EASTER HAT CELEBRATION

On Monday 25th March, we held a very ‘Egg-citing’ Easter Hat Competition in school. Children and their parents really worked hard to create some extraordinary hats and these were all celebrated in class. (see photographs below)

Our Chair of Governors, Mrs Dunkley, was then given the very difficult task of choosing a winning hat from each of our 23 classes and an overall winner in school.

Congratulations to our class winners below. Our TWO overall winners were Ryan and Greyson – they received an additional prize and their hats were worn by Mr Pridden, our bingo caller, at Easter Family Bingo!

WELL DONE to all our entrants – your hats were all excellent!

Visitor to Year 2

As part of our current R.E. topic in Y2, we enjoyed bringing Judaism to life in the classroom when a visitor came to deliver a workshop about ‘objects in the home’.

The children were able to handle artefacts, ask questions and learn about what Jewish people do in the home on Shabbat. We discussed what Shabbat is, when it takes place and what preparation is done for Shabbat. The children enjoyed their experience and were encouraged to think about their own lives and what is really good about having a ‘time of rest’.

 

SPONSORED PANCAKE FLIP 2024

On Friday 9th and Monday 12th February, all children in school took part in our sponsored pancake flip – trying to flip as many (wooden) pancakes as possible in two minutes!

As you can see from the photographs below, the children had a great time taking part. THANK YOU for your very generous sponsorship and MANY THANKS to all the adults who came into school to help with counting flips – we really could not run the sessions without your support.

CHRISTMAS PERFORMANCES IN SCHOOL

P.T.A. END OF YEAR DISCOS

Our children had a lovely time at all of our PTA End of Year Discos this week. We also drew out the names of the lucky winners in our Name The Bear Competition!

Thank you to all those who attended and to those who took part in the competition.

Our thanks also go to the Parent Members of the PTA who helped to organise the events and gave up their time to help at each one.

Year 2 Trips to Staircase House

This half term, our Year 2 children have been learning about The Great Fire Of London. In order for them to ‘experience’ the events of September 1666, we took them to Staircase House in Stockport.

Here, all our children were able to see the type of house and belongings of the people who lived at that time. They were then able to dress up and take part in re-telling the story, alongside Samuel Pepys!
