This term, our Year 1 and 2 pupils have been diving into the theme of "Healthy Me," focusing on the importance of health and well-being. As part of their learning journey, the children rolled up their sleeves and got creative with food!
The pupils designed and created their own healthy snacks, using a mix of fresh fruits and crunchy crackers. Their enthusiasm and creativity shone through as they combined various flavors and textures to create vibrant, nutritious treats.
These healthy snacks not only taste great but also highlight the importance of making healthy choices. We are so proud of their hard work and can’t wait to see what they come up with next!
Stay tuned for more exciting updates from our young learners!

Spotlight on Talent: George Takes on Enjolras in `Les Misérables`
As summer kicked off, young performer George, Year 8, embarked on an exciting journey, auditioning for one of his favorite musicals, Les Misérables (school edition), through Rare Theatre Productions. Competing against a host of exceptionally talented individuals, George poured his heart into the audition process.
In August, George received thrilling news: he had been cast as Enjolras, the passionate leader of Les Amis de l`ABC during the Paris uprising. This role is not only a dream come true for him, but it also marks a significant milestone in his theatrical journey.
Demonstrating his commitment, George dedicates four hours each week to rehearsals, honing his craft and embracing the challenges of theatre life. This production is his first experience with a formal theatre script book, even though he knows the lines by heart.
The excitement builds as the show approaches, with performances scheduled in Rugby this November. We can`t wait to see George and his fellow cast members bring this powerful story to life!

This engaging session highlighted the importance of mental well-being and the accessible tools available through Kooth. We encourage all our pupils to take advantage of these resources as they navigate their academic and personal challenges.
