Christmas Party Day

19th December 2024Joshua Meade

What a busy, tiring but exciting day! Father Christmas visited us. We had a scrumptious Christmas dinner. We played musical bumps, statues, sleeping Santas, chairs, Christmas corners and pass the parcel. Well done to all our winners. Merry Christmas crew Meade and enjoy your little gifts! Thank you grown ups too for all your cooperation this term, have a lovely Christmas. 1 more get up! Mr Meade #LovePlover

This week the children have made some festive Christmas decorations for their own Christmas trees! They’ve used their painting skills, cutting skills, glueing skills and creative skills. #LovePlover

Celebration of Learning

17th December 2024Mrs Lewis

After a busy term of learning, the children in 2L enjoyed sharing their learning with parents and carers last week. The children were the experts, teaching their grown ups all about our expedition, Rags to Riches, What Lies Within the Castle Walls? The children and parents did a quiz and then built catapults before testing them out.

We’d like to thank all the parents and carers who joined us for our celebration of learning and we look forward to having you back to join us for our next celebration of learning.

Y6 candy cane olympics

17th December 2024Miss Blackham

Yesterday, Y6 had lots of fun at our candy cane olympics. They had to build towers out of marshmallows only using the candy canes- not their hands. They had to demonstrate team-building skills to be successful and they had so much fun!

The Grinch!

17th December 2024Mr Pickering

Year 2 had an unexpected visit from the Grinch this afternoon. It caused a lot of excitement and also made some children reflect on which list they might be on for Christmas! It seemed that we might all be on the good list!
