Diversity day : July 2026

Our school celebrated a fantastic Diversity Day, bringing together the many cultures and traditions that make our community so special. Pupils enjoyed a wide range of activities, including wearing national dress (a huge thank you to everyone who came dressed in traditional clothing!), cooking traditional dishes, and tasting delicious foods from around the world.

Throughout the day, we learnt new languages, sang songs, tried dances, listened to stories from different countries, discovered fascinating facts about nations across the globe, and even explored the significance of different national flowers. The children also produced some excellent art and craft work inspired by world cultures, from beautiful Portuguese tiles to colourful Motanka dolls from Ukraine. It was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our differences, learn from one another, and appreciate the rich diversity within our school community.

A very special thank you goes to the parents who generously gave their time, shared their knowledge, and helped make the day such a memorable experience for the classes they worked with. Your enthusiasm and support made the day truly special. We hope this is just the beginning and that Diversity Day becomes a regular event in our school calendar!

Diwali : Year 1

What an amazing start we have had to our day. Mrs Malhi one of our parents came into year 1 this morning, to talk to us about how her family celebrate the Hindi festival of Diwali. 

We learnt lots from her fantastic visit. We discovered that it is celebrated a little bit like Christmas where they have a lovely family meal, dress in their best clothes ( Mrs Malhi's dress looked very different to the clothes that we wear), they share sweets and gifts, they decorate their homes and even have fireworks.  We were very lucky as we got to make our own Diva lamps to take home. We then created some of our own pictures and patterns using some Rangoli powder and Mrs Edwards and Mrs Leach even had a Mendi pattern drawn on their hands. Mrs Malhi even gave us some sweet treats and the staff some freshly backed spring rolls and samosas which tasted delicious.

Here are some pictures from this morning visit.

Happy Diwali to you all!
