• In Sixteen Hundred and Sixty Six

  Wed 11 Feb 2026

  Year 2 delivered a fantastic assembly all about the Great Fire of London, confidently retelling the dramatic events of 1666. Through a wonderful combination of singing, dancing, storytelling and acting, the children brought this important moment in history to life for their audience.

  They shared key facts about how the fire started in Thomas Farriner’s bakery on Pudding Lane, how it spread quickly through the wooden houses, and how it finally came to an end. Their clear narration, expressive acting and enthusiastic singing showed just how much they have learned during their topic.

  We were especially proud of the teamwork, compassion and friendship shown throughout the preparation and performance. The children supported one another brilliantly, demonstrating growing confidence and resilience on stage. It was a truly memorable celebration of their hard work and collaboration.

• Finding Courage in the Flames

  Tue 03 Feb 2026

  The Leopard Class have begun their new narrative unit with an exciting and immersive drama hook inspired by Sammy the Street Dog. Using drama techniques such as hot-seating and freeze frames, the children explored key moments from the story, focusing on how Sammy may have felt as he tried to escape the raging Great Fire of London in 1666.

  Through speaking and acting in role, pupils were encouraged to use emotive language to describe fear, confusion, hope and determination. These activities helped the children to deepen their understanding of character, setting and historical context, while generating powerful vocabulary and ideas to support their narrative writing.

  The drama work also provided opportunities to reflect on our Christian values, particularly compassion and courage. The children considered how people and animals might have helped one another during the fire, showing kindness in times of danger, and how bravery can be found even in the most frightening situations. This thoughtful exploration has inspired the class and created a strong foundation for the narratives they will continue to develop throughout the unit.

• A Right Royal Kind of Day

  Tue 13 Jan 2026

  To launch their new topic ‘A Royally Good Time, the children in Kittens class took part in a Royal Dress Up Day. Everyone looked wonderful wearing their most regal outfits, including party clothes and dressing‑up costumes.

  Throughout the day, the children enjoyed a range of exciting activities. They designed and made their own crowns, listened to traditional tales featuring kings and queens, and finished the day by dancing together at a royal ball. It was a fun and memorable start to our new topic, and the children showed great enthusiasm and creativity.

  

• London’s Burning! Fetch the Engine!

  Fri 09 Jan 2026

  What an amazing day Leopard Class had as they were transported back in time to London in 1666! To kickstart our new history topic, the children enjoyed a rich and exciting enrichment day exploring the events of the Great Fire of London.
  The day began at the bakery, where the children used salt dough
  to recreate bread, linking to Thomas Farriner’s famous bakery. They then stepped into the past using dance and drama to retell the story of the fire spreading through the city. The children worked together to show panic, excitement and teamwork as London burned around them.
  In the afternoon, creativity continued through art. The children studied and drew tall, narrow houses just like those found in 17th-century London. They explored why the buildings were so close together
  and how this helped the fire to spread so quickly.
  It was a fun, memorable and hands-on day of learning that brought history to life. Leopard Class showed fantastic enthusiasm, imagination and teamwork throughout the day.

• A world made of cold

  Tue 06 Jan 2026

  The beginning of our topic- Chilly Poles & Toasty tropics- was certainly an icy one! To help us begin to understand the conditions in Antarctica, we explored the snowy school grounds (in temperatures of -3!) looking at the impact the cold had upon the environment (and us!). Take a look below at our explorations.
