Pirton School

Thank you Mrs Fryer.

Thank you Mrs Fryer for sparing time for our keen historians!

Wrens and Robins classes have enjoyed a science workshop, learning about senses. Kestrels and Swift’s had their turn this week with a workshop about light and dark and how we see things. Thank you to all our adult helpers who supported our groups.

We look forward to sharing our pumpkins at the Pirton Village Pumpkin show. Thank you to our volunteers who have organised to share our allotment 12:00 - 2:00pm!

Are you looking for a school place for your child from September 2022? We would love to help! We would be delighted to show you around our school on the afternoon of Tuesday 16th November (from 1:30pm - 3:00pm) and during the morning of Wednesday 17th November (from 9:30am - 11:00am). Guided tours will be available following a brief introduction sharing details of our delightful, rural school. No booking necessary but please do feel free to contact the school office for further information or if you would like an alternative date. We can’t wait to meet you!

As part of their learning about the Roman Empire, Kestrels and Owls classes visited the Verulamium Museum in St.Albans. They were able to handle real artefacts and become History Detectives for the day!

There was some great strategic thinking happening in chess club this lunchtime! Fun had by all.😊

Robins class (Y1/2) have produced their own stunning collage masterpieces inspired by the work of Brazilian artist Beatriz Milhales.

Golden tickets to the Head Teacher tea party and photos on our Value Tree have returned! Who will be recognised for sharing the 6 Rs in school this week?

Robins class had fun making their fruit kebabs as winners of our Healthy Snack Competition. Lots of learning about fruit and their countries of origins, lots of designing and of course the all important evaluation! Yummy!

Inspired by the work of Andy Goldsworthy (and perhaps a little time in our allotments!) Robins class have produced beautiful prints based upon patterns in nature!

A huge thank you to all on the PTA who helped organise this today and those who came to visit our cuddly friends! Well done all!

The sunny end to our Spring term may have escaped us but there is a distinct feel of Easter around school today! There is even a touch of spring cleaning and interesting use of natural ingredients in our mud kitchen! We will end our term with our traditional Easter Egg hunt with a prize for all. From all at Pirton School, we wish you a very peaceful and happy Easter.

Altogether again! Very happy children happily learning!

And Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without a school Christmas dinner! For some of our youngest children this is the first of many more to come. Obviously, not everyone together as on previous years but still time to celebrate with our friends.

Just a few of our Hugs in a Heart messages from our Wrens and Robins classes! These heartfelt messages will be making their way to Foxholes Care Home for residents to enjoy over the Christmas period.
