Friday 24th October 2025

In assembly on Monday, we learned about Diwali, the Hindu "festival of light" which has been taking place this week. We found out how it was celebrated across the world, in Britain and by families within our own school community.  We also reflected on what was similar and what was different about how Diwali was celebrated compared to other important festivals in our wider community. Over the rest of the week, children in every class have been creating artwork with a Diwali theme. It was great to have so many of our children wearing their celebration clothes to school today today to mark the festival.

Our Values Certificates were awarded in our Friday Celebration Assembly. This week's winners were Dylan, Benaiah, George, Sonny, Rowan, Barney, Ezra, Josh, Rafi, Chase, Mikey and Belle.

Year 1 Windmill Hill City Farm Trip

This week Year 1 went down to Windmill Hill City Farm to learn all about seasonal changes and how this affects the farm. We found out what they did with all the autumn leaves (and poo). We picked and pressed apples to make fresh apple juice and we even fed the animals. Thank you to the adults who came along to make it possible. We had a wonderful time!

Harvest Donations

Thank you so much for all your generous donations for Victoria Park food bank.  Today the school council delivered all the donations and they were very greatfully received.  The children helped sort all the donations and learnt how the volunteers  run the foodbank.  The children were excellent ambassadors for our school and were polite and respectful throughout the trip, we are very proud of them.

Attendance and Punctuality

We have had a great term for attendance and have managed to stay above our school target of 96%.  Thank you everyone for your continued support in ensuring your child is in school every day.

These are the results for last week in school.  Next term we will be announcing the winning class for term 1 for Attendance and for Punctuality.
