It’s the end of another term as well as academic year, and once again so much has been accomplished since our last newsletter.

The Year 6 children thoroughly enjoyed their week long residential to Swanage. They had immense fun rock pooling, crabbing, walking and kayaking. For those few children who were unable to participate in this venture we ensured that they had a whole range of exciting activities, the highlight of which was in the afternoons when they helped our younger children with their learning.

Year Five meanwhile have been back in time to Ancient Greece with help from the company ‘History Off The Page’ who came in to work with us. The children took part in workshops, creating lots of Greek artefacts, including charm bracelets and clay pots. In the afternoon, the children took part in performing poetry and plays as part of our entertainment, which we enjoyed with a Greek feast. It was a very enjoyable day for all and everyone looked amazing in all of their costumes.

Talking of costumes, our World Book Day costumes, that were last worn on a very snowy day in March, saw us win not only first place in our group, but also overall winner in this year’s village carnival! Our group were headed up as always by our wonderful June Rose Day Queen and attendant chauffeured in a wonderful vintage car courtesy of Mrs Wilson’s family.

EYFS had a very exciting day when they went on their trip to Woburn Safari park to learn more about some of the animals from this term's topic 'Rumble in the Jungle'. They were very lucky and all of the animals came out to say hello, even on such a hot day! Along with the grown-ups the children had to try and spot bears, lions, tigers, giraffes and lots more. There were also some cheeky monkeys that climbed on our coaches and didn't want to get off!
