We've reached the end of another busy and enjoyable term. The sunshine this week has been kind, adding an extra touch of warmth to our Easter celebrations.
Last night, the Easter egg hunt was a roaring success, and congratulations to Daley for winning 'Name the Bunny' and Joy Sheriff for clinching the raffle prize of the giant chocolate bunny.
The Easter services were a delight, with beautiful singing in the church and an array of impressive Easter bonnets on display. It's moments like these that make our school community so special.
On Wednesday Reception and KS1 were lucky enough to spend some time feeding and petting three lovely lambs over at preschool. A big thank you to Matilda's parents for bringing these from their farm. The children really enjoyed themselves and it fitted wonderfully with the children's learning on seasons and life cycles.
Our sporting endeavours continue to impress, with the house cross-country event today demonstrating the determination and spirit of our young runners. Well done to all who participated. Here are the fastest long distance winners for each year group:
Yr R 1. Calvin 2. Lenard 3. Ethan 1. Georgia 2. Mia 3. Ella

Today we celebrated Pupils of The Term (see below) and excellent attendance. These children have had 100% attendance since September 2024. When asked for any tips, Piper said that by washing her hands she has stopped getting any germs and Jenson said that even on days when he felt like he didn't want to do something in school, once he tried it, he realised that he often liked it!
Twelve other pupils received chocolate Easter lollies as they have only missed one day of school since September. Eighteen pupils also received a chocolate lolly as they have had 100% attendance for the whole of the Spring Term. Excellent.
Effective communication between home and school is important. Please click on this link to learn how together we can archive this together. https://youtu.be/9ZUZpJzSkc4?si=xB2szkhDjaVvmCy4
As we bid farewell to this term, I wish you all a restful and enjoyable break. Thank you for your continued support and engagement in our school community.
