Friday 4 April 2025 Book Swap 2025 On Wednesday, we were incredibly lucky to have volunteers from the Oxfordshire Children's Book Group come in to host our first ever "Book Swap". Lots of families donated books from home (thank you!) which meant that all children were able to go home with two (if not three) new books. We hope they will provide enjoyment over the Easter holidays and keep up that all-important habit of reading for pleasure!

Tuesday 25 March 2025 Year 1 visit Christchurch Cathedral Year 1 had a great visit to Christchurch Cathedral last Thursday. They explored different areas of the cathedral, admiring the beautiful stained-glass windows and the patterns on the ceiling. They had a go at baptising teddies over the font and learnt a song in Latin. It was a beautiful sunny day so they enjoyed walking around the court and loved seeing the ducks having a splash in the fountain!

Tuesday 11 March 2025 Music Assembly Last week ended on a high, with another concert for our Friday afternoon assembly. This time, thirty children performed, from youngest to oldest. There were performances on nine different instruments, showcasing a wealth of talent, and demonstrating what a wide variety of music-making goes on in school, usually unseen. The audience showed great respect in their listening and applause, and it was evident how much they enjoyed the more familiar tunes, as there were lots of humming voices and bopping heads! Congratulations to all the performers, for their hard work in practice throughout the year, and their inspiring courage in the concert.

Tuesday 4 March 2025 Ramadan It was lovely to hear from our children who observe Ramadan about what they are grateful for and how they will focus on this during Ramdan. The list included: 'my family; blessings; my friends; Allah; living life; good food; giving to others because it makes me feel good; having shelter, money, food and family because it's the month of giving; my family and a house because some people don't have them; my family, love, friends, home, food, religion, teachers, the mosque, trees, sun, moon, animals and Allah; and, in the words of one of our year 6 children: 'I am grateful for the healthiness that Allah gave me and the ability to be kind and respectful to others who seek help and advice.' Our thanks to Ms Raja who both presented in assembly and worked with the children to help them prepare.

Tuesday 10 December 2024 Year 6 visit Hampton Court Palace Year 6 had a fantastic visit to Hampton Court Palace last Thursday. This trip tied in with our Tudor history topic as well as our class reading book, Treason, and we were excited to spot lots of the period features mentioned in the novel like the 'eavesdroppers' in the ceiling of the Great Hall. During our action-packed day each class had a session investigating Henry VIII where we looked at the evidence for and against some popular ideas about the king. We also saw some incredible portraits of the Tudor monarchs, and a replica of Henry's crown. It was such a memorable day and so powerful to see real Tudor buildings and artefacts for ourselves.
