Ellie from Willen Hospice came to visit us yesterday to give us a BIG thank you for all the money we raised.
They have been running trials at the hospice, enabling patients to go to the beach, on walks through woods via a VR headset and these experiences have lead to them asking for less medicine.
The money we raised will be going towards buying more VR headsets for the patients.
Wates, a company who builds schools, hospitals and lots more exciting buildings, set KS2 a challenge, to design a SEND school that would be suitable for children with additional needs. The directors of the company judged the designs and then have awarded two Year 3s and two Year 4s a frame with their design brought to life. There was even a video made for each one too where we could walk through our creations. What an amazing opportunity!
We had a very exciting birthday to celebrate, our school is 440 years old! We looked at how life has changed over the last 400 years and presented our work to parents in an assembly at the end of the day!

This week we had a visit from RAF Paralympic ski guide, Sergeant Gary Smith, who competed with his impared vision partner Menna Fitzpatrick and
won two medals at the 2022 Winter Paralympics. They won a silver medal in the Super G Vision Impaired event before taking home a bronze from the Super Combined Visually. It was great to welcome Gary to our school and see the medals in real life, we even got to try on the kit! Thanks Gary, good luck in 2024!
We were very excited to receive a visit from 'Perform' this afternoon. The children had a wonderful time exploring the theme of 'The Jungle' and using drama, dance and singing to help develop their confidence, concentration and social skills. They were naturals!
The sun was shining as the children got ready to explore their beautiful local area. We all noticed lots of physical features as we walked, crossing a stream and wandering through dense wooded areas. We roasted apples, got to explore the forest school and plant our very own tree. We learnt about deforestation and the importance of planting new trees.
In Squirrels Class we're learning all about plants. We've planted some of our own and can't wait to watch them grow.
To celebrate Shrove Tuesday this year, the school held a pancake race. It was great fun!

Watch our special video!

Today we had a visit from Bramble and Riley, two puppies in training! Their handlers told us all about the different things guide dogs have to do before they are ready to go to their forever home to help somebody who is visually impaired.
We had a lovely time at the Gymnastics morning today, the children enjoyed every second, gave it their all and behaved beautifully. The children encouraged each other if they were finding things tricky.
The morning was organised as a carousel, each school moving around to a new piece of equipment every so often. Some of the activities were the 'fast track', the vault, the poles, and floor activities.
A Flying Visit!
