• Gunthorpe Remembers

  Tue 11 Nov 2025

  For Remembrance Day, each class created a beautiful wreath to mark the occasion. We came together for a minute’s silence and a special collective worship, reflecting on the importance of remembering while praying for all those affected by conflict. Some of our Junior 2 children also read In Flanders Fields, which was extremely moving and added great depth to our time of reflection.

  

• Odd Sock Day - Anti Bullying Week

  Mon 10 Nov 2025

  To mark Odd Socks Day, children and staff came to school wearing bright, colourful and wonderfully mismatched socks. The day was a fun way to celebrate individuality and remind everyone that it’s good to be different. Through class discussions and activities, we explored the importance of kindness and respecting one another. It was a cheerful start to Anti-Bullying Week, with our whole school community joining in.

  

• Diwali Celebrations

  Tue 04 Nov 2025

  This week our Infant children enjoyed learning about Diwali, the Hindu Festival of Lights. The children explored the different ways people celebrate Diwali and the importance of light in the festival.

  They loved creating their own diya lamps, using and experimenting with mehndi designs, drawing intricate patterns. They worked together to make colourful rangoli patterns to welcome good luck.

  As part of their learning, the children listened to the story of Rama and Sita, discovering how it links to the triumph of good over evil and why lights are so important during Diwali.
