• OPAL Day

  Fri 20 Oct 2023

  OPAL stands for 'Outdoor Play and Learning' and is a big part of our school.  

  On 20th October, we held an OPAL day so that all the children could experience some OPAL activities and work together with different year groups on open ended outdoor activities, such as den building, making art from nature, playing problem solving games and some of the photos from this day and included below. We hope to hold an OPAL day every term as it was very successful. We were very grateful for all the donations you sent in. 

  Please let us know if you can help in any way and/or would like to join our OPAL team.

• OPAL

  Tue 18 Jul 2023

  Students of all ages have been enjoying our OPAL play during the summer term.  All over the field there are children making dens, digging for treasure, playing in the sand pit, enjoying the wilder areas and designing their own creative play.  I was delighted to find a shady glade in which a smashing group had constructed their own theme park.  They told me all about the safety features of each ride and had a great time demonstrating them.  (As someone who feels ill on a roundabout, I am medically exempt from trying it out!

  I hope you enjoy the pictures,

• The Reading Tree

  Thu 25 May 2023

  As a whole school, we have read the book 'The Reading Tree' by Paul Czajak and it inspired us to create a book tree of our own in our library space. With lots of new books coming into our library - thanks to our sponsored read event for World Book Day - we wanted to create something as a whole school to demonstrate our love of books and reading! We think it looks marvellous and we can't wait to keep adding stories we write or love to it! 

  

• Go Create Art Project for the TYCA Festival

  Thu 18 May 2023

  Maple and Sycamore Classes have greatly enjoyed working with Liz Hutchin and her team of artists, creating pieces on the theme of ‘Our Place’.

  Our pupils have reflected on places that are special to them and the results are beautiful.  We are looking forward to seeing our work displayed as part of the Taunton Youth Culture & Arts (TYCA) showcase later in the summer.
