• Virtual Tour of a Synagogue

  Fri 01 Mar 2024

  As part of our R.E. topic ‘Who is Jewish and what do they believe?’ Year One were lucky enough to have a Zoom call with Jennifer, a local Jewish lady, in our lesson this week. We had prepared different questions for her which the children loved to ask. She took us on a virtual tour of her synagogue, showed us where the Torah scroll is kept and we learnt all about the objects she has in her home.

  

• Roots for a Wilder Future

  Thu 29 Feb 2024

  Year 3 had their first “Roots for a Wilder Future” session with Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust. They really enjoyed making their own wooden name tags, identifying woodland creatures and collecting items from around the playground to create nature art. Luckily, they have plenty more sessions with Rosie to learn more about nature and outdoor learning!

• Geography Awareness Week 2024

  Tue 09 Jan 2024

  This week the children have been so enthusiastic and engaged in our Geography Awareness Week.

  Across the school the children have enjoyed retrieval practice, learning about the UK’s capital cities and seas and the world’s continents and oceans.

  Each class has also been completing their own research and projects about one of the world’s continents. The children have been busy locating famous landmarks, tasting national foods, discovering flags, researching the wildlife that lives there and learning about traditions and cultures.

  A fantastic week had by all!

• Organ Recital

  Fri 08 Dec 2023

  Year 6 thoroughly enjoyed their educational music trip to Cheltenham Ladies College last Thursday where they learnt about the workings of a pipe organ and also had a go at playing. The pipe organ is a musical instrument that produces sound by driving pressurised air (called wind) through the organ pipes selected from a keyboard. A special thank you to Mr Williams for such an enriching experience for the children – they learnt lots about this instrument (including composition) and were totally inspired!
