🏆 World Cup Wonders & A Four-Legged Hero!
🏆 World Cup Wonders & A Four-Legged Hero!
This week’s assembly brought the electric energy of the World Cup straight into our hall! We looked past the flashy goals to focus on the real secret weapon of champions: unbeatable teamwork. The students discussed how communication, trust, and lifting each other up are just as important in the classroom as they are on the pitch.
The absolute highlight was the incredible true story of the 1966 World Cup. Months before the tournament, the solid-gold trophy was stolen! The police were baffled, but the day was saved by the ultimate team player: a black-and-white dog named Pickles. While out on a walk, Pickles sniffed out a newspaper-wrapped package under a hedge, successfully retrieving the missing trophy and becoming a global superstar!
Our big takeaways? Great things happen when we work as a team, and anyone—no matter how small (or furry!)—can use their unique strengths to save the day.

🏆 Sports Day Update! ☀️🌧️
What a fantastic start we had to our Sports Day today! Our Key Stage 1 pupils had a lovely morning showing off their skills, giving 100%, and having a brilliant time.
A massive shoutout to our incredible KS2 helpers, who did an outstanding job keeping everything running smoothly—you were absolute superstars! 🌟
Sadly, the British weather didn't hold out for the afternoon session. While the rain stopped play for Key Stage 2 today, don't worry! KS2 will now have their turn on the morning of Tuesday, 23rd June. Cross your fingers for sunshine! 🤞🤞

What Parents Need to Know about YouTube
What Parents Need to Know about YouTube
YouTube continues to be a go-to platform for entertainment, learning and creativity, but its vast and largely unregulated content library presents ongoing challenges. This guide outlines how features like recommendations, Shorts and social interaction can shape young people’s viewing habits, sometimes exposing them to inappropriate or extreme material.
It also explores key safeguarding concerns, including stranger interaction, risky trends and the limits of automated moderation. With practical advice on tools such as YouTube Kids, supervised accounts and parental controls, the guide supports parents and educators in encouraging safer, more balanced and informed use of the platform.
