Enrichment – Safety Squad

Our Safety Squad learned how to stay safe during Bonfire Night!
We explored what’s Safe and Not Safe when enjoying fireworks and bonfires.

✅ Safe:

  • Stand well back from the bonfire
  • Wear gloves when using sparklers
  • Keep a bucket of water nearby
  • Always have an adult supervising

❌ Not Safe:

  • Throwing fireworks or sparklers
  • Standing too close to the fire
  • Wearing loose clothing near flames
  • Playing without supervision

We even sorted pictures into Safe and Not Safe categories to help everyone remember these important rules. Stay safe and have fun!

Enrichment – UK Ukraine Partnership

Today we had a video call with our partnership school. This call allowed the children to response to each others letters. It sparked lots of conversation between all the pupils and enabled them to learn more about each other. This included their shared interest in playing Roblox. They even got to share their usernames with each other.

Enrichment – Finance

In this week’s finance lesson, students learned about taxes — what they are, who pays them, and how they are used in our community.

Children discovered that everyone who earns money or buys goods and services contributes to taxes, including workers and businesses. They explored where tax money goes, such as funding for schools, hospitals, emergency services, public transport, and road maintenance — all things that help our society run smoothly.

They also learned about VAT (Value Added Tax) and identified everyday items that include VAT, such as clothes, electronics, and restaurant meals.

Enrichment – Sport & Fitness: Orienteering Adventure

This week, our Enrichment Sports and Fitness group took on the exciting challenge of orienteering—a sport that combines navigation and physical activity in the great outdoors. Participants used maps and compasses to find checkpoints on the playground, testing both their endurance and problem-solving skills.

The session was a fantastic opportunity to build teamwork, boost confidence, and enjoy nature while staying active. Everyone showed great enthusiasm and determination, making it a memorable experience for all involved.

Well done to everyone who took part!

Enrichment – Cooking: Seasonal Spirit in the Kitchen

This week, our enrichment group rolled up their sleeves and got creative with a delightful seasonal cookie-making session. The room was filled with the warm aroma of freshly baked treats and the joyful chatter of participants as they mixed, shaped, and decorated cookies inspired by the autumn season.

All shapes from pumpkins to leaves, each cookie was a unique expression of creativity and teamwork. Participants not only learned basic baking skills but also had the chance to explore their artistic side through icing, sprinkles, and colourful decorations.

The session was a wonderful opportunity to build confidence, encourage collaboration, and celebrate the season in a fun and tasty way. Everyone left with their handmade cookies—and big smiles to match!

A huge thank you to everyone who participated and helped make the event such a sweet success!

Enrichment – Sewing: Pumpkin Crafting Fun!

This week, our creative sewing enrichment group embraced the cosy spirit of autumn by making adorable fabric pumpkins!

We started by sewing fabric tubes, then gathered each end to form a round shape. After filling them with soft stuffing, we used embroidery thread to cinch and sculpt the classic pumpkin ridges. To finish, we added charming stalks and leaves for that perfect seasonal touch.

It was a fun and festive project that brought out everyone’s creativity—and the results were absolutely delightful! Whether you’re a seasoned stitcher or just learning, this was a great way to celebrate fall together.
