Coronation Event

A BIG thank you to our wonderful PTFA for putting on a very special afternoon last Friday.   The playground was decorated beautifully with bunting, coffee and cakes were laid on and, as an extra special surprise, an ice cream van arrived with fabulous ice creams for everyone.  The weather even stayed dry so we were all able to eat together outside.  

Thanks to Mrs N Edwards, Mrs Baker, Mrs Murrell and Mrs Sargent for spending most of their day setting everything up.

SATs 

A special mention must go out to our Year 6s this week for their hard work and dedication to their SATs this week.    For most children, this is their first experience of taking tests in such a formal way and we believe that they handled it all with positivity and maturity. Well done to them all; we are very proud.  

Thanks to Mrs Cross, Mrs Moorhouse and Mrs Hollamby for spending so much time preparing the children for these exams.  

Class 1 Trip to Paley Farm

Class 1 children had a very special trip to Paley Farm yesterday.   A great time was had by all as the children saw new lambs, calves and a 'lame' bull!   The sun shone and it was a beautiful day.   They enjoyed a picnic on the hay bales and had a lovely walk in the sunshine through a field of buttercups.  

Thanks to Cranbrook School who very kindly allowed us to use their minibus for the trip and thanks to Mrs Everett for being brave enough to drive it!

Mental Health Monday

Monday is Mental Health day for us.  We will be holding a range of activities all aimed at mindfulness and wellbeing including music, yoga, walks and meditation and arts and crafts.  

Please can we ask that all children come to school in their PE kits and have wellies and waterproofs if the weather is wet.    If you have yoga matts please bring them. 

Thank you to Mrs Salter, our Mental Health Lead, for organising all the activities and to Mrs Stirling and Mrs Stinton for their help with yoga and meditation.
