Year 3 - Safer Internet Day 2026
Date: 11th Feb 2026 @ 9:09am
To celebrate Safer Internet Day, Year 3 took part in a special live BBC lesson all about staying safe and smart online. The session helped us think about how we use the internet every day and why it’s important to make good choices whenever we are using technology.
One of the key messages we explored was the importance of checking information—especially when it comes from AI tools. We learned that although AI can be very helpful, it doesn’t always get things right. The children practised spotting mistakes, asking questions, and thinking carefully before believing or sharing information they see online.
The class showed brilliant curiosity and gave thoughtful examples of times when they needed to check facts. Overall, it was a valuable session that reminded us all to stay critical, kind, and safe when using the internet.

Year 3 have taken part in a series of RSE lessons designed to help them understand their bodies, stay safe, and appreciate the diversity of families.
In our first lesson, children learned the correct names for male and female body parts. Using accurate vocabulary helps them understand their bodies and communicate clearly if they ever need support.
The second lesson focused on personal boundaries. We discussed appropriate and inappropriate touch and identified trusted adults they can speak to if they ever feel worried. The children also enjoyed singing the PANTS song: “What’s in my pants belongs only to me!”, which reinforced the message that their body is their own.
In the final lesson, we explored different types of families. Children shared examples and recognised that families can look different, but all are built on love and care.
The class showed maturity, respect, and thoughtful engagement throughout.
Nursery Like to Ride Their Bicycles!
Date: 10th Feb 2026 @ 9:46pm
Nursery had a super time on the balance bikes. They took them out on the big playground where they learnt to steer around obstacles, vary their speed and stop safely. Balance bikes are a great way to build core strength becausse the children rely on their core stength to stay upright, propel the bike forward and steer.

Year 6 Write Powerful Lindisfarne Monologues
This week, Year 6 have been learning about the Viking attack on Lindisfarne in 793 AD. To help them understand what it might have felt like, the children wrote monologues from the point of view of a monk living in the monastery.
✍️ What We Did
The class learned about:
- What life was like for monks
- How the Vikings arrived on longships
- Why the attack was so shocking
- How to show a character’s thoughts and feelings in writing
After this, the children imagined they were monks and wrote their own monologues describing the terrifying moment the Vikings arrived.
🌟 What We’re Proud Of
The monologues were:
- Detailed – with great descriptions of sounds, sights, and emotions
- Creative – many children used strong vocabulary and dramatic language
- Thoughtful – the writing showed real understanding of how the monks might have felt
Year 6 worked extremely hard and produced some fantastic pieces of writing!

🌐 Year 6 Take Part in Safer Internet Day!
This week, Year 6 celebrated Safer Internet Day. We spent time talking about how to stay safe online and how to make good choices when using the internet.
We shared how we use the internet every day — for games, videos, chatting and learning — and we discussed how to use it responsibly.
🤖 Learning About AI: The Good and the Bad
After Safer Internet Day, we explored Artificial Intelligence (AI).
We found out that AI is all around us — in games, phones, search engines and even spelling tools!
🌟 What We Did:
1. Real or AI?
We looked at pictures and writing to see if they were made by a person or by AI. Some were tricky!
2. Spot the Problem
We talked about how AI can be misused, such as:
- spreading wrong information,
- copying work,
- changing photos,
- making things that could upset someone.
3. Making Good Choices
In groups, we discussed how to use AI safely and fairly.
💡 What We Learned
Year 6 discovered that:
- AI can be helpful — but it sometimes makes mistakes.
- Not everything online is real.
- We should always think carefully before sharing or believing something.
- If we are unsure, we should ask a trusted adult.

🍕 Year 6’s Brilliant Build‑Your‑Own Pizza Day!
Today, Year 6 swapped their pens and pencils for aprons and rolling pins as we spent the whole day becoming real‑life pizza chefs! From mixing flour and yeast to taste‑testing our final creations, it was a day full of teamwork, creativity, and (of course) delicious food.
👩🍳 Step 1: Making the Dough
We kicked things off by learning how proper pizza dough is made. Flour everywhere? Yes. Sticky hands? Definitely. Giggles and excitement? Absolutely!
Everyone worked hard to knead their own ball of dough until it was soft, stretchy, and ready to rise. Some students even discovered they had a natural talent for kneading!
🔪 Step 2: Chopping the Toppings
While the dough rested, we moved on to preparing our toppings. The classroom quickly turned into a colourful kitchen full of chopped peppers, onions, mushrooms, sweetcorn, and more.
We practised our safe cutting techniques, and it was amazing to see how confident and careful everyone was.
🎨 Step 3: Designing Our Own Pizzas
This was where the creativity really took off! Once the dough was rolled out, each student designed a pizza that truly showed their personality.
There were smiley‑face pizzas, rainbow‑topping pizzas, and even some very cheesy creations. Everyone took great care arranging their toppings just the way they wanted.
🔥 Step 4: Into the Oven They Go!
Next came the moment of truth! One by one, our pizzas went into the oven, filling the room with the mouth‑watering smell of fresh baking dough.
The excitement grew as each pizza came out looking golden, bubbling, and absolutely delicious.
😋 Step 5: The Best Part – Eating Them!
After all our hard work, we finally got to taste the results. And what a success!
Not only did the pizzas look amazing, but they tasted fantastic too. Many students said this was the best pizza they had ever had—and the secret ingredient? Making it themselves!

Safer Internet Day 2026 – Learning Together for a Safer Digital Future
This week, our whole school joined millions of children across the country in celebrating Safer Internet Day 2026. The theme this year focuses on helping young people use technology responsibly, especially as new tools—like artificial intelligence—become a bigger part of everyday life.
To kick off our learning, the children took part in the BBC Live Lesson, which explored how to stay safe, make thoughtful choices online and recognise when something doesn’t seem quite right. The interactive format kept pupils engaged, and they particularly enjoyed the real-life scenarios that helped them think about how to be kind and responsible digital citizens.
We also held a whole-school assembly dedicated to the safe and sensible use of AI. Together, we discussed what AI is, how it can be helpful, and—most importantly—how to use it safely. Pupils learned how AI tools work, why it’s important not to share personal information, and how to seek help from a trusted adult if something online makes them feel unsure.
Thank you for continuing to support safe and positive online habits at home. By working together, we can help our children navigate the digital world with confidence and care.

KS2 Learns About Hinduism in a Special Assembly
This week, KS2 enjoyed a wonderful assembly led by a British Hindu visitor who came in to share her experiences and teach us all about Hinduism. She explained that Hinduism is one of the world’s oldest religions and that many Hindus believe in one supreme spirit, Brahman, understood through different deities such as Vishnu, Shiva, and Lakshmi.
We learned about puja, a type of worship that can take place at home or in a temple, and how many Hindu families keep a small shrine where they offer flowers, food, or light a lamp. She also told us about colourful festivals like Holi, which celebrates spring and new beginnings, and Diwali, the festival of lights.
The assembly was engaging, informative, and a brilliant way for KS2 to deepen their understanding of Hindu beliefs and traditions.

They worked brilliantly together, using their loud, clear voices and putting real enthusiasm into every line. The recording session gave them a fantastic preview of what it will feel like to perform on the big stage, and their energy was wonderful to see. We can’t wait to hear the final performance—well done, everyone!
Year 2- Story Telling Workshop!
Date: 9th Feb 2026 @ 9:16am
The children learned how sound can bring a story to life, create mood and atmosphere, and help the audience connect with the characters. They listened carefully, joined in with activities, and had lots of fun experimenting with how music can change the feeling of a scene.
