Coast Guard Visit

World Book Day

March 2022

Lower School children loved taking part in World Book Day 2022. They each came to school dressed in their favourite book character and enjoyed taking part in a wide range of book related activities throughout the day. These included cosy reading by torchlight, designing bookmarks, making role play masks, designing teddy bear biscuits and a taking part in Bible quiz. The highlight for many was watching their teachers take part in a pantomime about Goldilocks and her 3 friends ... watch out for Burglar Bill!

Disability Awareness Month

November 2021

Mrs Wakeling came to do our assembly this week entitled 'Differently Abled' and taught us that we are all created by God with different gifts. She told the story of 'Helen Keller' who was deaf and blind but learnt to read and write and later became an author. Mrs Wakeling taught the children how to say 'hello' using sign language and then the children had chance to try on glasses which enabled them to experience what it is like to be visually impaired. The children also took part in a braille challenge and managed to crack the code!
