Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
The Year 5 team planned an exciting day this week giving pupils a flavour of Ancient Greece. A fun day was had by all with drama, architecture and ancient maths as some of the activities. Well done on bringing the curriculum to life!
Well, this is exactly what the Year 4 pupils did on Wednesday! It began with a tomb experience and ended with the creation of clay canopic jars. Many of the children dressed up and you can see the photos of the day on the dojo account.
Well done to you all for being part of such a fun learning experience
Thank you for all the Harvest donations.
Our special assembly is due this afternoon, led by our Year 3 pupils.
After this, we will be distributing the Harvest gifts within the community via our local food bank.
Mrs A brought the excitement of Diwali to share with the pupils in Year 5. The children worked with her to paint diva lamps which will be taken to her house to use in her family's celebration. She then spend many a moment with care creating beautiful henna designs for the children and staff.
We wish everyone a Happy Diwali for next week.
Thank you to everyone who supported this charity event - we managed to raise £258! Mrs Willsher has taken this to the post office to pledge on behalf of the school. Our certificate will be put on display in our school foyer as soon as it arrives. Many thanks.
Next Tuesday is our Harvest festival - a lovely celebration led by our Year 3 pupils.
We would like to create a harvest table of food donations. This could be a tin of food, a carton of custard, some apples or veg or even a packet of biscuits. If every child brought bring in just one item, we will be able to provide many lovely hampers to donate to worthy causes in our community such as our local elderly residents, churches and food banks. Any donations can be brought to school for our harvest table from tomorrow.
We will then arrange to have the 'gifts' distributed by the end of term.
Many thanks for supporting this good cause.
