📖 Storybook Magic in Epple Bay! 📖 Our Epple Bay adventurers swapped their school uniforms for book covers today! From classic heroes to modern-day villains, Year 6 have brought their favorite stories to life for World Book Day. It’s been a fantastic day of sharing recommendations and celebrating the power of a great book. A massive thank you to all the parents and carers for the incredible effort that went into these costumes!

🚀'How did we learn to fly?' 🚀 As part of their history unit last term, Palm Bay had an astronaut and space day, where their learning really came to life. The children took part in space-themed activities, watched the moon landings, looked at the international space station and even tried astronaut food; vanilla and chocolate ice cream, bananas, apples and sweets. Great work Palm Bay!

A reminder- tomorrow id our 'Come as Yourself' day. This week we are celebrating Children's Mental Health Week and on Friday we would like to invite everyone to our ‘Come As Yourself’ Day! In return for a small donation, children (and staff) are invited to wear an outfit which makes them feel most comfortable, confident, and like they truly belong — whether that’s cosy clothes, cultural dress, favourite colours, or something totally unique. Celebrate what makes you, you! 💃
