• Y2 Trip to the Church

  Thu 05 Feb 2026

  This morning, Year 2 enjoyed a trip to our local village church as part of our R.E. curriculum learning about special places.  Rector Johnny very kindly showed us around and talked to us about all of the different things we can find inside it and what the different things are used for.  We learned about the font, organ, pulpit, sanctuary, altar, lecturn and stained glass window to name a few!  The children were all Exceptional Explorers and showed great curiosity, asking lots of great questions.

• Jim Beckett - visiting author

  Tue 03 Feb 2026

  Mrs Mellor kindly arranged for Jim Beckett, children's author, to come in and introduce his "Buzz, Sausage, Wolf" books and their characters to the children. The series is essentially about a silly sausage dog who's determined to be the perfect pet and win the love of his new family. Not just an engaging story, Buzz Sausage Wolf is packed with relatable child-centric emotional learnings e.g. being yourself, asking for help, accepting our differences, learning to share - all with a huge dollop of animal silliness and heart. He even brought along a cheeky monkey and a ukele!  Thank you for pre-ordering signed copies of the books, these will also still be available to order via a link which will be sent out this week.

   

  A huge thank you to Chorleywood Bookshop, which provides the opportunity to book these fantastic author events and to Mrs Mellor for securing such a fabulous treat for the children
