• Sports Day 2017

  Mon 26 Jun 2017 Mr Phoenix

  Sports Day 2017 was a roaring success - not only with wonderful weather, but also in the way the children took part with such positive spirit, teamwork and sportsmanship. It was lovely to welcome a large crowd of parents to support everyone. Well done to Luca and Lalousha for running the Hampsthwaite Mile in the fastest times, and to our Yellow Team who amassed the most points in sports day overall to win the Sports Day cup. A great day, and lots of fun!

• Book Fair 2017

  Fri 16 Jun 2017 Mr Phoenix

  Thank you to everyone who came along to support the Book Fair this week. It was great to see the children enjoying browsing through the books, while the parents worked out the best way to make the most of the 3 for 2 offer!

  In all, over £250 of books was sold, giving the school over £60 in commission. We have spent the commission on several new books for every class.

  Well done everyone.

  

• Animal Mask Workshops

  Tue 13 Jun 2017 Mr Phoenix

  Children in Year 1, Year 2 and Year 5 had a creative day making animal masks with artists visiting from Rural Arts. The artists showed the children how to construct and shape animal masks. Year 1 and 2 used vivid colours to develop undersea creature masks, while Year 5 focussed on various 3D techniques with natural colour tones to create their wild animal masks.

  The children all enjoyed their art workshops, and the Year 5 masks have a starring role in the Summer Production!
