Last celebrations assembly this term!  We have all worked really hard and are looking forward to a week off

Ben (Y3), Nathan (Y4), Elise (Y4) and Rueben (Y4) all attended the Change for Life festival at Grantham Meres sports centre on Wednesday afternoon.  This worked in different teams with other schools and tried out all sorts of new activities which they all enjoyed.  They each received a certificate and a medal for taking part.  Hannah (Y4) also attended but was not in school for the photograph.

Our School Pets

 

Meet Bubble and Squeak, our guinea pigs, our first ever pets in school!

The whole school voted to decide on their names. Those who want to, (the majority of the school!) are going to take turns to look after them, clean them out or just give them a cuddle.

Squeak

 

 

Thank you to Mrs. Knott for organising all of this, as well as a rota of families who are able to look after them at weekends and in the holidays.

World Book Day

We timed this to fit in with our Book Fair.  Parents spent over £400 on new books and the school spent another £200.  This means we have another £360 to spend on new books for the school - fabulous!!!

We asked children (and staff) to dress up as a book character.

Easter Egg competition

Every year we hold an Easter competition and the theme this year was Easter Eggs.  The emphasis is always on the children's own work and they are judged by someone who doesn't know whose work it was.  This year Keith Campbell our student in Y5 judged the competition.

 

 

Our winners: Maddie Y3, Eva YFS, Brooke Y1, Lucy Y2, Sophie Y6,

Jasper Y4 and Joseph Y5.

 

They all received a real Easter Egg for winning!
