Eggstreme Sports Day 2012

On Monday 26th March 2012, we held an Eggstreme Sports Day at school.  The children had to transform an ordinary hard boiled egg into a sporting character to take part in one of the four eggstreme sports: catapulting, parachuting, bungee jumping or zip wiring.  Not only did they have to decorate their egg, but they had to design a way of keeping their eggs in one piece during their chosen sporting event.  For some this was building a parachute, for others, a protective pod for their egg as it was catapulted across the school field.

Mrs Taylor began judging the eggs and casing based on design before we took our competitors outside to the 'eggrena' for the main event!

The eggs were flung, hurdled, pushed and bounced through the events, some lived to tell the tale, others with minor cracks, some unlucky eggs with major injuries. 

Mrs Taylor, once again, judged the eggs based on performance during each event and eventually eight winners were chosen and awarded prizes at the end of the day.

The children agreed it was a 'totally cool' day and they thoroughly enjoyed decorating their eggs and watching them fly through the air.  Some were disappointed if their egg cracked, but other hardened egg trainers suggested that next year, we compete on the playground and use the harder surface!  A big thank you to all the Mums, Dads and other adults who came out to support the event and a big thanks to all the members of staff  without whom days like this would not be possible.

KS2 Trip to London

On Wednesday 21st March, a very excited bus full of KS2 children and adult helpers made their way to The Natural History Museum in London.  We set off nice and early with bags full of sandwiches ready for a fun filled day.  The bus journey was very hot and quite long, but the children kept themselves amused by drawing, singing and playing games.  As we entered London, our lovely coach driver took us on a tour of the sights: Big Ben, The London Eye, House of Parliament.

We arrived just in time for lunch.  We then split into groups and made a dash to all the wonderful exhibits.  We were terrified by the moving T-rex, shaken by the earthquake simulator and astounded by the life size model of the blue whale.
Mrs Taylor was stopped on a number of occasions by members of the public, commenting on how well behaved the children were.  All in all, a fabulous day out and a group of very proud adults who felt incredibly lucky to spend time with such a polite and fun loving group of pupils.

Mothering Day Service

On  Monday 19th March 2012 the whole school walked down to Kelsale Church ready to celebrate and thank all our wonderful Mums.  All the children had prepared work: poems, prayers and songs, to read out in church.  We were astounded by the number of Mums and other family members that joined us on our walk and the 'crocodile' that wound it's way down the road looked very impressive.

The children sang beautifully and many a tear was shed by the very proud Mums. Rev. Andy led us in a final prayer and we happily made our way back to school in the beautiful spring sunshine.  A lovely  morning.

Can't Stop us NOW!!!

This is so exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;o) x
