Year 1 were Animal explorers this morning! They learnt about different animal types, what they eat and their habitats! They held a python and met a tree frog, a giant millipede, a giant African snail, a giant African cockroach and a tarantula! Thanks to Eleanor from @zoolabuk

Well done to the children in Foundation and Year 1 who performed their poems so confidently this morning.

Star jumping for Cafod! Thank you to all the families who have sponsored the Year 1 children… just a few more days to send in your sponsorship money!

Year 2 raised money for CAFOD by completing a sponsored Scootathon. Each pupil completed 10 laps of the school playground, and together they achieved an incredible 600 laps! We discussed the difference their fundraising will make, helping those in need through CAFOD’s vital work.

Our School Council are stepping back in time today on a visit to Lincoln Castle! Exploring the historic Magna Carta and discovering the roots of democracy — future leaders learning from the past!

The School Council explored the mighty walls of Lincoln Castle, stepped into the story of the Battle of Hastings and uncovered the truth about King John! Did you know King John signed the Magna Carta in 1215 — a document that changed history forever?

Year 6 had a fantastic day at Holme Pierrepoint in the sunshine, as a reward for all their hard work this year. The mini golf and orienteering were lots of fun and we even learnt how to Kayak! What a great way to finish off a very busy week! Congratulations Y6, you are amazing!

This week the Yr 3 and 4 girls participated in a tournament at the Forest Recreational Ground. The children showed great team spirit and performed amazingly. Also a special mention for all the girls who took part in our football club this week and practiced their passing skills.

Years 3,4 & 5 enjoyed their pilgrimage to St Hugh’s church this morning. We were all Pilgrims of Hope, walking together in the faith, reflection and renewal. Thank you Deacon Anthony for leading the liturgy today.

Excitement in the air as our Year 6 children take their seats at the theatre to watch Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat! Ready for a dazzling journey through dreams, drama and dazzling colours!

What a fantastic performance of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat! Our Year 6 children left buzzing with excitement and inspiration — now even more ready to shine in their own show!

Yesterday, Year 6 went to the Birmingham Hippodrome to watch Joseph and the Amazing Technicoloured Dreamcoat. They loved every minute, singing along and joining in for the megamix at the end. What a fantastic show! They are now excited to start putting together their own version.

Year 4 visited Strelley Library yesterday where they took part in a workshop in preparation for World Empathy Week. The focus of the session was around  ‘Kindness’. The children were asked to write down different ways they can show kindness and shared stories in the garden.

Year 5 had a brilliant day at the National Civil War centre in Newark. The children loved the interactive activities, particularly the Arms and Armour session. They discovered more about the changes that took place in England at the time of the Civil War. National Civil War Centre

A huge well done to all our Stars of the Week, you are continuing to shine your light brightly. Thank you to our Bot Builders, who showcased their latest creations and gave us all a demonstration.

What an array of fantastic art work on display! The children have created an amazing gallery, which all of the school community have enjoyed.

We have been very busy in our school gardening club this week, taking out all the weeds, removing debris, and dead plants. Next week, we hope to begin the sowing process and plant some carrots, radishes and beans. A big thank you to all our parent helpers.

Today, the Eco-Team visited Conkers, where they started with a little splash in the splash pad and playground. The children went on a barefoot walk and through the meadow and took part in a flowers, trees and minibeast scavenger hunt. Afterwards, they completed an activity trail.

The children took part in a fun run at Trinity. They were all determined to do their best and everyone complete 3 or more laps of the course. Superb resilience and amazing teamwork. Well done, Year 4.

Following on from World Environment Day, the eco team have been collecting plastic bottle tops to create a piece of artwork. Today, in pairs, the children began designing their artwork. I can't wait to show you what they look like when they are finished.
