Dear All,

In school this week, we have been celebrating the Royal Wedding.  Kingfishers children performed a mock wedding, officiated by Reverend Paul; they also had the chance to see Mrs Kite's & Mrs Clark's wedding dresses.  The older children learnt the art of sugar craft and made some roses for the celebratory cake which was cut during the special lunch on Thursday. Please click on the links and visit the website to see some amazing photos. 

Next week, it is 'Walk to School week' - the usual meetings places are The Institute and the top of Strickmere.  School staff will be there for 8.25am to set off walking for 8.30am. Wearing your favourite footwear to school day is Tuesday (no 'heelies' or crocs please). 

Regarding the school trip to London, we are just waiting on a few replies, but hope to let you know how many spare tickets there will be this week. 

Finally, a well done to our Year 6 children who have completed their SATs.  You've all worked hard and you should be very proud of yourselves. 

If you have any questions about anything happening in the school, please do not hesitate to speak to myself or one of the teachers. 

Mrs Karen Bilner
Headteacher

On Wednesday afternoon the children in Kingfisher Class participated in their own ‘Royal Wedding’ of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Reverend Rosalind came to school and carried out the wedding ceremony. The children took on a role and all enjoyed the special occasion. After the wedding the children enjoyed a piece of wedding cake <Read More>

This week  in art the Woodpeckers continued their learning on Sculptures and created ‘Land Art’ by gathering natural materials found in the den building area and working to create their own sculptures <Read More>

 

On Wednesday 9th May, two lifeguards from Hadleigh pool came to deliver a Drowning Prevention training session to the Owls class. The children were taught what the different flags that you see on the beach meant, and practiced spotting dangers in various locations. They looked at some of the equipment that can be used to rescue people and got to try on a lifeguard uniform (the highlight for many!) The children listened and participated really well and were a credit to the school. Many thanks to Hadleigh Pool for putting this on for us <Read More>

 

The children walked sensibly in pairs up to Hall Farm. They followed instructions and stayed in their pairs, walking slowly across the road when told to do so. They arrived at the farm and were met by the farmer who led them around the farm trail. They looked at the animals and asked questions, listening to what the farmer had to tell them. They carefully stroked the donkeys and lambs when told they could and they remembered not to be too hard or loud <Read More>
