Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Though it has been rather cold this week, the signs of spring are finally starting to appear. The apple blossom is just opening and all of the trees around school are now in leaf. Our school always looks amazing when everything is green, the surrounding countryside seems more apparent. The children have started to notice and enjoy this too – at playtimes there are always daisy-chain-constructions, exploration of blossom and buds and just lots of groups sitting together on the grass!
I hope you all enjoy the long bank holiday weekend!
I hope everyone had an enjoyable Easter and enjoyed the additional opportunities for outside social contact. The children have returned with lots of news to share and so many are sporting new haircuts – I’m sure the reopening of hairdressers has been a relief for many of you (I have coped quite well!)
What a wonderful week of weather to welcome us back, blue skies and some warmth in the sunshine. Of course the children now all think that summer is here. It does give us all a sense of optimism and positivity for the summer term. I hope that as the term progresses the DfE will review it’s guidance to schools so we can start to plan if events might make a return – such as sports day. It’s too early to know yet but rest assured that if the regulations allow, we will try to provide these sorts of events, even if we have to heavily modify.
We have enjoyed some lovely Easter activities this week. On Tuesday we had our modified Easter Egg Hunt – a bunny hunt! Children had to find pictures of Easter bunnies hidden around the field and once they found them exchanged them for some chocolate eggs! My thanks to the FUS committee for providing this (and all the other activities) – though only a few were involved on the day, they have been busy planning, sorting and arranging behind the scenes so that we could do this school tradition, whilst still working within COVID parameters.
I hope all of you have an enjoyable Easter and manage to have a break with family. The children are definitely tired and in need of a change of pace. It has been a long, strange term but we finish it having kept the children learning and interacting. I look forward to a more settled summer term!
