Winton House
Tue 15 Jul 2025A group of our Year 4 pupils enjoyed an interesting visit to Winton House, last week, where the residents were commemorating the life of Sir Nicholas Winton who worked tirelessly all throughout his life to help those in need. He is well known for helping hundreds of children escape Czechoslovakia before the start of World War 2 and ensuring they were housed and educated in Britain. Sir Nicholas Wintons' son spent time talking about his father with the children and sharing some inspiring thoughts for the children to ponder on. The children had time to reflect on a man who, in his son's words, "decided to get involved" and to not "live life as a passenger". He asked the children to always consider people as "envelopes" because "it's what's inside that matters".

My Happy Mind
Fri 04 Jul 2025On Tuesday Mrs Redvers led an information session to parents about the ‘My Happy Mind’ programme that is being taught in school. It was a hugely informative session, and the children involved spoke so clearly and eloquently about the function of the brain and how our ‘happy breathing’ can help us when we are feeling anxious. Thank you to Mrs Redvers for leading this initiative so passionately for the benefit of all the children.

Congratulations also to our three runners up, Eve, Gianna and Nino who also made delicious cakes. (Photos of all the 4 cakes are on our school website, Instagram and Twitter). Many thanks to Mrs Groves, who volunteered her time to come in and bake with all the children.

Lulius Marcellinus, our legionary soldier, took them through life as a Roman landing in Britain - from authentic army training to tasting a 2000 year-old lentil stew and becoming a history detective.
