A very special visitor for Robin, Squirrel and Hedgehog Classes

This morning, a very special visitor took a little time out of his busy schedule to visit our younger children. Father Christmas came along and socially distance visited Robin Class, Squirrel Class and Hedgehog Class in the school playground. He brought small gifts for each of the children which the class teachers then handed out. Thank you Father Christmas for visiting us this morning.

Covid Secure Class Parties - Plaistow and Kirdford Style

The party season is upon us and at Plaistow and Kirdford Primary school, our traditional Christmas parties are still going ahead, just a little differently this year. Our classes are all having their own class party in the fabulous marquee. Another massive thank you to Meg Sheehan and Petworth Marquees. They have now added a magnificent starry night ceiling, dance floor and glitter ball to make our parties even more festive.

The Amazing Adventures of Superstan

The long-awaited audio version of the KS2 summer production, The Amazing Adventures of Superstan, is now available to listen to. The Year 6 children have worked really hard at trying to convey the characters with their voices so that the essence of the story is not lost in any way.

I have to say, back in April/May, I really despaired that we were never going to be able to give the children the opportunity to rehearse for their play.  They have made me enormously proud in terms of their hard work and commitment to this huge team effort.One person, however, who has made all this possible is undoubtedly our very own Miss Clark. She has worked tirelessly since we have been back in school. researching the best sorts of microphones to use outdoors (given that we were only permitted to make the recordings outside and so had to battle with wind, church bells and all the usual sounds emitting from a primary school!), calmly helping me with the music when I have just stared at various pieces of equipment with a 'What do I do next?' look on my face, as well as putting all the various audio clips together to make an enormously impressive recording, despite all the obstacles placed in our way. We know it is not perfect, but I truly believe it is a fantastic achievement in the current circumstances, and hopefully the children feel they have had the opportunity to take part in a production of sorts. A big well done to Year 6 from me and a huge thank you from us all to Miss C!

Poppy Pickle

A story that was shared with Robins before half term (hence the intro!) but time for the rest of the school to enjoy too. This story is all about a little girled called Poppy and her HUGE imagination. Poppy even imagines my favourite animal - see if you can spot it? I know ALL the children at Plaistow and Kirdford have great imagination just like Poppy in the story so enjoy…
