On Thursday, Mrs Marshall and Mrs Bilner (and several parents) accompanied 17 children to the O2 in London. Since September, these children had been learning several songs; the finale of which was joining 7,500 other school children in a massive choir concert.

On Wednesday evening a group of Swans started a Vex club. Over the next few weeks, they will build a Vex ‘model’ which can then be programmed to perform different tasks. We hope in the future to compete with other schools in a Vex robot competition. We will keep you updated on the progress.
On Friday, we had a PE Enrichment day. Mr Ross came in and taught the children different skills, games, tactics and rules of American Football. Due to the snowy weather, this had to take place in the school hall, however, lots of learning happened and a lot of fun was had by all!
Thursday afternoon saw the school visit the New Wolsey theatre to watch Sinbad the Sailor Rock n Roll Panto. The children and accompanying adults, listened to the songs and talented musicians and laughed at the jokes. Everyone was very well behaved and we all had a great time.
Over the past couple of weeks, all the children have been set homework to create a Christmas decoration/ picture/ card to give to the patients at West Suffolk Hospital to cheer them up during their stay over the Christmas period. Miss Kluge’s Mum is a Ward Sister at the hospital and will deliver them to the patients. […]

On Thursday 24th November a team from Swans class took part in a Tag Rugby Festival at Ipswich Rugby club. They did very well on what was a very cold afternoon; winning 3 games out of 5.
Some of our Swans class were involved in a recent football tournament. They played 5 matches against other schools; they won one, drew two and lost two. It was quite a cold and wet afternoon, but all the boys had fun and played really well.
This week is Anti-Bullying week and the children have been learning about what ‘bullying’ is and what can be done about it . We also talked about ‘friendship’ and how important this is in our school and about being a friend to others. The Anti-bullying ambassadors welcomed the parents on Tuesday afternoon for the Parents […]
Friday 11th November saw Swans take the first assembly of the half term; they shared some of their amazing ‘flashback’ stories, some of their Mayan history facts and numbers and also explained their multiplication maths work. Well done Swans, you spoke clearly and confidently.
