What a fantastic opportunity for our Year 5 children as they continue reading The Viewer! Today, they had the chance to meet Tristan and discover more about his character, including what led him to look into the viewer and why the experience left him feeling so frightened.
A huge thank you to Mrs Riley, our headteacher, for bringing writing to life and helping the children deepen their understanding of the story by stepping into the role of Tristan. Experiences like this make reading truly memorable and inspire our young learners to engage with texts in a meaningful and imaginative way. 📚✨

🎡 Year 6 brought the Goose Fair to Huntingdon today!
The children got into the Goose Fair spirit by making some delicious fairground treats and learning more about this brilliant Nottingham tradition.
And, of course, no Goose Fair celebration would be complete without meeting a very special goose! 🪿
What a fun way to celebrate a piece of our city’s history!
