Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
The buzz of reading and the joy of books filled our school today with all the staff and children donning their fancy dress to celebrate World Book Day 2026. Across school, there was a Book Face competition, a book swap event and KS1 were fortunate to have a guest reader to share the latest adventure of Scout in her quest to save bees.
SD Solution kindly donated a bundle of STEM books to school this morning, which were gratefully received by the pupil librarians, Mrs. Allchurch and Mr.Booth. These will go into our ever-growing library stock for all the children to enjoy.
Today, the children were treated to guest readers from other classes, who read them a poem or story. This is part of our reading for pleasure focus across the school as we dive deeper into the National Year of Reading. It was lovely to see the enthusiastic listening from all the children.
Yesterday, the talented local author, Bethany Finnimore, visited Robins, Woodpeckers and Puffins to read her new book, Tank the Toothfairy. The classes were enthusiastic listeners and loved the story.
Today, Kestrels visited Devonport Park as part of the 'Widening Horizons' project. They met with different members of the park team, learning about gardening, indigenous species and the history of the park. As a treat, they also had hot chocolate or a soft drink of their choice.
To launch their new fairytale topic, Robins had clawed foot prints left across their classroom and a princess dress left with 'scorch' marks in their role play area. The class believe that a fierce dragon must have visited over the weekend.
The festive period began with a gold-covered bang as our children performed the brilliant 'Five Gold Rings' to a full house of parents across two afternoons. Every child gave their all and made us all extremely proud.
A group of students were asked to review a brand new film at Market Hall in the immersive dome. Their opinions will shape the final film that will be shown to a range of children from across the city. Due to their excellent engagement, the budding critics were then treated to a special showing of the 'Longest Night'.
Today, we put out five boxes of books from the Plymouth School Library Service, replenishing the stock in both the KS1 and KS2 library spaces. The librarians from Puffins were very excited to receive the new books.
