The children and staff enjoyed lunch provided by the PFA and the children sang the national anthem while waving their union jack flags. Finally, no party would be complete without a visit from the ice [...]

Lower Two had a Viking themed day with Portals to the Past. The children and staff all dressed up in Viking outfits (admittedly we generally were not historically accurate in this 😊).

They also learnt about their beliefs, the roles of men, women and children in their cultures. The class played a traditional Viking board game called Geese and fox, they looked at and discussed artifacts and there uses. The children also learnt about the [...]
On Tuesday 24th January we took a boy’s football team from Upper One, Lower Two and Upper Two to the county finals in Chelmsford. They played really well in the pool stage winning two games and drawing one. This put them through to the semi final which proved very tense and went to penalties. Unfortunately, we just lost but the boy’s were a real credit to the school.
The Upper Two Netball team went to Alleyn Court to participate in the ISA Under 11 Netball tournament. The girls won all of their matches in their pool and went through to the semi finals.
