Great session at Go Wild Forest School. Children had free-play & made lots of imaginary stories to reenact in the woods. We played with slime and talked about how it feels. We went on a hunt for insects and loved exploring the area to discover treasures.

Thank you to the Hillside Dance Crew for kicking off our International Day of Dance celebrations. They performed in assembly this morning and we were amazed by their superb talent. Well done!

Congratulations to Ronnie, Lydia and Rylan who have completed the Better Reading Partnership! They have spent the last ten weeks working with teaching assistants in school to improve their reading pace, fluency and comprehension skills and have worked hard with their parents at home. Well done for making great progress!  

Congratulations to the pupils who were recognised for their excellent work last week. Keep it up!

The three Nursery entrants all received a small prize for their efforts – Marni, Erin and Ethan. The KS1 winners all came from Year 1 – 1st Grace, 2nd Charley and 3rd Danielle. Well done […]

The children were very lucky to be visited by these 2 beautiful ducks yesterday. We gave the ducks some food and watched them waddling around the field. We hope they come back to visit again soon!

An amazing array of blinged bikes and scooters have brightened up the bike shelters today at Hillside. Well done to everyone who has come to school on either a bike or scooter, to support The Big Pedal. The judges (our active crew) are having a very difficult job deciding who the winners are from each […]
