We had the most wonderful school trip to Hyde Hall exploring real life meadows and gardens! The children had a blast with some fun indoor activities before heading outside to walk through the beautiful grounds. They spotted scurrying squirrels, watched ducks, and looked at a vibrant array of flowers. To top off a fantastic day of learning, everyone scavenged for fallen leaves to create their very own nature bookmarks. It was a truly magical day out.

Year 1 had a wonderful visit to Chalkwell Beach, where they enjoyed exploring the seaside environment and learning outside the classroom. The children observed natural features such as the sand, shells, and sea, while taking part in fun, hands-on activities that sparked their curiosity about the coast. The trip provided a great opportunity for them to build confidence, work together, and create happy memories in a new and exciting setting.

What a spectacular Sports Day! The sun was shining brightly, and while the summer heat certainly brought an extra challenge, it couldn't dampen the incredible school spirit on display. Since today was all about non-competitive fun, the focus was entirely on participation, teamwork, and trying our best. From laughter-filled obstacle courses to collaborative team activities, our students showed amazing encouragement and support for one another. A huge thank you to all the teachers, volunteers, and cheering parents who helped make the day such a blazing success—everyone went home tired, sun-kissed, and with big smiles on their faces!

In PE this half-term, the children have been developing their skills and confidence through a range of exciting athletic events. So far, they have been practising javelin, shot put, long jump and track racing, learning the techniques and determination needed for each activity.

The pupils have thoroughly enjoyed spending time out on the field, where they have been encouraged to challenge themselves, improve their performances and support one another as part of a team. Through a balance of fun and friendly competition, the children are building resilience, teamwork and fair play, while also developing their fitness and coordination skills.

The Year 2 children planted their own seeds as part of a project, creating a personal plant diary. They learned about what plants need to grow, including water, sunlight, and care. Each child took responsibility for planting their seed and began to understand the importance of looking after a living thing.

As they continue to observe their plants over time, the children will record changes such as growth, leaves, and height in their diaries. This helps them develop observation skills and an understanding of how plants change and grow.

Pioneer 3–2 Warren

What a nail-biting game from start to finish—right down to the final whistle! The team showed incredible determination, resilience, and teamwork to secure a well-deserved victory.

Facing a strong Warren side, including players from professional club academies, our boys rose to the challenge and delivered an outstanding performance to be crowned Central Division Champions! TPA were awarded the shield.

We are so proud of every single player—a huge achievement for all involved!
