Our ACE children had a second visit to Revolution Skatepark and Climbing Centre This time the group were given the opportunity to use scooters in the skatepark. The children were cautious to begin with but it was fantastic to see their confidence blossom throughout the session and by the end the children were having a great time (and going rather fast!). 🛴 Great work everyone!

St Mildred's Class gave a magnificent winter performance this week! It was a winter themed story with some of our favourite fairy tale characters! The children handmade all of the costumes, sang beautifully and acted with great enthusiasm, then ended their magical day with a Royal Banquet fit for kings and queens inspired by our Traditional Tales topic.

Our ACE children were given the wonderful opportunity to spend some time at Revolution Skatepark and Climbing Centre this term. Last week they went rock climbing! 🧗 All the children had a great time, faced their fears and learnt new skills. Spirits were high as some of children were able to climb all the way to the top of the wall! With plenty of encouragement from their peers, who cheered them on from down below and were eager to celebrate their success! Look out for photos from our scootering session soon! 🛴

🎭✨ What a magical day for Drapers Mills KS2! ✨🎭 On Tuesday, our KS2 pupils enjoyed a spectacular visit to The Marlowe Theatre to watch Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs — and what a show it was! From breathtaking costumes and lavish sets to fabulous music, unforgettable thrills and side-splitting jokes, it truly was a magical extravaganza from start to finish. The pupils (and adults!) had an absolutely amazing time, and the festive spirit has definitely arrived early this year! 🎄🎶 We are incredibly proud of how brilliantly the children represented our school, showing our core values of Respect and Kindness throughout the entire trip. A huge well done to everyone — what a wonderful way to kick off the season! ❤️👏
