Have a look at the wonderful things we have been getting up to at school.

• Ocean awareness day

  Fri 13 Jun 2025

  What a wonderful morning we have all had! It started with School Council telling us about the ocean and then we had a quiz to test our knowledge. After that we split into our house colours and did 4 different activities: we did a dance about the ocean, we painted a picture of the ocean and the creatures in it, we wrote a prayer to save the oceans and we learnt about how to get rubbish out of the oceans with a science experiment.  Thank you to School Council for organising and thank you to everyone for your donations to the Marine Conservation Society.

• Viney Hill Christian Adventure Centre whole school trip

  Fri 11 Apr 2025

  Wow, what a day we all had yesterday at Viney Hill for our Easter story adventure day! We had children learning about trust on the climbing walls; sequencing the Easter story through orienteering and making bread over a camp fire and then sharing it together. Thank you to all the staff at school for making this day possible and thank you to all the children for showing a 'Love of Life' and giving things a go that pushed them out of their comfort zones.
