KS1 had a fantastic time on Tuesday as we welcomed the Circus Sensible Team into school for an unforgettable  experience!

The day kicked off with an electrifying assembly, where  the children were wowed with amazing circus skills, instantly igniting their excitement for the day ahead.

Throughout the day, each class took part in hands on circus workshops, exploring activities like plate spinning, ribbon twirling, balancing and more. Every session was led by a skilled professional, ensuring all children (and teachers!) were supported and engaged as they learned new tricks.

The day ended with a show stopping finale, where children volunteered proudly demonstrated their new talents. It was a joy to see their confidence grow and their faces light up as they performed for their peers.

A big thank you to to all the children and staff who helped make the day so memorable. What a brilliant way to build confidence, coordination and teamwork – all while having fun!

What a wonderful start we’ve had in 2CN! The children have settled in brilliantly and we’ve had a fun-filled, creative and engaging first week together.

We kicked off our learning with the story The Colour Monster, a beautiful tale that helps children understand and talk about their emotions. The class was absolutely hooked! We learnt the model text together, adding our own fun actions to help us remember the story.

Taking it a step further, the children used their imaginations to write their own additions to the story — creating new emotions and linking them to different colours. It was inspiring to see such thoughtful and expressive writing so early in the year!

In art, we continued exploring emotions through creativity. The children loved working collaboratively, using a range of materials to represent each emotion visually. From textured collage to bold brushstrokes, each piece was unique and meaningful.

We’re so proud of how well everyone has started the year — we can’t wait for what’s to come!
