WW2 trip year 3 and 4

Posted on June 10th, 2022

Year 3 and 4 have been on a trip to support their studies of World War 2. They had a fabulous time and just look at the feedback about our amazing children!

Subject: school visit to the NNR

Dear Mrs Gardener,

I am writing on behalf of Libby Henshaw, David Parmenter and myself Chris Parmenter.  We are all volunteers at the NNR and for years were part of the education team which sadly is no more. Libby is a retired teacher herself.,

We had the pleasure of entertaining your lovely years 3 and 4 when they came for a day out and to see our beautiful Railway Cottage, Museum and Model Railway.

We want to tell you that they were a real joy to interact with, and we were able to have a lot of fun whilst they learned more about the WW2 project they are doing in school.  Their families and yourselves must be incredibly proud of them.  They are a credit to you all.

The teachers also were so interactive and helpful. Clearly there is much mutual respect between teachers and pupils and it really shows in their behaviour and knowledge and willingness to learn.

We hope they took away some useful memories and that they had a lovely day.  We would love to see any photos that were taken by your staff.  We certainly  enjoyed it as much as they seemed to.

Kind regards and best wishes

Chris Parmenter  NNR re- enactment volunteer.

*Acrostic poems about jubilee

*Information booklets about key events that happened every year in the 2010’s.

*Listened to music that came out in this era.

*Learnt the song ‘Sing’ by Gary Barlow to perform at our street party Friday.

Dynamo Cricket

On Tuesday 17^th May, 8 year 5/6 competed in our cluster Dynamo Cricket Competition at North Runcton. It was a warm mostly sunny day and everyone was excited to be competing again.

The nine schools taking part were divided into 3 pools, we had Gayton and South Wootton.  We sat the first match out and watched Gayton win by one run against South Wootton. It was our turn now against South Wootton and they won which left us to play Gayton, we won. This left all the teams on 3 points which meant it was down to average run rate, unfortunately that put us in third which left them a little disappointed but they learnt a lot and were determined to improve.

The second round of matches pitted us against Flitcham and Whitefriars we found our stride and with some very good catches and consistent bowling, we won both games. They all played with enthusiasm, supporting each other throughout and were very sporting whether winning or losing.

St Martha’s  won on the day with South Wootton in second and Holy Meadows in third all of which qualified for the cluster finals.

A surprise was to come, a whistle sounded halfway through the afternoon, everyone assembled near the pavilion and Rocket Ice Lollies were given out for everyone to enjoy, which they did.  Once consumed play resumed.

Well Done Cole, Dexter, Joshua, Finlay, Harry, Sam, Charlie and George.

Netball News – Bee Fliers

Posted on April 4th, 2022

Bee Fliers Netball

at KES Tuesday 29^th March

Twelve boys and girls from years 3 and 4 attended this festival along with 10 other teams. They were all divided into 3 pools and played each other rotating into another set of pools and once again playing each other, unfortunately there was not enough time to complete this round. Four children were on court, a third of a full size netball court, at a time, 2 defenders and 2 attackers who were rotated on and off court after each game, basic netball rules were adhered to and at times it was quite hectic. Both teams did very well and there was a distinct improvement as the morning progressed. Although some of them were a little nervous it was a good introduction into the game and it certainly helps playing against other schools.

There were lots of smiles and positive comments from the children on the day and their parents the next. It was great to see the younger ones playing and being competitive.

Thank you to Mrs Garrard too.

Well done Jaime, Neve, Elsa, Lacey, Pip, Amelia, Foster, Lenny, Dylan, Charlie, William, Isaac D.
