Careers and jobs

This week, our children have been busy exploring the exciting world of careers and jobs. Throughout the week, we have been learning about a wide range of occupations and discussing the important skills needed for each role. The children have taken part in discussions, activities and games to help them think about their own interests and talents, while learning more about the many opportunities available in the future.


Our new sensory room...The Cosy Cave.

The name of the new sensory room is...The Cosy Cave. As voted and created by our pupils. We are having a special sign created for this. The old computing room in KS2 has been cleared of all IT equipment, repainted and new furniture and resources have been purchased to make a calming space. We just wanted send an enormous thank you to our community your generosity developing our new sensory room. We also want to thank Lifeline4Kids, who also donated to the room, which again is fantastic.


Growing cress gardens

We are very proud of our wonderful cress gardens that we have been growing in class. Over the past few weeks, we have carefully planted our seeds, watered them regularly, and observed the changes as they began to grow. The children showed great responsibility and patience while caring for their cress gardens each day. We enjoyed watching the tiny shoots appear and measuring how much they grew over time.


Sponsored Walk

What an amazing turn out for our sponsored walk this morning. It was a fantastic event that raised £2,833.50 for our sensory room. Thank you everyone for joining us. 


Fund Raising Thank You

I have just had the privilege of counting the money raised for our sponsored walk on Monday. Well, what can I say? You have raised £2,618.50 so far by sponsoring your child to walk around Gorse Hall. The Year 6 children have mapped the route this morning and are eager to marshal the event. We are so grateful for your generosity. Whenever you pop into school, please have a look at how our sensory room is developing.  I look forward to seeing a lot of you on Monday morning when you join us on the sponsored walk. Dress up warmly as there is a slight chance of rain.
