Hello everyone

We made it!

On Thursday, Year 2 attended the Come Dance Festival organised by the School’s Sports Partnership.

Today KS1 and KS2 took part in a team building day with their classes. A fantastic day organised by Darren from SSP with help from some of our Y6 sports leaders!  We had a go at various different games which involved lots of team work and communication. The Year 6 pupils were fantastic helpers and had really clear instructions so we understood what to do. Well done everyone!

Hi everyone

It’s been another fantastic week, with Y2 pupils completing their SATs and as with Year 6 last week, I am also very proud of our Y2 children.

On Monday, Year 5 & 6 pupils had a fantastic workshop session with the Chartwell’s Chefs. They talked about food groups and the importance of eating a balanced diet, were shown how to make pasta from scratch and then turned their hands to tortellini and ravioli.

Hello everyone

It hasn’t been a great week with the weather conditions but we still managed for some of our planned events to go ahead!

On Tuesday Reception pupils attended the Sports Festival at Maiden Castle organised by the School’s Sports Partnership, the theme was ‘We’re going on a bear hunt’ and all of the children had a really fun time.

On Thursday morning Year 1 attended Invasion Games at New College also organised by the School’s Sports Partnership, they all had a great time.  Unfortunately, the Year 2 session in the afternoon could not go ahead due to the school closing early, hopefully this will be rearranged shortly.

We will upload some photographs from both events early next week, in the meantime here are some snowy fun photographs.

Many thanks to you all for your support this week, much appreciated, hopefully Spring is on it’s way!

Welcome back everyone, we hope you all had a lovely half term break!
