Kingfishers
The children in Kingfishers and Woodpeckers class took part in their nativity performance of ‘Baarmy Bethlehem!’ to their family members in Stratford St Mary Church. They sang their songs beautifully, said their words clearly and were very well behaved whilst the other children performed. A brilliant performance. We are all very proud of the children!
The Kingfishers performed their class assembly to their parents and the rest of the school. The children were confident to stand up and perform to the audience. The children told the weather forecast, they retold the story of ‘After the Storm’ by Nick Butterworth and sang a song called ‘Five Little Leaves’. A great assembly […]
The children were very excited as a parcel was delivered. The children passed the parcel around and were able to give their suggestions of what was in the parcel.

On Friday 18th October, we held our Harvest Assembly in the school hall. The children sang songs and read some beautiful poems. We also collected some non-perishable goods which will donated to the Colchester Food Bank. Thank you for your generosity.

They were told that they were going to make some yummy apple slices on the fire and were reminded not to walk inside […]

Miss Jones showed the children an image of a Clarice Cliff’s Circle Tree plate design. Miss Jones asked the children to […]
