Welcome to our inaugural news blog! This will be used to report some of the great and wonderful activities and events that have been taking place throughout the school as well as communicating information.

Eid Celebrations enjoyed by all!! - Friday 7th May

To promote diversity amongst our school community we celebrated Eid last Friday as a school (at both our sites). Students took part in a variety of different activities to learn about, and celebrate the festival of Eid. Class parties were enjoyed by all!

As part of the day, students had the opportunity to experience a variety of food (very kindly donated by our friends at the Bay Leaf), enjoy listening to traditional music and also had the opportunity to experience henna tattoos.

Maths Week - 25 - 29th May

Students enjoyed taking part in a number of different maths activities. This year the theme was 'The Very Hungry Catterpillar'. The maths focus was time and number. Students created their own storyboards or books of the story, including the numerals, days of the week, times of the day, and the dates. In P.E. students were challenged with an assault course, where they had large inflatable foods on the way! The fruits from the story were used to create lovely tasty treats in food tech and students enjoyed doing some printing and symmetry pictures in art.
