We received this certificate from the Colchester Foodbank saying ‘thank you’ for our food donations. Your kind contributions for our Harvest Assembly helped to provide 134 meals for people less fortunate than ourselves.

As part of their topic based on ‘Food’, Woodpeckers Class visited Pizza Express in Colchester to learn all about what happens in a restaurant and they even got the chance to make and eat their own pizzas!

The children from Woodpeckers, Owls and Swans, recently had a morning dedicated to Tag Rugby. They took part in lots of different activities and games all linked to Rugby.  A fun time was had by all.  

The ducklings have been an immense success with all the children and are now enjoying their moments of freedom on our pond! Catching them at the end of the day has proved very entertaining for anyone watching! Thank you to Mrs Martin for allowing to have them in school these last few weeks.
