Hunstanton trip – beach, bakery and beautiful sea creatures!

Posted on June 14th, 2018

A wonderful day out was had by Reception and years 3 and 4  on Tuesday 12th June, with our trip to Hunstanton. Children enjoyed time at the rock pool and in the aquarium at the Sealife centre, followed by lunch on the beach and games. Year 3 and 4 also made beach sculptures and had a really interesting time at Mr Bun the Baker, finding out about life as a baker and even making their own doughnuts. Read all about it in the Hunstanton town guide, link below.

Woodwind visit

Posted on March 23rd, 2018

Years 3 and 4, plus most of Year 2, enjoyed a visit from Adrian Cosker last Thursday. Adrian is a woodwind specialist and he brought a selection of his instruments for the children to handle and listen to, including the flute, piccolo, clarinet, alto saxophone and the grandfather of the saxophone family, the baritone saxophone! The children were fascinated by the size of the largest saxophone! They really loved the fact that they were encouraged to hold and investigate Adrian’s old flutes and clarinets…what a fabulous opportunity to feel a real instrument and begin to understand about the fingering systems. Adrian also showed the children a selection of reeds and explained how they are made and how they vibrate to produce sound.

We are very grateful to Peter Barker and Classic Music Rocks for facilitating the visit.

Compassion in Action !

Posted on March 6th, 2018

This half term we have been thinking about the Christian value of compassion. We have been talking about how we can help people, sometimes when  we have to make a sacrifice to do so. Mrs Wright sent me this amazing photo of Elizabeth, who had decided herself to have hair cut off, for the charity The Little Princess Trust. Through sponsorship Elizabeth single handily raised £500 so far, as well as, of course, the hair donation which will be used to make a wig for someone who is poorly with cancer and is losing their hair.

What a fabulous example of compassion to inspire us all. We are so proud of you Elizabeth and your new hair cut really suits you too.

Here is a photo of Elizabeth at Mrs Underwood’s salon, just before her hair was cut.  A full 15 inches of hair was cut!

Just before the chop !

Rugby Triumph!

Posted on November 16th, 2017

In 2016 with an adhoc team and short notice we were invited to enter the West Norfolk Rugby School Sport Partnership (SSP) tournament, in our PE kits, we came second to last. We were stirred by this and felt we could do better and so The Sandringham & West Newton School Rugby Team was duly created.

However, this year with our new professional kit there was a worry that we were ‘all kit and no idea’ that’s how smart we looked – thanks to Bespoke Norfolk LTD who sponsored our rugby kit. But, this year not only did we look the part – we WON! We won ALL the games and our team came away with the GOLD medals.

It was such a TEAM effort every one of our team scored a ‘try’.

Thank you so much to Stewart Parris (rugby coach) who freely volunteered his time to coach the team pre / mid and post-matches on Friday 10^th November. And Mrs James who helped transport players to and from the West Norfolk Rugby Club.

I have to say the buzz in the playground upon the teams return, was just immeasurable!

Fridays Rugby Team included: Giovanni, Henry, Josh, Lilly, Niamh, Stanley, Thomas and Tyler.

SUPER TEAM EFFORT – WELL DONE ALL!

 Additional details available on SSP website: www.westnorfolkssp.co.uk and details will be in the Lynn News.

Thank you for  the support of all our wonderful parents.

Fantastic Fossils by Tyler Kerry

Posted on July 11th, 2017

In science, we did fossils and we learnt about Marry Anning.

She dedicated her life to fossils. While she was finding fossils, her dog died in a landslide. She helped us find out more about fossils.

She also discovered lots of dinosaurs.
