Read below to find out more about some of the different activities we have been getting up to; from sporting and musical activities, to visitors and 'wow' days. We are looking forward to helping our children 'explore and grow' further in 2025-26.

• RLT Dance Show

  Wed 22 May 2024 M Davis

  On Wednesday, Cobalt class took part in the annual RLT Dance Show at Catmose College. This year we were dancing to 'Believer', with strong movements and additional floor drumming. 

   

  The children did an amazing show, with great confidence - and it was great to see almost all of the class taking part. 

   

  Well done to all concerned, and thank you to Mrs Larratt and Mrs Creed for accompanying the children.

• Pilgrimage to Peterborough

  Tue 21 May 2024 M Davis

  Tuesday saw the whole school depart from Exton on a coach for our pilgrimage to Peterborough Cathedral. A pilgrimage is literally 'a journey', and there was much excitement from our younger children about travelling on a coach!

   

  The day had been put together for us by the education team at Peterborough Cathedral to help the children understand more about their diocesan cathedral and its history, and to understand a little more about what it means to be a church school. 

   

  In the morning the younger children used bricks, pictures, material and other resources to recreate our journey to Peterborough Cathedral from Exton in the aisles of the cathedral. They also had the opportunity to create their own bishop's mitres.

   

  Meanwhile, in other parts of the cathedral, the older classes took part in a trio of activities to create pilgrim badges; to understand more about the role of the bishop and what the diocese is; and to find out more about the history of the cathedral and the buildings that preceded it. 

   

  After a quick lunch, it was time to explore some of our learning through art activities, with Aqua class making smudge art using some of the symbols they had seen around the church. Teal and Cobalt classes explored the cathedral building, looking for different shapes of interest, and then created pastel and ink art to create their own cathedral shape. 

   

  The day concluded with a shared collective worship in the nave of the church, where Canon Tim led us in readings and prayers, and we raised the roof with our singing.

   

  Thank you to the cathedral team for putting the day together for us - we certainly have a better understanding of the cathedral as our 'mother church'. 

   

  It was great to have so many lovely comments from both the volunteers at the cathedral, and from the public who were sharing the space, about how beautifully behaved and polite the children were.

   

  We look forward to visiting the cathedral again in the future.

  

• EYFS RLT Multiskills Festival

  Mon 20 May 2024 M Davis

  The EYFS children had a fantastic morning at the RLT Multiskills festival alongside EYFS children from other RLT schools. 

   

  The morning took the format of a 'round robin' of activities for each group to visit, with activities such as bouncing balls, balancing a ball on a bat and jumping.

   

  The children enjoyed all of the activities and were a credit to the school and their parents.

• Harriet and her Harp

  Thu 02 May 2024 M Davis

  A huge thank you to Harriet Flather for bringing her harp in to help with Teal class's science topic this week. As well as helping the children explore the science of sound and how it is made, she also performed for the rest of the school. The children really enjoyed seeing a real harp and hearing it played by an expert!
