Village Day 

We are still celebrating winning first prize in the parade where all the children dressed in red and white and carried a massive St George flag to support our world cup theme. Our tombola stall was very popular and was busy for most of the day. 

KS1 Easter Bonnet Parade 

Thanks to the PTA pink, yellow and blue could be seen all around the Key Stage 1 playground as the term ended for the Easter break. KS1 children enjoyed decorating Easter bonnets with chicks, eggs, feathers, bunnies, flowers and lots more before parading in front of Mr White and the other KS1 children. 

World Book Day 

The PTA helped to celebrate World Book Day with a week of events including; all the children dressing up as their favorite book character, author visits, writing workshops and a book swap. Laura Dockrill, an accomplished poet, author and illustrator gave 2 assemblies and poetry workshops.  Throughout the day brilliant writers and storytellers from the local comunity came into school and worked with the children. Great fun was had by all.  

Chinese New Year Week 

The PTA provided £300 to purchase art materials to allow the children to get creative. During the week the children experienced a range of activities including making tangrams, practicing chinese calligraphy, painting and making dragons. The PTA also gave each child a red packet called ‘haong bao’ which symobilises luck and wealth, they normally contain money but we filled them with a ‘gold’ chocolate coin.
