PIRATE DAY! WOW... what a day! Why are we dressed as pirates? ...because we AAAARRRRRE! We've walked the plank , eaten lots of delicious pirate cake , played "pin the eye patch on the pirate" , and gone on treasure hunts all around school What an amazing way to end the term! Have the BEST week off in the sunshine, our little pirates!

Bubbles for the Bumblebees this afternoon! Lots of sensory fun in the classroom today, with the children enjoying popping and exploring bubbles!

With the beautiful weather forecast, we're excited to bring forward one of our firm favourites... Freezer Pop Fridays! Ice pops will be on sale this Friday at 3.15pm, for 50p each!

Instead of our usual celebration assembly today, the children enjoyed a very special treat from the Newhall Junior School choir – and what a treat it was! Take a look at our amazing sea of green as we came together to raise awareness for Mental Health Awareness Week A big thank you to the choir for such a lovely performance – it really brightened our day!

Gresley Rovers Girls FC are still looking for Year 2 girls to come and join the fun! We already have some of our girls attending these sessions and loving it – it would be fantastic to see even more of you there! Come along, get involved and have a go!

To celebrate the end of a wonderful term and the end of our Land Ahoy! topic, we are very excited to be hosting a BIG Pirate Party next Friday! Children are invited to come dressed in their pirate costumes (optional but definitely encouraged!) or they can wear non-uniform of their choice We have a fun-packed day planned, including: Walk the plank Pin the eye patch on the pirate Treasure hunts around school ...and lots more pirate-themed fun! It's going to be an amazing day and one they won't want to miss!

Year 1 get moving with Joe Wicks! Today they took part in an interactive PE lesson with Joe Wicks, joining over 6,000 schools across the country! As part of Mental Health Awareness, the session included a fantastic live workout alongside a discussion about how exercise makes us feel . The children loved getting active, having fun, and learning how movement can boost our mood and wellbeing! A brilliant experience for all involved – well done Year 1! Don't forget! Tomorrow we are inviting everyone to wear green to help raise awareness for mental health and show our support
