Today 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!

Here are some photos of our creations taking shape!

Many thanks to the group of parents and carers who gave up part of last Sunday to come and help tidy up our playground planters!

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!
