It was a fun and educational day full of discovery and hands-on learning! The two tour guides, we had, said we were the most knowledgeable class they had ever met!

VE Day Celebrations, by Miss Platt
Date: 2nd May 2025 @ 1:18pm
What a wonderful effort from our whole school community today as we celebrated 80 years since VE Day. Throughout the week children learnt all about the World Wars, visiting church for a presentation and welcoming 'Mimmi' Jackson into school who was a child during the war.
On Friday the children and staff arrived at school as though they had stepped back in time to 1945 in their wonderful 40's inspired outfits, whilst Dr Tim Sparks played the last post.
In classes children worked on their "Beacons of Light". The VE Day 80th anniversary theme of "Together We Stand" can be celebrated through lighting the children's beacons at home; symbolizing national unity and the light of peace that followed the war.
A wonderful VE Day inspired lunch was enjoyed in the hall, listening to 1940's music and eating Union Jack biscuits!
The whole school finally came together in the afternoon to have a picnic on the playground, listening to music played by Mrs Aiken and poems read out by Year 6 children.
Thank you to the children for their enthusiasm, Mrs Salt for organising the week and the PTA who helped with the decorations for our celebration.

AECPS 'Borrowed The Moon', by Mrs Walsh
Date: 19th Mar 2025 @ 5:25pm
These rare samples were provided to our school through a project called ‘Borrow the Moon’ by the UK’s Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) which provides educational packs in a bid to inspire young people in Science.
The children were encouraged to reach for the stars and learn more about the universe around us during a week-long interactive experience of astronomy.
They were given the unique opportunity to touch a piece of a space rock not of this Earth as they handled genuine meteorites.
The pack provided by STFC included a 1.2bn year old piece of Mars rock and 4.3bn year old nickel meteorite. It is unlikely that children will ever get the chance to hold an object older than this, as Earth itself was formed 4.6bn years ago.
