• TOILET TWINNING CAMPAIGN

  Fri 20 Dec 2019

  Thank you all yet again for your generous support of this campaign. 

  Our Collection this Christmas was for the Toilet Twinning Campaign and with your donations, we collected £137.77 following our Nativity and KS2 Carol Concert at St. Andrew's Church this year.

  This amount will go towards providing basic sanitation and clean water supplies to those less fortunate than ourselves.

  Your help and support is never taken for granted and we appreciate every little donation at this very expensive time of year.

• DRAMA PRODUCTION

  Fri 20 Dec 2019
  Congratulations to the members of our Drama Club for their brilliant  production of 'Inspector Snow & The Twelve Murders of Christmas'.  The children, along with Mrs Holbrook, have worked so hard this term but the hard work paid off on Wednesday when they performed so well.  Thank you to those of you who came long to watch and enjoy!

  

• HEADTEACHER'S AWARD TEA PARTY

  Fri 20 Dec 2019

  Mrs Hillson welcomed children who had been presented with a Headteacher's Award to afternoon tea yesterday.

  The children behaved impeccably and enjoyed a delicious tea together.

• FOUNDATION STAGE 'TRACTOR' VISIT

  Fri 20 Dec 2019

  Andy and the Red Tractor

  Mrs Davies shared a special moment with us - the delivery of her new tractor! Wren and Robin classes were all very excited to find out more about how the tractor is used and how it helps Andy on the farm. The children asked a variety of interesting questions to find out more.

  

• KS2 CAROL CONCERT

  Fri 20 Dec 2019

  A huge thank you to everyone who attended (despite the awful weather) our beautiful KS2 Christingle / Carol Concert last night at St. Andrew's Church.  The children sang beautifully, played recorder beautifully, read beautifully and the congregation joined in beautifully!  What a lovely occasion, one enjoyed by all.

  The mulled wine and mince pies provided and served by the PTFA was much appreciated and warmed everyone up on a wet and windy night!

  School breaks up at the end of the day today and resumes on Wednesday 8th January 2020 for the children.

  Finally, best wishes to you all for a wonderful Christmas and we look forward to seeing you in the New Year.

  

• FORGE HOUSE RESIDENTIAL HOME

  Wed 18 Dec 2019

  Our school choir visited Forge House Residential Home to sing Christmas Carols to the residents.  It was a lovely occasion, enjoyed by the children and the residents.

  We would like to thank Forge House for their kind and very generous donation of £50.00. 

  It is good to build such good relationships with our community and we look forward to this continuing in the new year.

   

   

• FRIENDSHIP WITH ORCHARD LEA RESIDENTIAL HOME

  Wed 18 Dec 2019
  This term, our Foundation Stage children have been making regular visits to the Orchard Lea Residential Home.  They have been singing to the residents and chatting and making new friends.  On Wednesday afternoon, the residents visited school and the children performed their Christmas songs to them.  It is wonderful to see the relationships build up over the weeks - it's good for our senior citizens and great for our Foundation Stage children too.
