Today we had our very first Opal playtime, and what a fantastic start it was with the playground buzzing with excitement as the children explored the different areas and activities. They raced around in tyres and chairs, built amazing dens, and got creative with Lego and chalk. There were games, teamwork, and plenty of imagination everywhere we looked. It was wonderful to see everyone having fun, exploring, and playing together. Hamish loved watching the OPAL adventures too! 🐶🌳🌞

Year 6 took part in an exciting mock trial this week, based on the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. This fun and engaging activity gave us a chance to step into the roles of lawyers, witnesses and jurors, helping us understand how the legal system works in real life. We explored ideas such as fairness, evidence and making balanced decisions, all while building our confidence in speaking and critical thinking. This opportunity was made possible through the work of All Rise, an organisation dedicated to providing legal education to young people who might not otherwise experience it. Their mission is to empower students with knowledge of their legal rights and the justice system, helping to foster respect for the law and encourage thoughtful decision-making. Founded by James Stewart, All Rise is leading the way in bringing law to life in primary schools in a fun and interactive way.
