Summer Reading Challenge 2026 – Read to the Beat! Today, our children enjoyed a special assembly led by Dawn and Elaine from Essex Library Services, who introduced this year's Summer Reading Challenge theme: Read to the Beat! The challenge runs from 18th July to 5th September, encouraging children to discover new books, develop a love of reading, and enjoy a summer filled with stories and adventure. We are incredibly proud to have won the trophy for the most participants for the past two years running! Can we make it a hat-trick this year? Let's work together to make it three years in a row! Encourage your child to sign up at their local library, take part in the challenge, and help us bring home the trophy once again. Happy reading, everyone! #ReadToTheBeat #SummerReadingChallenge #EssexLibraries #LoveReading
Year 1 Pupil-Led Liturgy This week, our Year 1 children proudly led a special liturgy focused on God's love and how we can show love and kindness to others in our daily lives. It was wonderful to welcome parents to join us in prayer and reflection. As part of the liturgy, families wrote thoughtful prayers for our Prayer Tree, creating a beautiful display filled with messages of love, hope, and gratitude. The children showed great confidence and reverence as they shared their learning and led the worship. Thank you to all the parents and carers who joined us and helped make the experience so meaningful. "Let all that you do be done in love." – 1 Corinthians 16:14 #PupilLedLiturgy #Year1 #GodsLove #PrayerTree #CatholicLife
Father's Day Craft Stay and Play Morning What a lovely morning our Cygnets had celebrating with their grown-ups! The children enjoyed helping to make their very own Rainbow Fish, inspired by one of our favourite stories this half term. They also had lots of fun decorating a Baa Baa Black Sheep craft to take home. To make the morning extra special, the children proudly sang "10 Fat Sausages" for their grown-ups and shared our morning prayer together. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the morning so memorable. We loved seeing the children sharing their creations and spending quality time with their special adults. #FathersDay #Cygnets #EarlyYears #RainbowFish #nurserylife
Happy National Numeracy Day! We've had such a lovely day celebrating all things maths! The children came dressed up and explored how maths is used in real life and in different careers. We also became maths investigators for the day with some fun zoo animal challenges How many children could fit inside an elephant's footprint? Can we jump as far as a kangaroo? Which animal is the tallest? Who can measure the longest leap? So much fun, learning and teamwork all while building confidence with numbers! #nationalnumeracyday
Last week we were privileged to host the Early Excellence Outdoor Roadshow - discovering how to strengthen the impact of our outdoor learning environment.

A huge thank you to Early Excellence for leading such an inspiring session, and to all the leaders and teachers who joined us for the rich professional discussions and shared practice. #EarlyExcellence #Roadshow #OutdoorProvision #OutdoorLearning #EarlyYears
