Reception

Well done to all of our children who took part in sports day this week. The weather was good and the children really demonstrated our school values today.

Mrs Gladwinfield will be spending the next four weeks in Kenya. She will be working in a primary school near Gilgil along with Mrs Highton. They have already been working in the school with classes of 60 children many of whom walk 10Km to attend the school.

We gathered our gardening tools and set off to find the muddiest patch of our school field! We carried mud to the forest by […]

This year we wanted to provide a bumper delivery of food although we support throughout the food bank […]

Revd Snow came to celebrate Harvest with us. He thanked Nursery for their Harvest display in church. The children listed foods that might be harvested and spoke about vegetables they’d tried in school and told Revd Snow about the baking they’d done with the school apples – apple crumble and apple muffins. We sang Hallelujah […]
