  • Grandparents' Day - Wednesday 21st May

    Published 29/04/25

    Green quad are very excited to invite you to our Grandparents' Day celebration on Wednesday 21st May at 2:30pm - 3:00pm. This will be held in the Green Quad Playground. We would love for the children’s grandparents (or other special older relative or family friend) to join us for a joyful afternoon in school. 

    During the afternoon, the children will be performing a selection of poems and asking thoughtful questions to their guests. We are also inviting grandparents to share some of their own stories or memories with the children. The children are always fascinated to learn about the past! There will be a range of food for guests to enjoy.

  • VE Day - Thursday 8th May

    Published 29/04/25

    On Thursday 8th May 2025, we will be commemorating Victory in Europe (VE) Day with a special day of celebration and reflective learning. To symbolise peace and unity, we would like children to come to school dressed in white. We hope that this simple, visual gesture will help set the tone for the day and mark the occasion in a respectful and inclusive way. The kitchen has put together a special lunch menu that is inspired by dishes from 1945 (please find menus attached). We also have outlined our plans for the day which can be found below.
