Our Year 6 play told the story of Refugee Boy, based on a book written by Benjamin Zephaniah. We wrote our own words, created our own songs and told a deeply emotional story about belonging, change and resilience. The children displayed these qualities throughout rehearsals and the performance, and they were incredible to watch. We are sending them out into the world, braver, more determined and with confidence and pride. Well done Year 6! Well done Gainsborough.

#refugeeweek2026 Another week, another walk. This week is Refugee Week. We have been thinking about how it feels to lose your home, how a new country might feel and how we can make people feel welcome in our home town. Year 6 led our Walk for Refugees showing our community we stand with refugees. Well done Gainsborough! #keepconnected

Wild Flower Walk. We took our assembly outside again this week, enjoying a shared experience and celebrating what a wonderful area we have access to. We walked to Wick Woodland, checking a wild flower checklist as we went. We spotted most British wild flowers that were expected in Spring. Year 6 had a Summer wild flowers checklist and most of their flowers had not yet bloomed. Well done years 1-6. #outdoorlearning #keepgreen

Year 6 worked through the 100 climate actions from @ling.tan.ql low carbon banquet. They chose some that we are going to to work on as a school and presented a very persuasive argument to our art teacher, food educator and headteacher about how we as a school can take more actions to tackle climate change. Watch this space! #keepgreen

Year 6 visited the Low Carbon Banquet exhibited at the Hackney Service Centre this week. The banquet has been designed by artist @ling.tan.ql to raise awareness of the carbon our food uses and how we can reduce that. The children in year 5 and 6 have grown, prepared and eaten food at Gainsborough and their photos, videos and climate actions are part of the installation. Thank you @ling.tan.ql for this opportunity, many low carbon meals will now follow! #keepgreen #keephealthy #keepconnected
