Well done to class Africa on a fantastic assembly this morning. We enjoyed listening to you sing, watching you act and seeing your amazing art work.
Well done everyone!
On Thursday we were lucky to have a visit from rapper, DJ and music producer DJ Shy Cookie - Alex. He worked with all the children in KS2 who took part in his rap workshops. They worked in groups to produce their own raps to share with their classes. It was great to hear from a musician in the field and the children really got a lot out of hearing how he began his career.
Key stage two had a fantastic day learning all about the Egyptians. They made artefacts, pretended to be an Ancient Egyptian royal family and performed a play!
Victory at Great Waltham! Well played boys...4-0
A huge well done to class Australia for their wonderful class assembly last week.
They showcased some of their work from this term and sang beautifully.
On the 15th & 16th of May the children worked with artists from Art Solutions and made some absolutely fabulous art displays.
We had a number of parent volunteers come and support on the days and many of you donated the requested supplies of newspapers, tubs and black sacks, so a group effort by everyone! The children worked hard with their buddy groups and have delivered the most amazing scenes from across the continents (which also happens to be their class names!)
We held an open evening for parents/carers to view the work and we hope you love the finished displays as much as we all do!
Well done to the KS1 cricket team who made it to the finals this week. They worked together fantastically together fielding and we saw some excellent batting skills. They came 5th out of 30 teams.
Thank you to all of you that came along for our Kings Coronation celebration picnic. It was so lovely to see lots of parents, grandparents & siblings come together.
The weather was on our side, and we managed to just avoid the rain showers.
Special mention to the kitchen team for the fabulous cake! And huge thank you to the parents that arrived early to help us put up the gazebos.
Last Friday our Reception children were joined by some parents for a road safety talk provided by Safer Essex Roads Partnership.
Our Year 5 children also listened to a short presentation followed by some practical roadside training.
We have attached a link to the early years road safety song below for those who are interested.
