Gardening Club had their first session today and had lots of fun harvesting lots of produce. They are particularly proud of their lovely pumpkins.
You just never know what will happen one day to the next ...
Yesterday morning we arrived at school to find a flatbed truck broken down in our lay-by. Our staff team quickly found a solution to the problem, setting up a one way system for traffic to ensure that all our children arrived at school safely. Thank you to all our families and buses for their understanding and co-operation. The lorry driver was very apologetic and his companion, Billy the Jack Russell Pug cross was very friendly!
Sadly, the lovely turf on the truck was destined for somewhere in Hampshire and not for us, even though we did suggest he might like to leave it here!
Year 4 Farm Camp
Our Owl Class had an amazing time at their Farm Camp last week. Thank you to Mrs Jesse, Miss Clark, Miss Dore and Mr King and to all our families for ensuring the children were so well equipped for their camp.

Year Three and their violins
We love music at our school and this year we have seen a real boost in the numbers of children taking up a musical instrument. Every year, children get the chance in Year Three to learn the violin. Additionally we have children learning: the guitar, cello, violin, piano, keyboard and saxophone.
Watch this video to see and hear a terrific rendition of Danny Boy!
