End of term message from Mrs Wright

As we reach the end of another wonderful school year, it is the perfect time to reflect on all that we have achieved together. It has been a year filled with learning, fun, friendships and memorable moments.

Our final weeks have certainly been busy! One of the highlights was our Junior production of Pirates of The Curry Bean. Performing over two exceptionally warm evenings, our talented cast put on an amazing show. Every child involved should be incredibly proud of themselves. Their confidence and enthusiasm shone through and they entertained us all with a truly memorable performance.

We have also enjoyed celebrating our Year 6 pupils with their leavers’ disco and special leavers' lunch. These occasions have given us the opportunity to reflect on the wonderful contribution they have made to our school over the years. While we will miss them greatly, we are excited to see what the future holds for each of them. We wish every one of our Year 6 children the very best of luck as they begin the next stage of their education. We will remember them with great fondness and know they will be shining stars in their new schools.

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to our parents, carers and families for your continued encouragement and support throughout the year. Working together enables us to provide the very best experiences for our children and we are truly grateful for the partnership we share.

Thanks also go to our dedicated staff, whose hard work, care and commitment make our school such a happy and inspiring place to learn. Every member of the team goes above and beyond for our children and I am incredibly proud to work alongside them.

To our governors, thank you for your guidance, encouragement and ongoing support throughout the year. Your commitment to the school is greatly appreciated.

Finally, to all of our pupils, thank you for bringing so much energy, kindness and enthusiasm into school every day. Your excellent attitudes and willingness to embrace every opportunity make our school a very special place. It is a privilege to be your Headteacher.

I hope you all enjoy a happy, relaxing and well deserved summer break with your families. We look forward to welcoming everyone back in September for another exciting year and we are especially excited to welcome the new children and families who will soon become part of our school family.

A huge thank you to everyone who made a voluntary contribution towards St. Barnabas through the Infant and Junior Sports Day, and Year 6 Leavers’ photography.

Thanks to your incredible generosity, we have raised an amazing £655.

Your kindness and support have been overwhelming, and this money will go towards St. Barnabas in recognition of the outstanding care and support they provide to families when they need it most.

Thank you once again for you generosity-it really does make a difference.

Year 2 have had a fantastic day at the seaside today. We started our adventure at Old Hunstanton with a talk from the RNLI. They were incredibly impressed with our children’s excellent water safety knowledge and taught us even more about the life boats, hover craft and the important work of the crew and lifeguards. Afterwards we headed onto the beach where everyone enjoyed building sandcastles, digging giant holes and collecting special shells to put into the felt pouches that we have been busy making as part of our DT project. By 1 O’Clock we were all definitely ready to tuck into some delicious fish and chips and special picnics. We are now heading back to school with lots of happy smiles, sandy toes and plenty of stories to tell about our amazing day. Well done Year 2, you have all been brilliant.

Year 3 went off on a magical adventure today!

Day 1 of Harry Potter related activities saw the children design their unique houses with their own sets of values and colourful house crests. They then dabbled in the art of Divination, attempting to read each other’s fortunes before discovering that their precious fortune tellings have been stolen by the ever mischievous Peeves! Working together they broke the code to uncover where he hid them.

The afternoon brought plenty of excitement as everyone took to the Quidditch hall. Teamwork was the key to success with Chasers racing to score with the Quaffle, Beaters trying to tag the opposing Chasers and Seekers hunting the incredibly elusive Golden Snitch - played by our volunteer children.

What a great first day! We can’t wait to see what adventures await on Day 2!

What do you do when it is sunny outside? Make shadow monsters of course! Year 3 brought the monsters to life in their English lessons by translating cryptic letters they received to find out information about the planet the monsters came from.

What a fantastic morning our Year 1 and Year 2 children had taking part in their interhouse games!☀️

The sun was shining, the excitement was buzzing and our children had an amazing time putting all the skills they have been learning this term into action!

From hit the wicket and bat the ball to netball shoot out and football shoot out, everyone gave each activity their all. It was wonderful to see such brilliant teamwork, determination and sportsmanship throughout the morning.

We are so proud of every single child for trying their best, encouraging one another and having so much fun!

A huge thank you to Miss Lawniczak for organising it all!

🎉We're incredibly proud of our Year 1 pupils, who achieved a fantastic 100% pass rate in this year's Phonics Screening Check! 🎉

With a class average of 37.7 out of 40 (well above the pass mark of 31), these results reflect not only our expert daily phonics teaching but also the impact of our daily reading sessions, where children develop confidence, fluency and the ability to apply their phonics skills in real reading.

What a fantastic morning our Year 1 class had at Sycamore Farm!🚜

The children had an amazing time exploring the farm, learning all about the different crops and how they are harvested. They were also fascinated by the huge combine harvester, the forager and the tractors. The children even got to sit inside some of these incredible machines!

One of the highlights of the morning was a trailer ride around the farm to see the cattle in the fields. There were smiles all around as the children enjoyed the beautiful countryside while learning more about where our food comes from. The children loved being able to see the different cattle in the fields and enjoyed calling them over to say hello.

A huge thank you to Sycamore Farm for giving our children such a warm welcome and providing a fun, memorable and educational experience. We had a wonderful day!
