Our first Doves Assembly since Covid and the children pulled it out of the bag. We were so proud of their attitude during our rehearsals and how involved they got at adding extra bits into the script. A great performance and your teachers are very proud of you. Well done,,
As a part of Leeds United’s Primary Choices initiative, we were lucky enough to be visited by two colleagues who discussed important issues around the law and anti-social behaviour. This was for children moving from Primary to Secondary. Our children were a credit to Tranmere and joined in with all the activities maturely, whilst asking …
The children from both classes have had a lovely time playing together as part of Mental Health Week. The Year 6s were supposed to be the leaders but we are not sure who was leading who!

They were introduced to some new vocab and learnt how to ask simple questions, colours and numbers – a fun filled interactive lesson that they all lapped …
To celebrate World Maths Day, we spent some time tackling Algebra problems – quite a shock for some!! As a new concept, the children really tried to grasp the idea of balancing equations – definitely a few headaches by the end ( especially the adults). They have all come home with a QR code in …
