Today, our junior children and staff transformed into Victorians as we turned the school into a fully immersive Victorian classroom experience. From bonnets to waistcoats, everyone dressed the part — and our teachers took on the role of strict Victorian schoolmasters and mistresses, complete with chalkboards and stern faces!
It was a brilliant way for our children to experience history first-hand, learning what school life was like over a century ago. A huge well done to all involved — the costumes, the acting, and the enthusiasm were absolutely fantastic.
Harriers class had a lovely trip to the local library to choose some books for home and class. Thank you to all the parents that came along and supported the visit.
Amazing visit from B.Ware last week who shared her latest book with the children and led workshops for them.
Hawks Class recently joined thousands of schools across the country—and celebrity chef Jamie Oliver—in an exciting attempt to break a Guinness World Record for the most groups cooking simultaneously!
As part of the challenge, the pupils prepared a delicious tomato pasta dish, learning valuable cooking skills along the way. The cookery room was filled with wonderful aromas and even more smiles, as everyone thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
We’re now eagerly awaiting confirmation from Guinness World Records to see if the record has officially been broken. Fingers crossed!
Well done to our girls football team who finished second in the GPJ tournament yesterday.
Well done to our football team who took part in today's competition. Once again the team played brilliantly, finishing third in their group.
Well done to our team of maths champions who took part in a maths tournament at Five Acres High School. The children performed brilliantly finishing 4th overall.
Great result by our cricket squad yesterday with one team winning the district event and qualifying for the county final and the other team narrowly missing out on a semi-final place. Superb effort by all!
A great way to end this week with a win for our tag rugby team. They took part in the Prostars tournament today with both teams playing brilliantly throughout. Fabulous effort squad!
A great third place finish for our year 5/6 football team in yesterday's tournament. They beat the eventual winners of the competition during the afternoon, playing exceptionally well through out.
Our Year 5 and 6 pupils took part in engaging drama workshops based on Farmer and the Clown, generously funded by ArtSpace. These sessions offered a fantastic opportunity for children to immerse themselves in the performing arts—an especially meaningful experience as the show was developed right here in the Forest of Dean.
Throughout the day, the children enthusiastically explored a variety of roles, showcasing their creativity and theatrical talents. The workshops culminated in a special performance of Farmer and the Clown by the talented actors, which children and parents thoroughly enjoyed.
It was a memorable day that highlighted the importance of arts in education and the power of local storytelling.
