• The Handprint Tree

  Tue 27 Sep 2022

  Our handprint tree is now full again! At the start of each new school year we have the children make a handprint that gets put onto the tree. 

  At the end of each school year they get taken down and put with their photos and given to all our leavers as a reminder of their time here. 

  Have a look next time you're in school.

   

  

• Our visit to Warner Bros Studios!

  Tue 21 Jun 2022

  On June 10th, 59 of our children hopped on a bus and travelled down to Warner Bros Studios in London to visit the Harry Potter tour.

  We arrived for the 3pm tour, having stopped at South Mimms for lunch, and were all super excited!

  Splitting into small groups, everyone went round the tour, having photos on broomsticks half way and trying some butterbeer at the cafe too.

  Have a look at some of the photos we took on the day!

• Easter Eggs Donation for Stowmarket Food Bank

  Thu 28 Apr 2022

  Just before we broke up for the Easter holidays we were able to donate over 100 eggs to the Stowmarket Food Bank thanks to your generous donations. We know that times are hard for a lot of people at the moment, and as a small school we are so proud and grateful that we can help out others even in a small way like this.

• Eco Council - Winter into Spring!

  Sat 12 Feb 2022

  Our Eco committee, made up of Ella, Connie, Lennie and Emmie, have been meeting regularly with Miss Knights to discuss things they want to do, and changes we can make across the school to improve our eco status.

  We've been looking at lot at our grounds, and have planted some seed bombs right down the end of the field, in amongst all the new trees. Hopefully these will take and we'll have some nice wild flowers and long grass down that end.

  We've also made some bird feeders, filled with fat balls that are now hanging amongst the trees in the middle of the field. Whilst the pupils aren't using the field because it's too muddy, we thought this was a great time to utilise the bird feeders and encourage them to our space!
  Some pupils have borrowed some of our litters pickers for weekends, to help clean up their local area. We have lots of equipment anyone can borrow, just ask!
  Finally, we will be creating a wild garden space behind the new classroom. This space is used only by Birch class and is unfinished. We all thought some wild flowers to encourage bees and butterflies would work well there!

  Please let us know if you have any ideas you would like to share with the Eco Council!
