• When You Wish Upon A Star - Easter Hamper

  Mon 23 Mar 2026

  We are inviting our children to support a very special Easter fundraising event in aid of 'When You Wish Upon A Star', a wonderful charity that grants magical wishes to children living with life-threatening illnesses.

   

  Children can win the Easter hamper (photo attached) by guessing the name of the Jellycat bunny inside. There are 200 entries with a maximum of 2 entries per child at £2 a go (cash only). Please come to the office at drop off or pick up to take part. The competition will close next Wednesday, 1st April and the winner will be announced on Thursday 2nd April.

   

  When You Wish Upon A Star grants wishes to children across the UK who are living with life-threatening conditions, creating precious memories for them and their families during incredibly difficult times. Your support will make a real difference to these children and their loved ones. All proceeds from the event will go directly to When You Wish Upon A Star to help them continue their incredible work.

• World Book Day Fairytale doors

  Tue 11 Mar 2025

  As part of our World Book Day celebrations, each class chose a fairy tale to build their learning around.

  Part of our learning was to create a classroom door based on the story.

   

  At the end of the 2 days, Mrs Murdoch and Mrs Urquhart judged the doors and chose Year 4 as the winning door in KS2 and Year 2 as the winning KS1 door.

  Well done to all of the classes! All of the doors look amazing!
