Year 1 OAA Festival at South Marine Park

17th June 2025 By kmcvittie

Year 1 had a fantastic time taking part in the OAA (Outdoor Adventurous Activities) Festival at South Marine Park! The children worked brilliantly in teams as they used maps to find clues around the park. The maps also helped them to identify places where they could collect natural materials to build a cosy house for a bear. It was a wonderful day filled with teamwork, problem-solving, and lots of outdoor fun!

Incredible Illustrations with Liz Million

16th June 2025 By lusher

We were thrilled to welcome Liz Million to our school this week for a fun and inspiring visit. The day began with a whole-school assembly where Liz introduced herself and shared the story of how she became a professional illustrator. Liz’s energy and enthusiasm were infectious, and the children were fascinated to hear about the books she’s worked on and the creative process behind her illustrations.

Throughout the day, each class took part in hands-on workshops led by Liz, where they learned some of her top tips for drawing. With a theme of ‘All God’s Creatures,’ the children explored how to bring animals to life on the page using simple shapes (like tacos, potatoes, and door arches) as the building blocks for their drawings. It was incredible to see how quickly Liz could create a character and even more exciting to see the amazing artwork the children produced using her techniques.

The day was a wonderful celebration of creativity, and it was clear from the smiles and laughter that Liz inspired a lot of budding young artists!

Easter Mystery

10th April 2025 By carolinekennedy

On the last day of term, children in EYFS and KS1 will be given a copy of The Easter Story to share with their families at home.  KS2 children will be given a copy of the Stations of the Cross, with images drawn by the Mini Vinnies, to take home to share with their families also.


By sharing the Easter story and the Passion of Christ, we remember the life, death and resurrection of Jesus.  As a family, please take time to stop and think about the true meaning of Easter.

We wish you all a happy, healthy and holy Easter!

Yr 1’s Celebration of the Word – Meals

17th March 2025 By kmcvittie

Year 1 led a beautiful Celebration of the Word on the theme of Meals, reflecting on the special meals we share and the most important meal of all – the Mass.

Through prayers, songs, and scripture, the children thought about how Jesus shared meals with his friends and gave us the gift of the Eucharist. They shared their own memories of special meals with family and friends, reminding us of the joy of coming together.

Year 1 @ The Open Zone

4th February 2025 By kmcvittie

Our Year 1 children had an amazing time at the Open Zone, where they became digital animators for the morning! Using iPads, they explored creative storytelling through the ChatterPix and Puppet Pals apps.

The children brought characters to life by adding images, toys, and even themselves into their mini videos. They loved recording their own voices, making their characters talk, and watching their animations come to life! This hands-on experience helped them develop important digital skills while having lots of fun.

It was wonderful to see their creativity shine as they worked together to produce fantastic short animations. A big thank you to the staff at Open Zone for an inspiring session!

Hey Ewe!

12th December 2024 By kmcvittie

This Christmas, the infants delighted audiences with their heart-warming and humorous performance of Hey Ewe! – a fresh take on the traditional Nativity story, told through the eyes of an excitable and curious young sheep.

The youngest ewe in the flock, full of questions and boundless energy, charmed everyone with her inquisitive nature. While the rest of the sheep were happy to stick to their routines, she found herself drawn into the extraordinary events surrounding the birth of Jesus. From shepherds and angels to a very special baby, her curiosity led the audience on a magical journey, reminding us all to see the wonder of the Nativity with fresh eyes.

The children shone on stage, their enthusiasm and joy capturing the true spirit of the season.

A huge well done to all the children who worked so hard to make this year’s production a success. Merry Christmas!

A Magical Visit from Father Christmas

11th December 2024 By kmcvittie

Today was full of Christmas magic as we celebrated Christmas Pyjama Day! The children arrived in their cosiest pyjamas, ready for a day of festive fun.

We gathered around the Christmas tree for a special storytime when, to our amazement, Father Christmas himself made a surprise appearance! The excitement was electric as he joined us by the tree to share one of his favourite stories, The Gruffalo.

After the story, Father Christmas answered some of the children’s curious questions—there were plenty! The children couldn’t wait to tell him all about the mischief their naughty elves had been causing at home.

It was a truly magical moment! Thank you, Father Christmas, for making our day so special!
