• World Book Day 2024

  Sun 10 Mar 2024

  Newport celebrated World Book Day on Friday 8th March and chose to dress in their pyjamas for the day to enjoy some relaxing reading. The staff surprised the children and all came dressed as different coloured crayons, to represent the book 'The day the crayons quit' and the children had great fun figuring out what colours we were all going to be!

  The day was filled with many 'book themed' learning opportunities and the classes were buzzing with excitement. Many children came into school with their 'crafted' creations representing books and the day showed their crafting skills even more.

  Some classes made story cubes, some made story puppets, others completed quizzes and others were re designing book covers. It was lovely to have many parents and grandparents visit us at 2:45 for storytimes in classes; the children enjoyed sharing stories with them.

  

• Community Cafe March 24

  Mon 04 Mar 2024

  Robin Class took part in this month's community cafe and the class took a trip down to Debden Grange, the local retirement village, to spend time with the residents for the afternoon. 

  The whole class had a super time and started the afternoon singing some of their favourite 'Young Voices' songs to the residents; a roaring rendition of 'Lambeth Walk, Walk this way, Coldplay's sky full of stars and It's a lovely day' filled the lounge as Robin class sang their hearts out! The children then enjoyed reading and sharing their handwritten stories with the residents, alongside a piece of Mrs Baker's banana bread for a treat! It was a wonderful way to spend the afternoon for all involved. The children loved talking to the residents, sharing stories and finding out what they did before they retired; the residents loved spending time with the children, who they described as 'full of life!'

  Robin class couldn't stop talking about it and can't wait for a return visit soon!

   

  

• Hedgehog Class bake sale

  Fri 01 Mar 2024

  Hedgehog class enjoyed holding a bake sale on Friday to raise money for their upcoming trip to Colchester zoo; thank you to all of the donations given...every single cake and biscuit looked so tempting and sold out quite quickly! Each cake was sold at 50p and the whole community turned out in their droves at pick up time and many children left with chocolately faces and full tummies. Together, they raised £115...well done Hedgehogs!
