We've loved exploring the work of the brilliant poet Benjamin Zephaniah, which inspired some fantastic discussions and ideas. In writing, we had great fun diving into the nonsense and imagination of The Jaberwocky, while in maths we became experts at reading and creating line graphs. Alongside our learning, we really enjoyed celebrating Eid together, sharing joy and understanding as a class. A big thank you to everyone who took part in our exciting egg competition – there were some truly egg-cellent entries! Wishing you all a very Happy Easter and we can't wait to welcome you back for an equally exciting summer term!

They delivered an engaging workshop that helped children explore their feelings and emotions, offering practical techniques for understanding and managing them. The session encouraged pupils to reflect, share their ideas and support one another, helping them build confidence and emotional awareness. It was a positive experience that helped the children be better equipped to navigate their motions.

The children shared beautiful poems and thoughtful messages to remind her of the many happy memories they've shared together. Having been part of our school community for over 18 years, Mrs Todd has inspired countless pupils with her kindness, patience and love of learning. She will be greatly missed by everyone, and we hope she will visit us soon to see the wonderful legacy she leaves behind.
