Rainbow Day

Miss Kelly is busy planning for Rainbow Day and has asked if parents could please send in kitchen roll tubes. We need about 300!! Many thanks.

Years 4 and 5 put on an excellent exhibition of their work this week. It showcased everything they had learnt about their topic throughout the term. Each class visited the exhibition and the parents came along to find out all about their child’s learning. Pops, Our Chair of Governors, was very excited by what he saw: “The children’s displays of work and costumes had obviously been put together with such enthusiasm and great research – well done to all.”

Jean Griffen from South East in Bloom came to judge our flower displays this week. Well done to Mrs Page and all of our gardeners who helped us to create such fabulous displays. We’ll let you know how we did.

Year 4/5: Miss Water’s maths group will be carrying out a traffic survey by the village square on Monday at 9.15am. Please let the office know if you do not wish your child to take part.

Mrs Page invited School Councils from schools all over the locality to come and visit us and look at how we work together. They had a learning walk around the school and took part in workshop activities where they shared ideas from their own schools. After refreshments, there was a presentation by the local Mayor and her colleague about how the council would like to work with schools. The children were asked to give her ideas about how they can all work together. This was followed by a question and answer session. The Mayor was very impressed with how the children worked and said: “It was lovely to see another council and I was interested to see how similar it was to how a real council is run. You should all be very proud.”
