This term, Year 3 students have been channelling their creativity into crafting their own fairytales, creating a unique twist to the classic tale of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. As part of their publishing, Year 3 students had the exciting opportunity to read their stories to our Year 1 students. Watching both year groups bond over reading and storytelling was truly lovely. This experience not only showcased the hard work and creativity of our Year 3 students but also encouraged a sense of community, as Year 1 children were able to learn from their older role models. It was a wonderful reminder of the joy that books bring and the connections that storytelling can create across age groups.

Last week, our Year 12 and 13 English Literature and Drama students embarked on an exciting trip to the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford-upon-Avon to watch a captivating production of Othello. The performance, which featured some famous and impressive actors, was ornate and traditional in terms of casting and costume while offering unique and interesting choices in lighting and staging. One of the standout elements was the admired decision to cast an older Othello, sparking lively discussions among the students. A fabulous time was had by all, with new ideas and insights to take back to the classroom!

Last week we had the most wonderful time enjoying the sunshine in our dedicated Forest School area! Our Foundation Stage children teamed up with Year 6 students to explore the natural surroundings, using resources they found to create their very own magical wandsjust like in the beloved story, "Room on the Broom". It was heart-warming to see the children work together, form new bonds and let their imaginations run wild. Such a special day filled with nature, creativity and friendship!
