This half term, Year 1 have been learning all about Islam. They explored the celebration of Eid, decorated dates (and sampled them!) and enjoyed a visit to a local mosque to learn more about how Muslims worship.
Wishing a blessed Ramadan to all who are observing from our little ones! 🌙
On Thursday, Year 4 brought the world to the stage with their Cultural Assembly.
We had energetic dandiya, dabke, poetry from around the globe and the most beautiful singing. The assembly was a powerful reminder that every culture, every story and every voice matters.
On Friday 6th February, we celebrated #NSPCCNumberDay across our school.

It was a day where numbers truly counted! 1️⃣2️⃣3️⃣
Last week, 5B spent the morning at Nelson Primary School, where they met the wonderful author Onjali Rauf. She inspired children across all five of our MAT schools with her powerful stories, thoughtful messages, and passion for kindness and empathy.

This year’s Christmas Show had something for everyone.🎄✨
Our talented children shone on stage with wonderful singing, dance, piano and instrumental performances.
A special thank you to Ms Cowley for her dedication and hard work in making the Christmas Show such a joyful highlight every year.
Pyjamas, warm hot chocolate, tasty biscuits, fairy lights and crackling fireplaces set the scene as our children and families enjoyed wonderful stories at our annual Bedtime Stories event.
Thank you to all the parents who joined us - it was a cosy night of community and storytelling to remember.
With libraries facing cuts nationwide, we were proud to welcome published author @vaseemkhanuk.bsky.social, a former pupil, who shared how his local library inspired his love of reading and writing and why protecting libraries matters for future generations.
It was truly inspiring for our students.
Our choir were delighted to return to Green Street Library to perform at their Christmas Coffee Morning.
Along with sharing their lovely singing, the children made beautiful handmade Christmas cards for members of the local community - a truly heart-warming display of kindness and creativity.
This term, we have launched our Equalities & Inclusion Charter, which provides a shared language which guides how we treat one another.
It sits alongside our 5Cs: Care, Confidence, Character, Challenge & Creativity.
More to come as we continue to embed this exciting new chapter at Elmhurst. 🌟
