F2 had a fabulous afternoon down at Forest School on Friday! 
Thanks to the wet weather over the past couple of weeks, there was plenty of mud — perfect for getting creative and making fantastic mud faces! The children loved exploring the natural environment, using sticks, leaves and other treasures they found to bring their muddy masterpieces to life.
Lots of smiles, messy hands and wonderful imagination all around! 
Year 1 had a wonderful visit to the Book Fair!
The children enjoyed spending time browsing through a range of books, exploring different stories and choosing some favourites to add to their wish lists. It was lovely to see their excitement as they discovered new titles and authors they might like!
The Book Fair is open after school until Tuesday 3rd March 2026 — don’t forget to pop in and spend your book token!
Year 5 have been busy bringing their learning to life! 
The children have demonstrated their understanding of the layers of a rainforest by creating their very own rainforests in a shoebox. From the emergent layer down to the forest floor, they carefully thought about where each plant and animal belongs.
We are so proud of the effort and knowledge they have shown. Well done, Year 5!
I’m sure some of you have already heard about Y6's PE lesson last week… they did the beep test! 
At the start of the lesson, they talked about resilience not giving up when things get tough — and wow, did they rise to the challenge!
There were lots of red faces, but so much determination, resilience and encouragement for one another. It was fantastic to see everyone digging deep and giving it their absolute best.
A special well done to Jake and Carly, who both reached — and completed — the final level! What an incredible achievement!
To celebrate World Book Day (UK & Ireland) the children are welcome to come into school either dressed as their favourite book character, in their comfy pyjamas or in their uniform if they prefer on Thursday 5th March 2026.
Please encourage your child/children to bring in their favourite book to share with their friends on this day
In Nursery, the children have been exploring size by sorting photographs and objects into big and small groups! 
They had lots of fun comparing different items, talking about what they noticed, and explaining how they knew which group each object belonged to. This hands-on activity is a wonderful way to develop early maths skills, language, and critical thinking.
We’re so proud of how confidently they shared their ideas and worked together!
We are incredibly proud to celebrate one of our fantastic Year 5 pupils, who is showing exceptional dedication and talent beyond the classroom!
Oakley plays for Mansfield Town Academy and attends training sessions multiple times a week as well as playing matches, demonstrating commitment, resilience and a real passion for football. He manages to balance all of this with his school work (his coaches check how he is getting on at school too).
What a brilliant role model. Keep up the amazing work- we can't wait to see what you achieve next
