This week we were delighted to welcome the Hampshire Travel team along with Basil the Parrot to school. Their visit focused on promoting sustainable travel, safe driving, and responsible parking – topics I know that are important to you. Thank you to everyone that signed up for a parking permit. Please contact the school office for more information about permits.

Today, the Roots and Shoots pupil gardening club went on an exciting bird-watching adventure in the local area with Mrs Bailey and Mrs Moore, as part of the RSPB’s Big Garden Birdwatch. The children observed a variety of birds including a red kite.
The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) organises this annual event to help people of all ages connect with local wildlife and contribute to vital bird population data. For those interested in learning more or participating at home, the RSPB’s dedicated website—www.rspb.org.uk—offers resources and guidance to join the birdwatching fun.
This week, Raptorexoctics visited Year 2, bringing an array of birds and reptiles. The children were delighted to meet creatures such as snakes and lizards. The children explored new vocabulary like "species," "habitats," and "adaptations," deepening their knowledge of how these animals survive in the wild. Some brave individuals even had the opportunity to gently hold a reptile. The visit not only sparked curiosity and wonder but also left the children with lasting memories of the incredible diversity of life in the natural world.
Action for Happiness is a movement of people taking action to promote a happier world, through a culture that prioritises happiness and kindness. The idea is that happiness is something we ‘do’ and that we can change how we feel by taking small daily actions at home, at school, at work and in wider society to make a difference together.
They produce a monthly calendar with a different theme which is very useful in reminding us of the little things that we can do each day that make a difference to ourselves and others and how we feel. Each month we will share the calendar with you (see below) as a way of supporting your family’s wellbeing.
Please check out our Health and Wellbeing page in the Parent tab.

Today we were fortunate enough to welcome back Perform Drama Company for another series of drama workshops that took place for every class.
The children enjoyed expressing themselves creatively through movement, voice, and improvisation.
A big thank you to Perform!
