As part of our topic, ‘Toys Through Time’ we made a visit to the Discovery Museum. We had great fun exploring the museum, going on a toy hunt and participating in a workshop where we got the opportunity to handle a range of old and new toys. We then had to be toy detectives and solve clues to find the hidden toys around the museum! What a lovely way to end our topic!

Today we had a visitor from Nexus called Deborah who talked to us about railway safety. We learned the ‘5 Golden Railway Rules’ to keep us safe on and around trains.

What an exciting day we have had! Today we celebrated World Book Day and came to school dressed as book characters! Can you guess who we are?

Today we took part in the NSPCC’S Number Day 2025! We came to school dressed in numbers and played lots of number games with our friends. The money we have raised will help to support vital NSPCC services like Speak out Stay Safe, which visits primary schools across the UK to teach children about the dangers of abuse and what they can do if they need help.

This afternoon the children visited Father Bill to find out all about celebrations that take place in a church. The children listened carefully to Father Bill explain how different parts/artefacts in church are used during these celebrations. The children then got the opportunity to look around the church themselves, ticking on their ‘I Spy’ sheets when they found the; font, pews, church door, lectern, alter, hymn books, candle and cross.

Police Officer Darren paid reception a visit this afternoon to talk all about ‘stranger danger’, how the police look after us and what to do in an emergency. The children were so engaged and asked Darren lots of excellent questions! Darren was amazed at how many children knew their address and what number to ring in an emergency!

Today was a very exciting day as it was Christmas party day!! The children got dressed up in their best party clothes, danced, sang, played games and ate delicious party food! What a brilliant day!
