Young Climate Warriors Visit to School
Fri 21 Nov 2025Today, we enjoyed an informative assembly from a representative from the Young Climate Warriors Organisation. We learnt about climate change and how we can make small changes to our behaviour to help make a big difference to our world!
Please look out for the fun weekly challenges that will be posted on Weduc! Your family can also join in. The eco-council will be reminding us regularly to take part and to remember the YCW saying, 'If you love your planet, make a change! Little by little, a little becomes a lot!'
Please see the YCW website for further details.

Year 6 Visit to Gurdwara
Thu 13 Nov 2025Today, 13th November, Year 6 went to the Gurdwara. When we got there we went into a marquee and met Nirmal, our guide. Before we went into the Gurdwara we had to wash our hands, take our shoes off and cover our heads. When we went in he showed us the kitchens and that some people were peeling potatoes and chopping them. There were also big bowls and pots and pans, some were being stored and some were being washed. We also saw the gym in the Gurdwara. Then we went upstairs and saw both prayer rooms. We first went into the main one and could pretend to give a donation and bow to their God. In the second prayer room we went behind the podium and saw the written scriptures and why they were waving the Chaur (a religious wand). Nirmal then told us about the 5Ks and how they were important. We then ate lunch sat in the dining hall with the members of the Gurdwara and the public before coming home.

Year 5 Church Trail in Princes Risborough
Fri 17 Oct 2025On the 16th of October we went on a church trail in Princes Risborough. The churches we went to were St. Teresa's the Baptists and St. Mary’s.
St. Teresa's
In St. Teresa's we learnt about the Sanctuary Lamp which reminds us that God is always here. There are enormous domes that keep the heat in. There are 14 pictures of Jesus's last day that are beautiful gold leaf paintings.
The Baptists
At the Baptists we saw Mrs Hirst there she told us that the hole in the floor is a baptistry and there are beams to cover it up. There’s a balcony that you can see all of the bottom level of the church. We were given a biscuit and juice at the start to keep our brains going. We got to do a very interesting scavenger hunt about the church.
St. Mary's
The altar has 2 massive candles on top. Did you know there’s a secret mark called the bishop's mark. This is an old church. One of the main things they do is holy communion on a Sunday morning. They use wafers, made out of water and flour, and wine. The font has an old sink in it that they use for baby baptisms.
My favourite church was the Baptists because Mrs Hirst was there and all the facts were so fascinating.

Year 2 walk to Princes Risborough
Fri 17 Oct 2025Year 2's walk to Princes Risborough this morning
Our field trip to Princes Risborough by Polly On our walk we went past some houses. Mr Stannett us some human and physical features. The physical
feature was The Brook. The Brook was not straight because it had been there a long time and humans had made steps to go over it. Next, we went to see a surprise person and it was Mrs. Hirst. She gave us a drink and a snack and it was amazing. Finally, we walked back to school Princes Risborough.by Clemmie
We left school. We went past the church. We went past the Dovecot, this is a human feature. Next, we saw a physical feature, it was a stream. We went to the church and we saw Mrs Hirst. We had some squash and biscuits. We had the best time. Finally, it was time to head back. We went past a shelter and we were back at school. I had an amazing time on my trip.

Year 1 Visit from the paramedics
Wed 15 Oct 2025Luke and Megan came to visit us. They work at Stoke Mandeville Hospital. We learned how to call an ambulance when someone we know is hurt. They showed us some equipment, including something that showed our heartbeat. We looked at Mrs Horton's heartbeat and it was healthy! They showed us how they get to our homes and we had to tell them our address! We know we only call 999 if it is an emergency!
