• Football Tricks - Jamie Knight (KS 1)

  Wed 25 Jan 2023 Mrs Daubney

  On the 23rd January, the children were visited by Jamie Knight. He is a Guinness World Record holder for football tricks. During the session, he demonstrated the different football tricks he can do and why he has the records. Throughout the session, he coached the children through different skills and tricks. Each trick required more skills and used different techniques. The children enjoyed learning the different tricks and they are looking forward to practising these skills!

  

• Fiji - Year 2

  Thu 15 Dec 2022 Mrs Daubney

  In Year 2, for our Around the World theme, we have been looking at Fiji and comparing it to the Uk. In particular, we looked and compare Suva and Tidworth. We were lucky enough to have a talk from one of our parents who comes from Fiji. We learnt about different animals and geographical features of Fiji. We also learnt some key Fijian words and then were able to ask questions about Fiji. Thank you so much to the parent volunteer who came in to speak with us!

  

• Christmas Musical Performance - Garrison

  Tue 13 Dec 2022 Mrs Daubney

  On Tuesday 13th December, the children in Year 2 were lucky enough to visit the Garrison Theatre. They were able to join other schools in Wiltshire to participate in a Christmas Concert. The music was play by the military band and the children listened to different musicians, instruments and saw different conductors at work. They also managed to help stop Darf Vader and the Grinch from stealing Christmas!

• Christmas Pantomime

  Tue 13 Dec 2022 Mrs Daubney

  Today, we were joined by an amazing Christmas Pantomime! The theatre company called Hobgoblin Theatre Company came in and performed a funny pantomime about Christmas. Throughout the pantomime, the children met different traditional characters and learnt about the key traditions in pantomime. The children particularly enjoyed shouting 'He's behind you!' every time the villain came on the stage!

  The Greta Christmas Robbery Performance

• Christmas Carol Concert

  Fri 09 Dec 2022 Mrs Daubney

  On Thursday 8th December and Friday 9th December, the children performed a fantastic carol concert for all the parents. This was a school wide performance and each year group had a different theme. In EYFS, they performed as snowmen and sang beautiful songs about snowmen. In Year 1, the children were dressed as Father Christmas or Rudolph. They then sang fun festive songs like 'Santa Got Stuck up the Chimney' for the parents. Finally, Year 2 sang traditional songs dressed as carol singers. They performed: Away in a Manger, Little Donkey and We Wish you a Merry Christmas! Throughout the performance, Year 2 children read festive readings to the parents. The concert was a wonderful success and we are looking forward to the next one. Thank you to all the staff and children for all their hard work! 

• Christmas Lunch

  Thu 08 Dec 2022 Mrs Daubney

  On Thursday 8th December, the children across the school were able to participate in Christmas Lunch! They had a wonderful time and were able to eat a range of yummy Christmas food! The hall was decorated with amazing Christmas decorations and trees. It was also full of Christmas music which played throughout lunch. The children had a brilliant time and they are looking forward to the next lunch!

  Thank you very much for helping us to support children in need again this year.  The children looked lovely in their own clothes sporting their silly and crazy hairstyles for the day!  We managed to raise £193 thanks to your generous donations!

  

• Book Fair - Autumn

  Tue 22 Nov 2022 Mrs Daubney

  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 hope you enjoy all the wonderful books you got and we are looking forward to the next book fair! 

   

  Happy reading!

  

• Reading Tree

  Tue 08 Nov 2022 Mrs Daubney

  In assembly, the children discussed and explored the reading tree. We discussed how each child had their own apple for the tree and that daily reading means their apple moves around the tree. We also discussed how their apple will move every 25 days and they are aiming for the exciting golden apple! The children were very excited to hearing about the golden apple and they have all pledged to reach it by the end of the year!

   

  We are looking forward to so many children reaching the exciting golden apple for 250 days of reading!

  

• Harvest Festival

  Tue 11 Oct 2022 Laura Eatherington

  Thank you so much for your kind donations of food for our harvest festival today.  As you can see from the food all boxed up and ready to go to Salisbury foodbank - we have amassed a super collection of tins, packets and jars.  We are very grateful for your generosity and are pleased we are able to help and support those in our community who are in need during these difficult times.  Thank you.
