Pollinator Garden
Wed 17 May 2023Last year we were delighted to have been successful in our application for a Rural Community Pollinator Grant. This allowed us to create a garden at the front of school, which will attract wildlife and make a beautiful display. The plants chosen are heavily scented and colourful along with some herbs and vegetables. Our pupils have been very busy getting the planters and beds ready and have had a great time planting.
They have been taught anumber of life skills, such as how to identify a weed, planting and how to use a brush!

Right Royal Knees Up
Fri 05 May 2023Today we celebrated the Coronation of Charles III with a day filled with fun and food!
We had an Assembly where P7 told us all about the Coronation and they even had their own King Charles III who was crowned!
We celebrated our King and Queen for the day, who cut the ribbon for our celebrations to begin. Next, we had our Right Royal Parade with everyone showing off their super outfits.
After that, we had a lovely Break and a special Coronation cupcake to follow.
Our lunch today was a Coronation special which we all enjoyed eating together and Mrs H made sure the staff were well looked after too.
After lunch we had another surprise, a visit from Robert the ice cream man!
Finally, P4-7 had a Right Royal Quiz altogether in the Hall.
What a super day!
A huge thank you to all the staff who helped today to make it such a special occasion for the children.
