  • Festival of Sport part 2

    Mon 17 Jul 2017 Mrs Hall

    This morning we completed part 2 of the Festival of Sport. Fortunately the sun shone and children threw themselves into the last five events: standing long jump, hockey, sack race, water relay and relay. 

    Following the conclusion of these rounds, the 'elite' events took place where children from each year group, chosen from their PE lessons, took part in javelin, long jump, sergeant jump, high jump, long distance run and short distance run. Events ran well into lunchtime so winners were presented with their trophies this afternoon and the winning house was Alt.

    Thank you to Mr Kirby, Mr Moran and Mr Wilson for organising the day and thank you to all of the staff for running events.

  • Mary Poppins / Cream Tea

    Thu 13 Jul 2017 Mrs Hall

    What a 'practically perfect' performance yet again! Every year Mrs Armstrong and the choir surpass themselves with their talents : singing, dancing and acting and this year was no exception! Mary Poppins was a wonderful celebration of the talented children we have in our choir. 

    Choreography was provided by Mrs Challoner and music, prose and costumes by Mrs Armstrong. Many months of practising go into each performance with choir being held two nights a week and extra lunchtime practices nearer to the performance. I'm sure those of you who attended could see the hard work and dedication that went into the performance.

    Thank you once again to the PTFA who provided the cream tea. They work tirelessly to run events for the benefit of all the children at our school.

    School was treated to a preview as we were able to watch the dress rehearsal. Thank you to Mrs Armstrong for a wonderful show, thank you to Mrs Challoner for the choreography and thank you to the school choir for your enthusiasm and talents!
