This week Reception children have been innovating a the story of The Three Billy Goats Gruff. Look at this incredible 5 sentence story that a child wrote independently! This is so impressive for this early on in the year! Beautiful illustrations too! #perseverencestc
Reception and Class 1 were all superstars performing in this year’s nativity ‘Barmy Bethlehem’! We are so proud of them! #unitySTC #loveSTC
Class 1 have loved comparing the weather in Hereford in the UK to Dodoma in Tanzania 🇬🇧🇹🇿☀️❄️ #ks1STC #geographySTC
Fantastic teamwork in Reception. The children are seeing how high they can stack their shapes whilst maintaining balance. They tried different shapes and different combinations, they were so determined to succeed! #perseverencestc
Reception girls are enjoying their new painting easel! #lovestc
This Reception child is so determined to write, we started writing initial sounds and ended up writing CVC words independently! Wow! #perseverancestc
We are celebrating our families with African heritage today. As part of our culture day, 'Africa'.

Magical moments at @hayfestival today for so many children and families — Axel met Axel Scheffler at a book signing, Emmy asked Hamza a question on the mic, and Miriam joined him on stage to act out how a bird behaves in the wild. Unforgettable! #lovestc @hayfestival.bsky.social @dhmat.bsky.social
This week, Class 2 have been exploring printmaking using their local habitat as inspiration! The children designed their own prints, transferred them onto polystyrene templates using tracing paper and brought them to life with paint. Here’s a sneak peek—more to come tomorrow! #artstc #lovestc
We’re thrilled to be planning our next EAL celebration—this time spotlighting the rich cultures of Africa! Huge thanks to our African heritage families who joined us Friday for a coffee afternoon to connect, collaborate & shape an unforgettable Africa Day! #EALstc #geographystc #unitystc #lovestc

Today, Class 2 used their body part prints from yesterday as backgrounds. Pupils overlaid them with drawn flower imagery—starting with pencil, then pen, and finishing with soft pastels. Look at our wonderful finished pieces! Photos don’t do them justice! @accessart.bsky.social #lovestc
Over the past two days, Class 2 have been busy in Talk for Writing lessons, learning to retell the story, ‘The Rainbow Fish’. They created beautiful story maps to bring this finding tale to life! #englishstc #ks1stc #lovestc @piecorbett.bsky.social
Class 1 & 2 took their mission to care for the planet to the next level! As part of their campaign to reduce litter, they visited Envirosort to learn where our recycling goes and how it’s sorted. #couragousadvocacySTC #ks1stc
Today Class 2 had special visitors from a NCETM teacher training group @ncetm.bsky.social They taught a fun, hands-on lesson all about fractions— how to find one half by finding two equal parts. Thank you for coming and helping us learn something new! #MathsHub #mathsstc #ks1stc #unitystc
This week, inspired by the book ‘Commotion In The Ocean’, Class 2 wrote their own sea creature riddles. Can you guess what they are? Stay tuned for more next week! #englishstc #writingstc #ks1stc #lovestc
Ticket to ride... passport control, stamp and entry to each country granted 🌍🇪🇺😀
Our Eastern European Easter Day has begun — and we’ve got our passports ready! We’re travelling through Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, and Romania, celebrating with painted eggs, cakes, craft activities and more! #EALSTC #geographySTC @marymyatt.bsky.social
The KS1 castle engineers have done it! Their incredible creations now have working drawbridges thanks to their clever mechanisms. We’re so proud of their creativity, problem solving and hard work. #D&TKS1 #lovestc #perseveranceSTC
For our Eastern European Day, our children learned to say hello in Polish (Cześć), Ukrainian (Pryvit), Lithuanian (Labas), Latvian (Sveiki), and Romanian (Bună)!
Diversity is something truly special at our school — we love learning from each other! #ealstc #unitystc #lovestc #geographystc
Our TfW story this term is ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt. The children decided they would like to change the story to ‘We’re going on a Crocodile Hunt’ and came up with lots of amazing ideas to retell the story using a story map.
