It has been a lovely end to what has felt like a very long term!  The children have really enjoyed getting out onto the green at lunchtimes and enjoying the sunshine.

On Tuesday 3 more children went to the café and shop to learn about how it is run, Luther, Archie and Betsy worked hard and enjoyed serving people in the café.

On Wednesday Mrs Harbord and I took ten children to Westonbirt Arboretum for an Orienteering event.  It was great fun; we learnt about map reading alongside discovering some of the beautiful trees that are growing in the arboretum.  The children behaved fantastically well and embraced all the walking.  Tabitha was our nature expert and taught us lots about the trees we were seeing, while Jakub, Archie and Jake were our expert route planners. 

Thank you to those parents and other family members that came along to our Easter Service on Wednesday.  It was great to see so many of you there.  The children performed their contributions with confidence and clarity.  Thank you to Reverend Natalie for leading the service.

Today, we said goodbye to Miss Arkell and Miss Young.  They have been in school for the past 8 weeks to support their teacher training.  We have thoroughly enjoyed having them work with us and would like to wish them well as they continue with their training at university.  Miss Young has agreed to come back and support next term’s dance club and I am sure we will see Miss Arkell again too.

We also said goodbye and good luck to Mrs Greenwoods as she starts her maternity leave.  I am sure you will join me in wishing her lots of luck, we can’t wait to meet the baby when he/she arrives. 

Miss Savery will be taking over from Mrs Greenwoods in her absence.  She has been in school for the last couple of weeks working alongside Mrs Greenwoods and Mrs Cross to ensure a smooth handover. She is excited to bring something new to our Outdoor Learning sessions as well as continuing Mrs Greenwoods work.

If you would like to view the summary from the parent questionnaire, this can be found on the school website.

Hereford Class would like donations of pre-loved good quality Board Games.  Should you wish to donate please bring into the school office.

A reminder that we have the Cow Hunt the first weekend back after Easter.  Please sign up to support it, it is a fantastic event that is only possible because of the hard work put in by the small, committed army of volunteers.
