House Morning

House captain badgesToday we held our first House Morning of this session.

Our House and Vice Captain team planned the learning for today, which was to create Christmas decorations for our Gym Hall, in the form of bunting or a frieze. Each stage were given a wintry theme to work from by the team too, so we had themes ranging from Santa to snowmen, elves to gingerbread men and more!

There was a lovely calm atmosphere in all the rooms this morning, as each house group were carefully creating their decorations, concentrating hard.

Well done to all our pupils for their lovely festive creations, and thank you to the staff for planning their activities.

Lastly, huge thanks to the House and Vice Captain team for your planning and organisational skills; a very successful morning!

This Friday P2 are helping to plant a variety of fruit trees, so the weeding and tidying of the planters was very necessary!

Thanks again!

Remembering Mrs Ramm

We’d like to commemorate our PE teacher, Mrs Ramm, through a ‘Memories Book’. With this in mind, the children will be invited to share their fondest memories of her using a template design to record their thoughts. Copies of these templates are available at the School Office, for any parents/carers or former pupils who would like to share their memories too.

 

Thank you.
