• Welcome to our new pupils

  Mon 06 Feb 2023 Mr Dinsmore

• Elfridges

  Mon 21 Nov 2022 Mr Quinn

  Elfridges 

  Thank you for all your generous donations. 

  We had gifts priced from 20p. Therefore, in order to allow every child to purchase at least one gift, we ask that children do not bring any more than £5.

  How does it work?

  1. Children went up to the hall to go Christmas shopping for their gifts.
  2. Children picked their gifts and wrap them, with the help of staff and  P.7 pupils.
  3. Children brought gifts home, to be placed under the tree, ready for a big surprise on Christmas 

  Thank you for your support.

  🍁Autumn Adventures🍂

  Year 1-4 went on an Autumn Adventure through Somerset Forest today! They had a wonderful time exploring the sights and sounds of the forest. The children enjoyed scavenging for all types of leaves, acorns and even spotted some animals! 
   
  The children will use today’s walk to support their learning, by completing writing tasks and creating wonderful pieces of Autumnal Art! 

  Thank you to our PTA for funding today’s trip!
