  Working together, the children showed enthusiasm, teamwork, and commitment to caring for the planet. Their efforts not only contributed to a cleaner Cockshutt but also highlighted the importance of small, collective actions in protecting our planet.

• Easter Journey Day

  Fri 27 Mar 2026
   

  On Wednesday, the children at Cockshutt C of E Primary School took part in a special Easter Journey Day. It was a truly wonderful occasion, where we came together to reflect on the Christian values of hope, love, forgiveness, perseverance, and new beginnings.

  Despite the challenging weather, the children embraced the day with enthusiasm and positivity, demonstrating excellent resilience and teamwork throughout. The day began with Reverend Gareth sharing the Easter story, helping the children to understand its meaning and significance.

  The children then worked in groups to take part in a range of engaging activities. At Forest School, they made and cooked bread over the fire, taking time to reflect on the Last Supper. They showed great creativity while making clay Easter eggs to represent new life. The children also created Easter gardens, thoughtfully discussing the resurrection of Jesus and what it means to Christians.

  In addition, the children explored the different emotions and feelings that Jesus and his disciples may have experienced during the Easter story. This encouraged empathy, reflection, and deeper understanding.

  We are incredibly proud of all the children for the way they immersed themselves in the day, showing respect, curiosity, and a real appreciation for the Easter story and its message.

  

• Builder Chris.

  Tue 24 Mar 2026 Lauren Rogers

  Builder Chris came to visit us today. He taught us so many skills and even bought us hardhats to keep us safe on site! We did bricklaying, hammering and used spanners with nuts and bolts. We had a look at all of the tools he uses and we saw some building plans too. It was so much fun and he very kindly left us the materials to keep on using our skills in class to continue our building journey!

The Diary of a Disciple theme brought their stories to life in a fun, creative, and thoughtful way.

  It was wonderful to see our pupils so engaged, curious, and enthusiastic. A fantastic afternoon of learning and discovery!

  Library Van Adventure!

  Our nursery children had such an exciting afternoon visiting the community library van, which pops by every two weeks! The children loved returning their books and choosing brand new stories to take back to class.

  They couldn’t wait to share their new books with their friends — lots of smiles, curiosity and wonderful conversations about their choices. Moments like these help spark a lifelong love of reading, and we’re so grateful to have this brilliant service in our community.

  

• World Book Day

  Thu 05 Mar 2026

  📚✨ Happy World Book Day! ✨😴

  Today our school was filled with cosy vibes as we celebrated World Book Day with this year’s theme: Bedtime Stories!

  The children came to school in their snuggly pyjamas, clutching their favourite bedtime books to share with their friends. It was wonderful seeing the excitement as they talked about the stories they love drifting off to. 💛

  From classic tales to new favourites, the day was a perfect reminder of how magical bedtime reading can be — sparking imaginations, building memories, and ending each day with a little adventure. 🌙📖

  A huge thank you to our pupils, families, and staff for making the day so special. 🥰
