Snowy days are very rare in Plaistow so when there was snow at school on Wednesday, the enjoyed wrapping up warm, getting outside and having fun!
It’s a well known fact that x-country club love a bit of mud and this week was beautiful and muddy!
It has been a lovely final week of term at Plaistow and Kirdford . We finished the term with our PAKSA Awards Assembly, together with songs from KS 2, KS 1 and a short entertainment from the staff team! We then had a very special visit from Father Christmas who gave all the children a gift. Merry Christmas from us all at Plaistow and Kirdford Primary School and our very best wishes for 2023.
The winning entry into the competition really impressed the judges. It was an excellent creation made with recycled material and depicted a night time scene of Father Christmas in his sleigh pulled by his reindeer, flying through the night sky. The sky was even lit up with little fairy lights.
The rain may have tried to dampen everyone’s spirits over the last few weeks but cross country club have enjoyed it! The rain has meant more mud and bigger puddles!
This term we have welcomed Kim Venter to our school to take our After School Art Club . The children have worked really hard and produced some really amazing work. We are so proud of the talent we have in our school.
Hello Plaistow and Kirdford School, we have finally hatched! We are very excited to meet everyone and we know that the children are very excited to meet us! There are six of use and we are already keen to get out and explore the world. We are living in a smaller run, at the front of the chicken pen. Please pop by to say hello.
The chickens have been enjoying the warmer weather over Easter. This week we have discovered that one of the chickens, known as Zebra, has started sitting on the eggs. We are hoping that she will continue to sit on the 12 eggs and they will hatch. If the eggs do hatch, we will have some chicks before half term.
