We are lucky to have had some visits from 'Ignition Arts' who have been working with Class Asia and Class North America on developing resilience and mental health.  Please see the below quote from the children:

Darren from ignition arts was very funny and loud. We learnt about mental health and how we should express our feelings.  He talked to us about different ways of sharing our thoughts if something is wrong. He taught us some very grown up ideas but taught them in a language that we could understand. We learnt a lot about what is important for our mental health in a really fun way.  Elsie & Lissie

During our Thursday music lessons, Class Europe are going to be learning the  P-trumpet. We have linked with Essex Music Services who have arranged a specialist trumpet tutor to join us for a few weeks. It was a good start with the pupils having to try and produce their first sound! Let’s see what the end result is in a few weeks!

On Thursday 21st March we took part in the 'Lots of Socks Campaign' for World Down Syndrome Day.

World Down Syndrome Day is a global awareness day which has been officially observed by the United Nations since 2012. We asked everyone to come into school in their brightest and boldest socks to celebrate everything that makes all of us different and yet the same.

We really enjoyed our coaching session with John Rednall from the English Indoor Bowling Association at the Falcons bowls club.  Thank you to everyone involved.

Thank you to Cllr. Mike Steel who cut the ribbon and opened our new mushroom scooter pods today with the pupils from our school council. Thanks to Cllr Steel the school secured a grant to pay for the new scooter pods just in time for the ‘Big Walk and Wheel Event’ week which takes place between the 11^th and the 22^nd March 2024.

The school council choose the colour’s of the mushrooms on behalf of all the pupils at school. We hope to see the mushroom pods used every day as part of our travel initiative, which is to encourage more walking and wheeling to school.

Remember, even if you drive to school, you can still help the initiative by parking further away and walking the rest of the way to school.
