Year 5s have been thinking about how we can look after our mental health. We listened to a fantastic story 'Sylvia's Candle' by Katie Hopper, reminding us that we all have an inner strength. katiehopperwriter #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek #thisismyplace #CMHW2026

What a fantastic day! Every year group has taken part in a Stay Safe Initiative session with Richard today.

Year 5 have worked super hard this week on their science big question. We are proud of the beautiful pages they have created! #stbartsway #soar

Year five had an incredible time yesterday diving into the world of the author Phillip Pullman, for Legacy day. After exploring his life and writing their own biographies, they mapped out his books in chronological order to see how his storytelling evolved. The highlight of the day was creating their very own daemons, which are imaginative animal companions that reflect their personalities and strengths. #soar #stbartsway #phillippullman #PhillipPullman #phillippullmanofficial
