• Supply Desk Recruitment Volunteer in School!

  Thu 19 Mar 2026

  We had a visit from two of our colleagues from Supply Desk Recruitment Agency yesterday. They offered some of their time through their company's Volunteering in the Community scheme to clear our garden pond. The area is now ready for Spring and for the children to enjoy a quiet place to sit. Asim and Daniel said they were so glad to give something back to the local school communities they serve.

   

  We would love to hear from any of our parents or relatives who may have the opportunity through any similar Corporate or Employee Volunteering schemes. Even an hour can make a huge difference! Please contact the school office for more information.

  Last week we celebrated World Book Week. We started off with Teresa Heapy, an author, visiting on Monday and she shared her writing process with all of us. Throughout the week we did lots of activities involving books and characters and even completed a quiz trying to guess the staff members favourite book. Each class got the chance to share stories with another class -some of us outside when it was sunny on Thursday!  We also all enjoyed dressing up on Thursday for World Book Day and sharing our costumes in worship. 

  

• Year 3 Greek Day

  Fri 27 Feb 2026

  Year 3 had a wonderful day experiencing the an ancient Greek life on Tuesday.  A big thank you to those parents who helped out on the day, we couldn't have done it without you!

  We dressed up as ancient Greeks for the day.  First Ariadne, told us what crafts we would be doing they were, mosaic making, candle making, wax tablets, making medicines and making a game (it was like chess).  We went around most of the crafts providing there were no more than six people at a table.  We had lunch after lunch, Ariadne told us about a letter.  the letter said that we the Greeks, had won a war and we were going to have a feast. We were spit into three groups, one of the groups, the servants, handed out some drinks and a bit of food - pitta bread, tomatoes, feta and olives.  The second group told the story of Pandora's Box and the third group acted the play of the Hare and the Tortoise.  At the end of the day we were able to take home our crafts.  The next we wrote a thank you letter to the mistress.  Our favourite parts of the day was making the mosaic and eating the food whilst watching entertainment.
