World Book Day!

On Thursday, March 5th, 2026, we’ll be celebrating World Book Day! This year, in the spirit of the National Year of Reading, our theme is 'Go All in - If you’re into it, read into it'. We’re encouraging everyone to dive into their hobbies, interests, and the things that make them happy through reading!

To make it even more fun, our dress-up theme is *Wear what makes you happy*! ๐ŸŽ‰โœจ

Children are invited to get creative with their outfits! Here are some ideas to inspire you:

- Dress up as your favourite book character ๐Ÿ“–

- Wear cozy clothes or pjs for that perfect bedtime story vibe ๐ŸŒ™

- Choose something that represents your hobbies, interests, favourite colours, or anything else that makes you happy! ๐ŸŽจ

We can’t wait to see all the amazing outfits and celebrate our love for reading together! Happy reading, everyone! ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ’–

Y5 Story Slam

This week, our amazing Year 5 students took the stage at the annual UL event StorySLAM held at Hunningley Primary Academy in Barnsley! ๐ŸŒŸ StorySLAM is a super exciting storytelling competition for Y5 & Y6 pupils, where they get to write and perform their very own stories. It's all about sparking creativity, building confidence, and honing those presentation skills!

We're especially excited to share that this year's special guest was Dan Freedman, author of the beloved Jamie Johnson series! The students were absolutely thrilled to meet him! A massive shoutout to Efah for representing our school with such poise and respect. Way to go, Efah! ๐ŸŽ‰

๐ŸŒŸFun Learning in FS2 ๐ŸŒŸ

This week in FS2, we had an absolutely fantastic time celebrating and learning about Chinese New Year! Here’s a little glimpse into our fun activities:

๐Ÿช We made our very own fortune cookies for our friends using paper - how cool is that? And of course, we couldn’t resist enjoying some real fortune cookies while reading our own fortunes!

๐Ÿ“ฎ We wrote red envelopes for our friends, a lovely gesture to spread some good luck and cheer!

๐Ÿ“š We even picked up how to say “hello” and “thank you” in Chinese!

๐Ÿ‰ We dove into the story of the great race and discovered all the fascinating animals of the Chinese zodiac!

๐Ÿฅข In the funky fingers area, we had a blast using chopsticks – it was a delightful challenge!

๐ŸŽŠ We learned about how different people celebrate Chinese New Year, embracing the richness of traditions around the world.

๐ŸŒณ And of course, we made our wishes for the Chinese wishing tree. Fingers crossed for good fortune all around!

Additionally, we were thrilled to watch the eggs hatch into adorable chicks! It’s been a week filled with wonder and joy! ๐Ÿฃโœจ
