Instead of using pencils and paper, the children wrote carefully on slate boards with chalk, just like Victorian pupils once did. The classroom echoed with the sound of chanting as the children joined in with arithmetic drills and recited…

On Wednesday 2 July the LinC took part in a fabulous forest school session. The children immersed themselves in a variety of hands-on, nature-inspired activities. They crafted log necklaces and embarked on an exciting bug hunt, using magnifying glasses to discover the tiny creatures hidden beneath logs and leaves. Creativity flowed as they painted with natural materials – using leaves, sticks and other natural materials to print patterns and textures onto paper.

Best buddies
Buddies for life One of the most cherished traditions at our school is the special buddy relationship between our Year 6 and Reception children.

Over the year, this bond blossoms as the older children take on a mentoring role – offering support, friendship and guidance to help Reception children settle in and thrive. Following their SATs, our Year 6 pupils celebrated with their Reception buddies by walking to the local park for a fun play session, followed by…
