The story of Guy Fawkes

 

On the first day of the new half term, pupils in classes 1, 2 and 3 enjoyed a visit from the ‘Tempus Fugit’ theatre group. The pupils were encouraged to participate in retelling the story of Guy Fawkes and enjoyed the pantomime atmosphere of the show. Pupils were given the opportunity to dress up in period costumes; and ask questions about what really happened in the Houses of Parliament over 400 years ago. At the end of the show, the children were encouraged to consider the reasons for Guy Fawkes actions and whether he or King James were right to act as they did.

 

 

Bad news

As I am sure you are all now aware we were the victims of a mindless arson attack during the half term holiday. On the evening of Tuesday 23^rd October the early years and play group outdoor sheds were set on fire destroying many of the children’s outdoor toys. The school bins were also set on fire.

The police and fire brigade were called and they managed to put out all the fires. Although we have lost a lot of our outdoor equipment we have to be thankful that the fire didn’t spread and cause serious damage to the school as well. 

Although the children have obviously been affected by this senseless act they have shown remarkable strength of character and now look forward to how our playground can be developed in the future.

We would like to thank you for all your kind words and the support you have shown us over the last few days. We would like to promise you that we will do our best to recover all our losses and we are currently looking at ways to improve our playground. We will keep you informed of any ways in which you can help us and if you have any ideas please contact Miss Sargent or any member of FAINS.

The blog is back

As you may or may not have noticed the website has been a little bare recently. After some training from Mrs Curtis (previously Mrs Marshall) during the half term holiday I feel ready to continue her good work. I will try to update the school news section as regularly as I can with news on any events going on in school and with any information regarding letters we send home. The class newsletters will also be updated in the near future.

Thank you for your patience
