• Sleepover fun!

  Mon 10 Jul 2023

  It was the Year Three Sleepover on a friday night at the end of June. The pupils had a marvellous time playing a variety of board games, decorating a photo frame and completing a treasure hunt to discover the mystery location of their snacks! They also enjoyed roasting marshmallows over a campfire. Afterwards, they unpacked their sleeping bags and settled down with a delicious hot chocolate to watch a film. When the lights were turned off, a vast array of sounds could be heard from the four classrooms, including giggling, shuffling and chatting but after a while, all children were fast asleep. At crack of dawn, the children woke up and tucked into a delicious, multi-course breakfast, packed up their belongings and headed home. 

  “It was good, we had lots of fun. There were many different activities, more than you could count.” (Renesmee)

  “My favourite part was the movie and snack because we stayed up very late.” (Poppy)

  “I couldn’t pick a favourite bit because it was all so fun. There were so many activities, so you could never get bored.” (Alexandria)

  Well done Year Three for a fantastic sleepover!

  

• New books!

  Thu 06 Jul 2023

  Thanks to parents and children who supported our book sale in March, we earned enough points from Scholastic to buy some fabulous new fiction and non-fiction books for our Accelerated Reader library.

   

  We still have some points left, so we are hoping to replace some of our worn-out dictionaries and buy some of the books on our Amazon wishlist. If anyone would like to buy a book as an end of year gift for the school, you can find the list at https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/1ANQ6LMRI76JR?ref_=wl_share
