Year 5 had a lovely afternoon working with clay, moulding it into replicas of Ancient Greek pots as part of their history learning. We’re looking forward to painting and decorating them next week to bring them to life!
A fantastic hands-on way to explore Ancient Greece 🇬🇷

Year 3 took part in a fantastic workshop with Encounter Christianity this afternoon, all about inspirational people. It really got us thinking about the qualities that make someone inspiring and the positive impact individuals can have on others 🧐💭
A thoughtful and engaging session that sparked some great discussions!
🐦🌳 An exciting start to the morning!
Jane, one of our lovely reading volunteers, told us she’d heard a woodpecker on her way into school today. Year 5 couldn’t resist a bit of investigating… and we were thrilled not only to hear it, but to spot this beautiful bird too!
A brilliant reminder of the wildlife right on our doorstep and a perfect real-life learning moment 🌿👀

Brentry Primary School has achieved Silver Rail Safe Friendly Certification 🥈
This recognises our commitment to rail safety and to sharing vital, life-saving information with our pupils, parents and carers. Helping to keep our community informed and safe is incredibly important to us, and we’re delighted to have this recognised.
Thank you to everyone who has supported this work — together, we’re helping to keep our children safe.
Year 3 had a fantastic time today on their trip to We The Curious!
They enjoyed exploring, investigating and getting hands-on with science 🧪🔭
Lots of curiosity, excitement and brilliant questioning – a wonderful day of learning in action!
As part of our work towards the Silver Rail Safe Friendly Award, we’ve been asked to share this postcard with our school community.
Promoting rail safety is an important way we can all help keep our children safe around railways. Thank you for supporting this message and helping us keep safety a top priority.
Year 2 had a very exciting and informative visit from Avon Fire & Rescue Service today! The children learned all about fire safety, explored the equipment used by firefighters, and even had a go at using the hose 🚒💦
It sparked some great discussions about how firefighting equipment today is far more advanced than it was back in 1666 during the Great Fire of London. A fantastic hands-on experience and a brilliant link to our learning – thank you for visiting us!
We’re holding a cake sale after school tomorrow to raise funds for our Year 3 Romam Celebration Day 🇬🇷
All cake donations are very welcome – please drop them off at the school office in the morning.
The cake sale will take place in the KS2 playground after school.
Thank you for your continued support 💙
This week, Year 5 have been learning about a range of different jobs during their PSHE lessons. To bring the topic to life, the children played a game of job charades, using clues and teamwork to guess each role.
They then worked together to rank the jobs from what they believed were the highest-paid to the lowest-paid roles. Mrs Moore shared approximate salary figures for each job, which led to some thoughtful discussions — and a very lively conversation about how much footballers earn! 🫣⚽
A great lesson for sparking curiosity, debate and real-world understanding.
Year 5 had a brilliant science lesson this afternoon, putting their questioning skills to the test!
With an animal stuck to their back, pupils could only ask closed questions to work out what they were.
Lots of laughter, great thinking and some excellent scientific reasoning on display!
