Spain is full of fantastic historical sites.
Ideal for taking students out of the classroom, so they can get a real feel for times gone by.
Our Year Fours thoroughly enjoyed their visit to Castell de Santa Bárbara in Alicante.
After all, it’s a lot easier to imagine what it was like to live in a castle if you’ve been inside one. Plus, Santa Bárbara has some wonderfully energetic tour guides, who really help bring history to life.
Our Year 1 journalists discovered a crash site in our school playground!
They inspected the evidence and recorded notes and observations. 
They came to the conclusion the rocket belonged to alien lifeforms.
Now they’re busy writing news reports about the event.
It was an exciting way to launch this term’s learning theme: space. 
If you want to feel in the mood for Christmas, there’s no better way than by enjoying songs and carols sung by a choir of children.
In Year 2, there was festive cheer throughout their recital.
The colourful hats and gloves were the perfect compliment to a wonderful little Christmas concert.
And after that, we all had some chocolate and churros.
Merry Christmas!
Every Christmas, our primary classes put on a festive show.
Year 5 and Year 6 put a huge amount of effort into their performance of an ensemble piece called The Magical Christmas Jigsaw.
The play recreates the Nativity story, seen through the eyes of modern children, who have come across an enchanted jigsaw puzzle.
Each piece of the jigsaw shows a different part of the first Christmas, with a full cast of angels, shepherds, kings, inn-keepers and of course, the holy couple and their newborn baby.
The show was also full of catchy songs and dance numbers, a few jokes and plenty of pizzazz.
But probably the best thing about it, was how much the Year 5 and 6 players enjoyed themselves on stage.
A proper Yuletide treat!
In Year 1, we celebrated the festive season with singing, dancing and Christmas crafting.
Even our mums and dads joined in the making activities, so we all got into the Yuletide mood.
We love Christmas!
What a great Christmas show from Year 3 and Year 4! Live piano music throughout and so many wonderful poems, songs and dances by polar animals, elves, snowmen, snowboys and snowgirls!
Our taekwondo club is a fairly recent addition to the school’s extra-curricular activities, but its popularity has grown at a rapid rate.
The martial art originated in Korea. The name taekwondo literally translates as the way of the foot and the fist.
As you can see, precision high kicks formed the main part of the end-of-term display given by our young martial arts students.
Taekwondo is great exercise and involves the excitement of hand-to-hand (and foot-to-foot!) combat.
At the end of every session, the combatants are encouraged to seek a moment of mindful relaxation.
No wonder they enjoy taekwondo so much!
Our students are lucky enough to benefit from music lessons given by specialist teachers, who visit our school every week.
The music teachers work with several primary classes, helping them to learn the rudiments of music and rhythm.
They also give individual and small group lessons to aspiring pianists, ‘cellists, violinists and singers.
This Christmas we were treated to a show by all our young musicians.
The songs and musical pieces were based on the theme of “The Little Tin Soldier”.
What better way to bring in the festive season!
Christmas is here and we have been treated to carols in English and Spanish.
As if that wasn’t enough, we also had a display from our primary dance clubs.
We watched them perform modern dance numbers and some classic Spanish flamenco.
Then our ukulele players played us more Christmas songs on their instruments and the whole show was rounded off by a singalong finale.
We’re really in the festive spirit now!
In Year 1, we are learning about animals and Africa, so we made binoculars & went on safari!
