This year our children will be starring in

‘Alice in Wonderland’

a musical production

 on Friday 15^th July start time TBC.

We are taking a break from tradition this year and are making the most of the local amenities by staging our performance in the Village Hall.

This is for a range of reasons, but predominantly because:

• There is a proper stage and dressing rooms! How exciting to feel like a real stage actor, with curtains, lighting and all the feel of a theatre!

• It has a great space for seating the audience comfortably – so we don’t get overheated and can watch the efforts of the children in comfort.

• We can raise the expectations of the children – we show how much we value their work and effort by showcasing it in a wonderful setting.

   

  The FSA will be on hand to provide refreshments before, during and after and the orchestra and instrumentalists will be there to entertain while we await the main event – we hope that this will be an amazing social event as well as an experience the children will never forget. See you there!

   

Museum Grand Opening!!!

In January Mrs King asked me if we could build a Museum in school.

I gathered together an elite team of fellow historains made up of children from year 3- 6.  We have been meeting once a week in our lunchtimes to create our musuem and today it was officially opened by Mrs King. 

The children have worked extremley hard on creating this fantastic space and will now be on duty in the museum every lunchtime to give guided tours to their peers.

A massive thank you goes out to Mrs Ede who has made our mueum signs which look fabulous.

I’m so proud of my History club they have worked extremely hard and our museum looks amazing! They were all rewared in assembly for their hard work with a History badge!

There is a fantastic new campaign from Churchill to get sponsored lollipop crossing helpers into areas where crossing the road is dangerous for children and families.

If you go to this link, nominate our school and encourage others to do so, it could be us!

The STA (Standards and Testing Agency) have produced a short leaflet for parents to give some information about the new-look SATs testing that will be happening this May.

You will find the leaflet under the menu heading 'How to help your child at home'. We hope it might be useful to parents of Y2 and Y6 children.
