On Thursday, children from Nursery all the way up to Year 6 became real-life detectives as part of our Science Week Crime Scene Investigation!
The mystery? Who crushed the biscuits in the staff room?!
Armed with their scientific skills, our young investigators examined the evidence using a range of exciting experiments and techniques. They carried out chromatography to analyse the ink from the mysterious note left at the scene, carefully measured footprints using different methods to identify the suspect, and even tested the force needed to break the biscuits to see if it matched the evidence!
Every class played a part, using observation, measurement, and scientific thinking to piece together the clues and solve the crime. It was fantastic to see such curiosity, teamwork, and enthusiasm for science across the whole school.

Today was an exciting day for our Science Week celebrations! All classes from Year 1 to Year 6 swapped teachers and worked with two new teachers to take part in two different science investigations.
From making oobleck and testing helicopters, to the egg drop challenge and The Great Biscuit Dunking Investigation, there was curiosity, laughter, and lots of learning happening across the school!
Pupils became real scientists, making predictions, discussing ideas, asking questions, carrying out investigations, and carefully recording their results. It was wonderful to see so much enthusiasm, teamwork and scientific thinking in action.
So much fun was had by everyone while exploring, discovering and learning together!

Today the whole school — from Nursery right up to Year 6 — took part in The Great Paper Towel Investigation!
Each year group explored the investigation in a way that suited their age and stage of learning. Across the school, children measured, tested and compared results using a range of methods including spoonfuls and millilitres. They recorded their findings using graphs, pictograms and other data displays, showing fantastic scientific thinking and teamwork.
It was wonderful to see the investigation approached in so many different ways across the year groups — and most importantly, we absolutely loved it!

Today we came together as a school family to take part in a special Lent livestream with Dan and Emily from One Life Music, alongside thousands of children from schools across the country. During the livestream, the children joined in with joyful songs, listened to scripture, and learned more about the different aspects of Lent. It was a wonderful opportunity for us to pause, reflect and begin our Lenten journey together in prayer and song.

Happy World Book Day 2026!
Year 6 had a fantastic day celebrating the joy of reading. Pupils dressed up as characters from their favourite books and shared a special Read Together session with Year 4, bringing stories to life and enjoying a book chosen by the Year 6 class.
We also explored the wonderful world of David Walliams, discovering his incredible talent for creating fun and unforgettable characters. To end the day on a creative note, we entered the National Book Token Design Competition — what a brilliant way to celebrate books and imagination!
