Our fifth birthday when many memories were made!
Children across school joined in with a fun day of great activities and mini performances to showcase their learning alongside our fifth birthday celebrations. The new REAL
approach to planning (relevant, engaging, authentic learning) produced some fabulous learning such as a video produced by Y5/6, Talk for Writing themes shared by Reception, Y1 and Y6 and singing from Y2, Y3 and Y4. We loved watching the firework finale – a perfect end to a lovely day. Thank you so much to everyone for coming.
Early Years
Last week our early years team welcomed a special group of visitors from Hartford Court Care Home on Friday. They joined us for lunch and were delighted to see Santa too. They were especially pleased with Chef Lynn’s mince dinner and loved seeing the records of the children’s visits to them as well as the photos. James enjoyed painting and remembered winning art prizes when he was at school and we were delighted to learn that Shirley used to be a pig farmer herself – if only we’d known earlier!

Winter Wonderland!
Santa was even able to spread a bit of Christmas joy to the residents as they visited the yurt’s Winter Wonderland as part of their visit. We were delighted that they wanted to buy some of our commemorative books too.
Who do we think we are?
We have really enjoyed leaving a real legacy for the local community with the publication of our book ‘Who do we think we are?’ as well as the School’s Out article featured in
Thursday’s Chronicle. We still have a few copies of the commemorative book if parents would like to buy extra copies for family and friends. £4 per copy available from the school office.
