Remembrance Service 2017

We held a very moving service for Remembrance this morning and every child and every person in school observed the two minutes silence.  We watched the beautiful Cbbeebies Poppies film and also heard the last post from the Menin Gate.

Class 3 wrote Remembrance Prayers and Poems with Mr Caton and we chose 4 children to share theirs with us - I could have chosen the whole class they were all beautiful!

Dean reading his poem

Lucy reading her prayer and all of us bowing our heads.

What was so memorable was the children's words about war and suffering but more importantly they wrote about the future and that wars like the 2 major wars must never happen again and that it was their job to ensure this when they were older.

Brought tears to my eyes.

Harvest Festival 2017

The children did it again this year - brought me to tears with their singing and performances!  Mrs Kearsley and Mrs Chadwick were also in tears and all because we are so proud of the children and their efforts!

Class 1 performed a Harvest Poem and sang Cauliflowers Fluffy!

Class 2 singing with an audience who swayed to the music!

Class 2 singing Colour Orange - a catchy song with a powerful message.  Our little audience is getting closer!

Our Orange being attacked by the Mango in a Mackintosh!  Our little audience is even nearer!

Class 3 performing their 5 minute long song - We Are The World - about the world and how they are the future guardians of this.  Very moving!
