Today the children in Chestnut class had a visit from the school nurse. Jill came to teach us how to be healthy heroes! We learnt about sleep, hand washing, healthy eating, exercise and being kind to others and ourselves!
New Playground Markings = Endless Imagination!
Our exciting new playground markings have already become a huge hit with the children!
It has been wonderful to watch them explore the different designs, work together, and use their creativity to invent their own games and challenges. From imaginative adventures to friendly competitions, the playground has been buzzing with energy, laughter, and teamwork.
These markings are providing fantastic opportunities for active play, problem-solving, and social interaction, helping children learn and have fun at the same time.
We can't wait to see what games they come up with next!
Year 6 United for Endangered Animals!
Our Year 6 pupils had an incredible opportunity to take part in a collaborative United Nations event alongside other schools from across the Trust. The day focused on raising awareness of endangered animals and exploring how we can all play a part in protecting our planet's most vulnerable species.
Working together with pupils from different schools, the children researched, discussed, and developed ideas for conservation projects, demonstrating fantastic teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving skills.
We were especially honoured to have the day led by the Regional Director for the United Nations in the UK, who inspired our pupils to think globally, act responsibly, and recognise the power they have to make a positive difference in the world.
A huge well done to all of our children for taking part in today’s Sports Day. We were incredibly proud of the enthusiasm, determination, teamwork and sportsmanship shown by everyone throughout the event. It was wonderful to see so many families cheering from the sidelines and supporting our children.
The celebrations continued with the PTA Summer BBQ, which was a great success! Thank you to everyone who came along, helped out, donated, cooked, served, and supported the event. It was lovely to see our school community come together and enjoy a fantastic afternoon of food, fun and friendship.
A special thank you to our staff, volunteers and PTA members whose hard work made both events possible.
What an incredible three days our children have had at Robin Wood! From the moment they arrived, they embraced every challenge with enthusiasm, determination, and a fantastic attitude.
Over the course of the residential, pupils took part in a wide range of exciting activities including climbing, zip line, escape rooms, high ropes, raft building, and canoeing, to name just a few. They pushed themselves out of their comfort zones, developed new skills, worked brilliantly as teams, and showed great resilience throughout.
We are extremely proud of all the children for their excellent participation, outstanding behaviour, and willingness to give everything a go. They represented the school wonderfully and were a credit to themselves, their families, and our school community.
A huge thank you to the Robin Wood staff for providing such a memorable experience and to the staff who accompanied the trip. We are sure the children will cherish the memories and friendships made for years to come!
KS2 Design & Technology in Action!
Our incredible KS2 pupils have been busy getting hands-on with their learning this week, creating their very own cam mechanisms!
Using their knowledge of movement and simple machines, the children designed and built working models that turn rotary motion into different types of movement. It was fantastic to see their creativity shine as they explored how cams can create rising, falling and even irregular motions!
Throughout the project, pupils showed great teamwork, problem-solving and perseverance—testing, improving and refining their ideas just like real engineers.
We are so proud of their hard work and the imaginative designs they brought to life. Well done, KS2!
Our nursery children have been making the most of their day with free access to both indoor and outdoor environments, giving them the opportunity to explore, create and learn in ways that suit them best.
From building imaginative worlds and getting creative with messy play inside, to enjoying fresh air, movement and nature outdoors, every moment is filled with curiosity, discovery and fun.
This continuous flow between spaces supports the children’s independence, confidence and creativity, allowing them to follow their interests and develop important skills through play-led learning.
We are so proud to see their ideas come to life as they experiment, collaborate and grow in such an engaging and nurturing environment.
This week, Chestnut Class and Oak Class had a fantastic trip to Cambrian Heritage Railway as part of their history learning!
The children had the opportunity to step back in time and explore how railways have shaped our communities. From learning about how trains were used in the past to seeing real locomotives up close, it was an unforgettable experience.
The visit brought their classroom learning to life, helping them understand the importance of trains in transporting people and goods throughout history. The children asked great questions, showed wonderful curiosity, and represented the school brilliantly throughout the day.
A big thank you to everyone involved in making this trip possible—it truly helped create lasting memories and inspired our young historians!
We’re so proud of Chestnut and Oak Classes for their enthusiasm and excellent behaviour!
A huge well done to all of our amazing children who took part in our Sponsored Steps for Stories event, organised by our fantastic PTA!
The children had great fun completing laps of the track, collecting letters of the alphabet along the way – combining fitness, teamwork, and learning all in one exciting challenge!
Thanks to their enthusiasm and your generous support, we are raising money to help provide more books for our school, inspiring a love of reading for everyone.
A big thank you to the PTA for organising such a creative and fun event, and to all families and friends who sponsored the children and helped make it a success!
We are so proud of you all!
We have started to celebrate the 2026 world cup by exploring the different flags from around the world and have been designing football kits and top trump cards. We had a world cup draw and each child in Ash and Oak have been given a team that is competing. The teacher got to join in as well! A couple of children are in charge of the world cup wall chart and will be updating us on the progress of each time as the competition goes on! In the next few weeks the children will also get to play lots of football and we will be holding our own semi final and final world cup matches!
