Pupils at Church Hill C of E Junior School stepped back in time recently as the whole school took part in two exciting Ancient Greek Days, packed full of creativity, history and hands‑on learning.

Across the two days, children explored key aspects of Ancient Greek civilisation, linking their learning to the National Curriculum through history, English, design and technology, cooking and PE. The immersive experience allowed pupils to deepen their understanding of the ancient world while developing practical skills and enjoying a wide range of engaging activities.

On Monday, Church Hill CofE Junior School was buzzing with excitement as pupils took part in a whole-school STEM Day, organised by our Science Leader, Mrs Kite.

The day began with a spectacular assembly packed full of fascinating science experiments. Children watched in amazement as a lemon erupted, tried to work out the secret behind a mysterious leaking bottle and even discovered how it is possible to step through a single piece of paper!

This week, Church Hill C of E Junior School was filled with laughter, excitement and plenty of audience participation as the pantomime ‘M&M’ came to perform for all our children.

The whole school gathered to enjoy a lively and entertaining performance packed with humour, colourful characters and classic pantomime fun. From cheering and clapping to joining in with the traditional “it’s behind you!”, the children were fully engaged from start to finish. The performers did a fantastic job of making the show interactive and inclusive, ensuring that every year group felt part of the experience.

What a wonderfully French-filled day we have had at Church Hill! From the moment the children arrived, the school was alive with French language, culture and creativity as we celebrated French Day 2026.
