🍕 Little imaginations, big learning!

Our Nursery children love bringing their ideas to life through role play and one of our chefs has certainly been busy in the kitchen. 👨‍🍳

From choosing toppings and preparing his pizza to popping it in the oven and serving it up ...there’s so much learning happening through play.

Activities like these help children develop their communication and language skills, build confidence and grow in independence, all while having lots of fun. ❤️

🌟💜 PROUD to Be a Badger! 💜🌟

What a fantastic range of work our Senior Leadership Team had the pleasure of celebrating during PROUD last week.

From beautiful pencil drawings in Year 5 Art and independently written fear tales in Year 6, to brilliant Geography work ...exploring the United Kingdom in KS1, there was so much to celebrate across the academy.

We loved seeing the care, effort and pride that our children have put into their learning. It was wonderful to hear them talk so confidently about their work and share their achievements with us.

Every child who attended PROUD received a certificate and a prize to recognise their fantastic efforts and achievements.

👏 Well done to everyone who shared their work today. You certainly made us PROUD! 💜

Take a lot at our latest Badger's Print, celebrating the achievements from our most recent Pride & Joy assembly.

Proud to be a Badger. 💜

🌟 KS1 Outdoor Adventure Day with Cleveland Sports Partnership 🌟

Our Key Stage 1 children had an absolute blast stepping into the wild for an exciting, action-packed morning, joining in with, "I’m a School Child, Get Me Out of Here!"🌲🐍

Throughout the ...morning, our young adventurers tackled a series of fun and tricky challenges designed to build teamwork, communication, and resilience:

🧩 The Ultimate Pipeline Challenge: Hands down the trickiest task of the day. The children used pieces of guttering to keep a ball rolling without letting it hit the ground—requiring lightning-fast speed as the person at the front had to sprint straight to the back just in time to catch the ball again.

🙈 Blindfolded Rope Walk: Guiding each other safely along a winding trail relying purely on trust and clear direction.

👽 Alien Hunt & Code Cracking: Spotting mysterious aliens and testing memory skills under pressure.

🐊 Crocodile River Crossing: Working together to map out a safe route across "dangerous" waters without a teammate falling in.

🥢 Pool Noodle Chopsticks: Teaming up in pairs to lift and transport balls using pool noodles.

🐾 Yeti & Animal Match: Racing in teams across the field to match up hidden animal cones while keeping an eye out for yetis.

We are so proud of how our KS1 children encouraged one another, tried new things, and never gave up when the challenges got tough. A huge thank you to Andy and Alfie from Cleveland Sports Partnership for hosting such a memorable and active day out! 🏅👏

🌟 40/40 CLUB 🌟

Each week, our Year 6 children complete an arithmetic paper, challenging themselves to maintain or beat their own personal best.

A huge congratulations to Ethan, Inara and Alfie who are the latest pupils this academic year to achieve a perfect score of 40/40 ...and secure their places in our 40/40 Club! 🏆

These children were proudly presented with their special 40/40 Club badges and certificates during our most recent Pride & Joy assembly.

What a fantastic achievement! Keep up the brilliant work. ⭐

🚒 Look at our amazing fire engines 🔥

After a visit from our local firefighters, Reception have been busy creating their own fire engine pictures.

Mrs Lyth was so impressed with how carefully everyone thought about the shapes and details of their fire trucks. The children ...were so proud of their creations and couldn’t wait to show them off to the camera. ❤️

Well done, Reception 👏
