Today our school came together to mark Remembrance Day. We began with a two-minute silence to remember and reflect on those who have served and sacrificed for our country. Reception created beautiful poppy handprint pictures, while KS1 used tissue paper to make their own poppies. All of their poppies were joined together to form a stunning poppy wreath now proudly displayed in school. KS2 read the poem 'In Flanders Fields' and reflected on its meaning. From this, the children sketched poppies and added thoughtful words inspired by the poem and discussion.

Ahoy, me hearties! What an incredible Pirate Day we've had at school! We learned all about life as a pirate, made our own hats and flags, played Captain's Orders, and even tried some pirate grub while sitting under the tables to feel like we were aboard a ship! The highlight of the day was a surprise delivery from a real pirate with a treasure map to follow! We some pirate phrases and used them throughout the day. What a fantastic start to Autumn 2 for years 1 and 2.

Yesterday we celebrated Odd Socks Day! A fun reminder that we're all unique and special in our own way. Our children rocked their mismatched socks to show that it's cool to be kind and to celebrate what makes us different.

Today our school came together to honour and remember the brave men and women who have served and continue to serve our country. Our pupils marked this special day with heartfelt poems, beautiful artwork, and a poppy wreath they created together. We also held a thoughtful assembly, where everyone took a moment to reflect on the importance of peace, courage, and gratitude. We are so proud of how our children showed respect and understanding during this meaningful occasion. Lest we forget.
