Our brand new Eco Team met yesterday for the first time to discuss what they wanted to achieve in their new roles. They spoke about looking after our school environment and wondered whether they could think about ways to encourage others to recycle more around school.

WOW! We were blown away to have received this letter in the post from Rt Hon Damian Hinds MP, Minister for Schools, to share that Aureus Primary School is in the top 5% of primary schools in the country in terms of progress between KS1 and KS2! #dreambelieveachieve

We're preparing for the new term beginning next week & looking for new #volunteers so that we can help more #children love reading. If you can spare a little time each week we can offer you a truly rewarding experience #MondayMotivation to apply! dailyinfo.co.uk/volunteering/2…

Y2 had a wonderful RE morning at the end of last term, exploring three different religions: Christianity, Islam and Hinduism. They explored the importance of Holy Communion for Christians and were introduced to the concept of pilgrimages. #dreambelieveachieve

Eid mubarak to all those within the Aureus Primary and GLF Schools community who are celebrating!

Happy Easter to all those within the Aureus Primary and GLF Schools family who are celebrating.

As part of their Wider Curriculum learning, Y2 tasted food considered to be iconically British, including crumpets, marmite, Victoria sponge and decaf tea. They also explored music by Elton John and Harry Styles and British landmarks, including the London Eye and Big Ben!

In just a couple of weeks, on March 8th, we will be celebrating International Women's Day,

It seems appropriate, therefore, to share with you our very own Headteacher Kirsty Rogers' article, published today by the Herald newspaper; 'Inspired to Lead'

We were very lucky to have Mrs Hao visit APS this week to share all about Chinese New Year with individual classes! #dreambelieveachieve

Year 5 enjoyed a scavenger hunt during their RE lesson! They were discovering information about karma and what it means to Hindus.

Last term, Year 5 made amazing periscopes to see if they could help the teachers have 'eyes in the back of their heads'! Here are some of the members of staff trying them out on playground duty! #dreambelieveachieve

Happy Lunar New Year to everyone in the Aureus Primary and GLF Schools Community who is celebrating!

Year 6 have been thinking about what religious discrimination is within their RE lessons this term. They produced some really thought-provoking art work in response to what they have been learning. #dreambelieveachieve

Year 3 had a fantastic time at the Earth Trust learning all about the purposes of bridges and the various types of bridges. Children were able to spend time observing, sketching and using maps, which they thoroughly enjoyed. #dreambelieveachieve

Y1 had a very exciting afternoon looking more closely at different cars - a hybrid car, a Mini and a Morris Minor. The children were able to locate the chassis, the axle and the wheels to help them understand how we might make our own vehicles! #dreambelieveachieve

Last week, a team of Y6 children attended the Sportshall Athletics competition. They had a great time competing in a range of activities including obstacle relays, speed bounce and vertical jump. The children showed amazing resilience, teamwork and grit! #dreambelieveachieve

Our choir had the most wonderful time at #festivalofvoices last night! There were a total of 8472 children participating in the event at the O2 Arena in London and staff and parents who attended were blown away by the magic of all these voices coming together: what an experience!

Happy new year to everyone within the Aureus Primary and GLF Schools family. We look forward to seeing everyone back in school on Monday 8th January.
