We are so proud that the Fairtrade Foundation has awarded us the #Fairactive Award for all the amazing learning we did about Fairtrade! #FairtradeSchool.

Today the children explored real fish as part of our vertebrates topic. They carefully observed gills, fins, mouths, teeth and tails — such confident, curious learners. What a fantastic hands‑on lesson!

Year 1 took part in a Cricket Taster session where they had the chance to try a mini cricket game in a fun and engaging way. The children took part in batting and fielding just like a real game of cricket. The session encouraged them to try a new sport and enjoy being part of a team.

Don’t forget to keep travelling to school in an active way for the second week of the challenge!

@WalkWheelCycleTrust #BigWalkand Wheel. Well done to everyone for travelling to school in an active way as part of the Big Walk and Wheel Challenge. We have recorded 792 active journeys to school this week putting us in second place in Hillingdon so far for the challenge.

Wishing those celebrating a peaceful and joy‑filled Eid. Have a wonderful day!

Year 1 had an amazing visit from Animals UK today! They met a meerkat, a chameleon and an owl. The children were so brave holding and feeling the animals — and the snake was absolutely huge. Such an unforgettable experience for our young learners. Thank you Laura

As part of Governors’ Day, some of the Rights Respecting Ambassadors gave a presentation to the Governors to explain their role in supporting the Rights Respecting Schools Award. The children spoke very confidently and passionately during the presentation.

The Rights Respecting Ambassadors went to Sainsburys in Lombardy Park to look for Fairtrade Food and compare the prices. Article 17 You have the right to get information that is important to your well-being. Article 32 If you work, you have the right to be safe and paid fairly.

Minet Infants are enjoying #BritishScienceWeek! In our first science workshop, children loved the amazing experiments — especially becoming a human circuit ⚡ and discovering how electricity flows when a circuit is complete. So much curiosity, teamwork and excitement! 🧪

In English, the children in Year 1 have been exploring settings linked to Stanley’s Stick. Our hook was imagining that we were at the beach – and even better, we got to enjoy real ice cream, which everyone loved!

As part of our #RRSA assembly for Martin Luther King Day we learnt how Martin taught the world how important Article 2 of the #UNCRC is: All children have these rights, no matter who they are, whether they are a boy or girl or what their culture is. We are all Equal!

Thank you to everyone who attended this year's Winter Fayre helping raise money for the school. There was lots activities including a raffle, pin the nose on the reindeer, name the teddy, Tombola, lucky dip, guess the number of sweets in the jar, face painting and a penalty shootout.

Children enjoyed the Robin Hood panto at school! The panto followed the legend of Robin Hood and his band of Merry Men as they battled against the Sheriff of Nottingham to help the poor and needy. The children enjoyed joining in and helping find the villains of the story.
