• Poetry Competition Coming Up

  Fri 29 Sep 2023

  Thursday 6^th October is National Poetry Day. In school, we will be doing a range of activities to develop their children’s appreciation of this form of writing; a form that can explore so many avenues of life and experience, free from some of the shackles of syntax and grammar. We’ll also be running a little competition for you at home, children and adults, so look out for an announcement on our Facebook page this weekend.

• Grayfest!

  Fri 22 Sep 2023

  I know there is a bit about this in the PTA section of our newsletter but I wanted my tuppence worth as well. It was a lovely day last Saturday, and it was so nice to see this event so well attended. It was a great atmosphere on the day and there was loads going on. These events are only possible due to the hard work of volunteers like our PTA and the many people who gave up their time to help on the day. As a school community, we should all be thankful for the time that people devote to organising things like this. A lot of money was raised which will go towards vital improvements in the school, not least more reading scheme books for the Juniors. So, from all of us, thank you!!!!

• Forest School

  Fri 15 Sep 2023

  We are delighted to be introducing Forest School for all children to take part in at different times throughout the year. Through self-initiated play, inquiry and discovery, children will learn about the natural environment and how to care for it, how to handle risks and how to use their initiative to solve problems. These skills enable the children to grow in confidence, resilience, and independence. They will enjoy a wide variety of games and activities such as den building, crafts, bug hunts, tool use, fire lighting, cooking, and flora and fauna identification. Green Class will be the first group to start. Big thanks to Mrs Ashton-Smith and Mrs Wilson for pioneering this.
