ππ¦ A Joyful Start for Hummingbird Nursery at Lower Heath!
What a wonderful beginning to the new academic year for our Hummingbird Nursery children! Their first week was bursting with joy, exploration, and connection and we couldnβt be prouder.
From imaginative role-play and creative crafts to joyful singing sessions, the nursery has been alive with energy and excitement. Itβs been heartwarming to see children reunite with old friends, welcome new ones, and show kindness, courage, and curiosity every step of the way.
π One of the weekβs highlights? Our beloved Allwood World outdoor session affectionately known as Wellie Wednesday! The children immersed themselves in nature, exploring mud, sticks, leaves, and the magic of the great outdoors through sensory play. Their faces lit up with wonder and delight!
Weβre so proud of how confidently each child has settled in, and we canβt wait for all the adventures this term will bring.

π Robin Class β What a Start to Reception! π
What a fantastic first week in Robin Class! Our youngest learners have settled in beautifully and wasted no time diving into a world of exploration, creativity, and friendship.
From outdoor adventures in Allwood World to calming Yoga sessions, colourful painting, and imaginative play in the sand area, the children have embraced every moment with joy and curiosity. Most importantly, theyβve begun building the kind, supportive friendships that make Lower Heath so special.

The end of the summer term saw us arrive at the end of our 12-month Speak and Shine project at Lower Heath CE Primary School and what a fantastic journey itβs been!
Twelve of our brilliant children took part in English Speaking Board (ESB) exams, an opportunity typically found in private schools, but proudly made possible for our children here at Lower Heath. And wow, did they rise to the challenge!
Our young speakers delighted the examiner with: π€ Memorised poems π Expressive reading π£οΈ Personal talks about meaningful items from favourite toys and Queen Elizabeth II, to family cheese-making traditions and even a message in a bottle found in Switzerland!
We introduced the ESB exams to: β Build confidence β Develop powerful communication skills β Give every child a platform to express themselves with pride and purpose
These are life skills and the transformation in self-belief and speaking ability has been nothing short of inspiring.
The examiner was truly impressed, and we couldnβt be prouder of each and every child who took part.
Our children had an unforgettable journey back in time during their Kings, Queens and Castles workshop with the brilliant team from Reach Out!
They explored the daily life of a wealthy household π§Ή Discovered the roles of servants π§Έ Played with replica historical toys, comparing them to the ones they enjoy today
A magical, memorable day full of learning, laughter, and living history. A huge thank you to the amazing team at Reach Out! for giving our children such a fantastic experience.
ποΈββοΈβ¨ What a Day at St Georgeβs Park! β¨ποΈββοΈ
Our children had an unforgettable experience at the iconic home of English football, St Georgeβs Park, as part of our 12-month project to make golf more inclusive and accessible to all. β³οΈ
They took part in the Majesticks Little Sticks Golf Experience and what an experience it was!
Thanks to top-quality equipment and expert training for our staff, our children were able to enjoy a sport that hasnβt always been within reach for everyone. The session was brought to life by none other than Ian Poulter and Sam Horsfield, who generously shared their time, passion, and skills with our young learners.
A huge thank you to Little Sticks for such a brilliantly organised and inspiring day. This wasnβt just a trip, it was a step forward in inclusion, opportunity, and pure joy.
A huge congratulations to two incredibly talented children, Frankie and Jennifer, who danced their hearts out at the UK Open Platform Irish Dance Competition in Weston-super-Mare.
π₯ Frankie placed 3rd π Jennifer placed 4th β in the highly competitive Open Platform category! An amazing achievement, especially for such young dancers competing at such an elite level!

πβ¨ A Magical Visit from Professor Klunk! β¨π
Our Year 2 children were thrilled to receive a mysterious invitation to meet Professor Klunk in the magical world of Allwood World!
They loved chatting about their favourite places from the Quest, the challenges they overcame, and the Faithful Friends who helped along the way. Professor Klunk was full of praise for their teamwork, creativity, and clever code-cracking!
Then came the big reveal⦠the Quest has officially ended, and their final stop was the Bridge of Doom!
