Mrs Hirst news
This week, I would like to place a special spotlight on learning—something at the heart of everything we do here at school. This week alone, I have seen excellent knowledge of the solar system, read terrifying Egyptian stories, seen some super phonics learning and been busy in the craft area in Maple! Across all year groups, it has been inspiring to see pupils engaging so enthusiastically with their learning. Classrooms are filled with curiosity, questions, and a genuine desire to challenge themselves. Whether through developing core skills in English and maths, exploring new ideas in science, or expressing creativity in the arts, our children are demonstrating a growing confidence and independence in their learning. It’s wonderful to see how much the children are learning and achieving, and we can’t wait to see where their curiosity takes them next.

Wishing you a restful weekend ahead.

Warm regards,
Mrs Hirst
