Primary News What a week! ‘Thank you’ to you all for your messages of support this week with our SIAMS inspection.

The day went very well and reinforced just how thankful I am for our children, staff, parents and governors. I would like to share a special ‘thank you’ to our governors who work incredibly hard to raise standards through their support, monitoring and volunteering significant amounts of time to the school. We couldn’t do our jobs without them.

We look forward to sharing the final report once it has been published.

The Christmas hampers are displayed proudly in the library and will make their way to the Tythe Barn to be raffled off at Saturday’s Christmas Fayre. Again, this was made possible by parent support– thank you for your donations and to the ‘hamper team’ lead by Mrs Box.

Christmas Jumper Day

Children are invited to come to school wearing a Christmas jumper on Friday 13th December for a £1 donation. All monies raised will be donated to Save The Children.

Class One—Visit from Suffolk Wildlife

Trust

Last Friday afternoon the Explorers

enjoyed learning all about the homes of

different wild animals in Suffolk. The

session began with the opportunity to

look at footage of different wild animals

in gardens around the county. The

children then explored the different ways

animals make their nests. They looked

at a variety of different birds nests, a

section of a beehive and at a mermaids

purse. The session continued with a

nest box trail where the children

matched the nest box with the animal

they thought lived in it. The children then

discovered the type of leaves

hedgehogs use for their nests when they teamed

up to play a hedgehog nest game. Finally the

children enjoyed getting outside and collecting the

right kind of leaves to make nests for their very

own little woollen hedgehogs. A great afternoon

was had all round.

Posada

We are looking forward to our Posada Assembly on

Monday with the Open the Book team. The first

candle on our advent wreath (kindly donated by Mrs

Box) will be lit and a nativity scene displayed in the

hall. The children will then devliver the nativity scene

to our neighbour Olive before it makes it’s way

around the village and to the Church in time for

Christmas.
