Today we held a Remembrance Service in school and visited the church to see the poppies, information and artefacts on display.  It was both informative and beautiful.  During our service, we shared the story of the poppy and marked a two minute silence in remembrance of those who have fallen or suffered in conflict.  Thank you to our Year 6 readers who contributed to our service by reading 'In Flanders Fields' and 'For the Fallen'.  

Yesterday Roz Savage, our local MP came to visit us.  After a tour of the school, she gave a talk to Diamond Class about her incredible achievement rowing across three oceans, environmental campaigning and life as an MP.  Our pupils quizzed Roz on everything from her views on Lime Down Solar Park to the animals she encountered on her ocean travels.  It was a really interesting afternoon which left us all feeling inspired. 

A huge thank you to parents, grandparents, staff and children who gave so generously of their time and energy today to improve the school grounds.  Brambles were cut, dead wood and rubble removed, the compost area dug over and organised, ivy removed, gutters cleared, the area by the sheds comprehensively tidied and a shed painted.  All helped along the way by homemade biscuits and cake!  Together we filled three trailers with green waste and the school grounds look all the better for it.  Thank you once again to all involved.  See Galleries for more...

Ruby have been busy baking in preparation for a visit from their pre-school leaders today.  Their cakes look and smell delicious.  Enjoy!

Emerald have been telling stories through drawing and have brought Robert Louis Stevenson's poem 'The Lamplighter' to life with their creations.  They've been focusing on line, shape and composition and are now adding colour.  It was lovely to walk in last week and see a masterclass in action!
