Be Ready (Enrichment) – Year 1 trip to Warwick Castle
Mon 12 May 2025What a fantastic trip to Warwick castle. The children were amazing and engaged positively in all the fun activities. They loved finding out about castle life, murder holes and what was used to fill the moat to put people off attacking the castle! The children enjoyed eating their lunches in the sunshine, whilst beautiful birds of prey swooped close over their heads. All children showed impressive determination when climbing hundreds of steps to reach the top of the very tall tower. To finish the day the children enjoyed meeting Zog himself and a fun play session on the Zog Adventure Playground! What an amazing day!

Be Ready – Boys’ Rushcliffe Cup
Mon 12 May 2025The boys played St Edmund Campion on Tuesday on the Semi-final of the Rushcliffe cup. It was a good game and the boys played some excellent football. It was a super 4-0 victory which ensured their place in the final which was played last night. We played against a very strong Heyman side. The boys were all outstanding and won the final 2-0. Special mention to Reuben for stepping in goal for the injured Fin and playing brilliantly. Well done boys, the second trophy of the year.

Be Ready – Year 5 visit the air raid shelter
Mon 12 May 2025To support their understanding of their topic on World War 2, the children in year 5 walked to the air raid shelter in West Bridgford yesterday. It was fitting that this happened on VE day too. The children learnt about what life was life during the war and in particular the Blitz. The children discussed what it would have been like living in a time of war and how cramped and difficult it would have been sharing such a small place with lots of other people. A really interesting way to enrich the curriculum and a great way to bring history to life.

Be Ready – Assembly this week
Mon 12 May 2025This week, we used our assembly to talk to the children about VE day. We asked the children what they knew about VE day and why it is important that we talk about and remember the end of the Second World War. We discussed with the children the impact of the war, the fact that millions of people throughout Europe lost their lives and the social impact of the war too. We also asked the children to wear red, white and blue on Thursday. This was an opportunity for the children to show their support and understanding of VE day and we took part in a 2-minute silence to ask the children to think about those that lost their lives during the war.

Growing together – OPAL
Tue 06 May 2025Mrs Keane met with the play leaders this week to further develop them as leaders. They were asked what they felt is working well and what they had noticed at lunchtime. Mrs Keane worked with them on the types of activities and games they can play with the children and they came up with some that they can play as game of the day. This will be shared with the children in the OPAL assembly next week and they started introducing them this week. This game will be ruin by the play leaders and any children can take part.
We are still open for any donations. Please leave any donation in the bag hanging on the fence or larger items at the front of the school.
This week’s photos show the playleaders setting up ‘The Floor is Lava’ as the game of the day and the children in year 6 enjoying a game of cricket.

Be safe – Smart Phone Free Schools meeting
Tue 06 May 2025Thank you to all the parents who attended the smartphone free schools meeting on Wednesday. We invited in Stephanie who is a parent who lives in Lady Bay who is an advocate for smartphone free schools. We looked at the risks and dangers of children having a smartphone and the pressure parents feel getting their child a smartphone (particularly with the transition to year 7) There was no judgement during the meeting and I shared my experience too as I have a boy in year 7 and we certainly felt the pressure to get my son a phone.
