Success Stories

avenueprimaryacademy / 4 Apr 2025
We have learnt about ADHD this week. ADHD affects the way your brain works and explored that it is a bit like having a “racing car brain”. We also discussed how some people with ADHD can make great inventors and entrepreneurs because they are so creative! Children in Key stage 1 explored being creative by completing ‘this is not a box’ activities.

Today Year 5 were part of the Chickpea Project and got to taste Noah’s Pudding.  The Life of a Chickpea is a workshop that utilises the creative imagination of students to aspire to actively promote the British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance for those of different cultures, faiths and beliefs. We had visitors from the Muslim, Quaker and Hong Kong communities as well as two police officers. #noahspudding

📚 Book swap 📚 On world book day our wonderful PTA team set up and organised a book swap for the children. On the run up to world book day children brought in books that they no longer needed to help create a book swap for each other. The PTA got in the spirit of the day and also dressed up and created an amazing display of books ready for the Children. Thank you for creating this event, all the children loved being able to choose a new book to take home.

Rhino Class took place in a sitting volleyball tournament with 8 other local schools. They won some games and those they lost were only by a narrow margin. The children had worked hard over the half term to learn the rules and skills they would need to take part and represented the school brilliantly showing resilience, team work, perseverance and great sportsmanship.  They should be very proud of themselves! 🏐 🏅
