• Music Concert

  On Thursday 23rd July, the children were treated to a fantastic concert. Mr Hope and Miss Charman put together a wonderful selection of piano pieces for the children. They showed the children the classical musical scores and showed them how they played music from them. The children were then able to listen to pieces such as: Star Wars sound score, Bach and Elton John. All the children had a wonderful time and enjoyed listening to different pieces. 

   

  Thank you Mr Hope and Miss Charman for your incredible performances in the concert!

  

• Poetry Day

  Wed 20 Jul 2022 Lucy Daubney

  The whole school came together to celebrate poetry. Each class was able to focus on a specific poem and complete activities linked to this. The children were then able to create a verse for our new school poem! Throughout the day, the children were also able to share what the poem they had explored with other classes. Poetry Day then finished with a celebratory assembly where the children had poems such as 'Chocolate Cake' by Michael Rosen and 'The Ning Nang Nong' by Spike Milligan performed to them.

• Scholastic Traveling Book Fair

  Mon 11 Jul 2022 Lucy Daubney

  From Tuesday 28th of June to Monday 4th July, we were incredibly lucky to have a visit from the travelling book fair. This was a brilliant opportunity to look at different books and for parents to buy them. The book fair was incredibly busy every day and the children had an amazing time choosing new books. We are pleased to announce that the book fair raised £1111.10 in total! This allowed our school to earn £666 to spend at the book fair! Each class was lucky enough to get some new books. Please ask your child about the books they got for the class. 

   

  Happy reading!

  On Thursday 7th July, all children across the school took part in the Little Troopers' Workshop. This is a workshop which has been specifically created for military children. The focus of the workshop was to explore the feelings the children might have when a family member goes on deployment. It also looked in depth at feelings and wellbeing. All the children enjoyed the workshop and they had lots of fun.
