Feel-good Friday returns!
Today the Frank Chapman staff visited us at our school and spent the day with our Year 2 children!
They spent the day outside taking part in lots of different outdoor activities to get them excited about their upcoming residential trip in February! The children got to have a go at making their own fire and worked with partners to complete an orienteering course around the field. They worked in teams to play different games and worked on their teamwork and listening skills. They ended the day with a group sing-a-long around a campfire!
Although it was a cold and windy day, all the Year 2 children had a great time and got to build on lots of different skills. Thank you, Frank Chapman!
Mrs Read and Mr Cotterill take delivery of our new stage. We have today taken delivery of a new staging system. Once we have assembled it, the children will be able to enjoy performing for audiences like professionals. It is thanks to everyone's continued fund-raising efforts that we have been able to purchase this piece of equipment.
A huge thank you for your kind donations for Children in Need. So far we have raised £289.32! Thank you very much! The final amount we've raised will be shown on our next newsletter.
Thank you to all of the children who took part in our various competitions this week. The colouring competition winner was Sydney in year 4, the winner for design a Pudsey t.shirt was Felicity in 1M, the winning acrostic poem was written by Emme in year 3 and Kaisan in year 5 correctly guessed the number of M&M's in the tub. All of the winners received some Pudsey ears, a Pudsey activity book and a Greggs Pudsey biscuit. There were some amazing entries and of course thank you for wearing your yellow clothes today.
Happy Children in Need Day!
Thank you!
Throughout the week, each class have been decorating a poppy with a medium of their choice. These have been displayed proudly outside on the grassed area for all to see, creating our own Flanders Field! On Remembrance day itself, we all took part in a 2 minutes silence to remember the sacrifices people made for us during the war.

Today, there was much excitement when the MAF plane visited us!
We enjoyed learning about MAF in our whole class assembly and learning activities. We created our own paper planes and used them in a target challenge. We also played a game of 'Guess the Cargo.' Then, most excitingly, we all had the opportunity to sit inside the MAF plane, to see what it would be like to fly!
This is a day and experience we will always remember!
Donations are still welcome to help contribute to the brilliant work of the MAF.
And the winners are...
