power Projects'. These are based on their World Around Us topic and they incorporate a wide range of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Maths) activities. Our Key Stage Power project winners will be announced next week!

Join the Big Walk & Wheel Challenge! Get readynext week, Monday 23rd March to Friday 27th March, we are participating in the Big Walk and Wheel Challenge! Each morning, we are encouraging all pupils to walk, cycle, or scoot to school. It's a great way to stay active, help the planet and start your day feeling energised! Our school's Eco Committee will be keeping track of how many pupils actively travel to school each day. They will visit each class to record your scores, so make sure you're doing your best! At the end of the challenge, the class with the highest number of active travellers will win a special prize. How You Can Join In: Walk to school if you live nearby Scoot or cycle part of the way if the journey is longer Ask an adult to park a little further away so you can still walk the last bit Encourage your friends to join too! Let's work together, stay active, and make a positive difference to our environment. Get your wheels ready... let's walk, wheel, and win!
