News
Yr 6 Dodgeball
On Wednesday 6 of our Year 6's competed against other local Primary Schools in a Dodgeball Tournament held at Trafalgar Secondary School.
Year 6 Flowplant Trip 27.02.25
Year 6 had a truly wonderful time at Flowplant, an engineering company in Salisbury. Thanks to Mr Smith, and his skilled team, the children learned much about how engineering can be used to solve a range of puzzles and overcome challenges. We are great believers in the maxim that ‘if you can see it, you can be it’ so let’s hope we have inspired a generation of engineers.
Leeson House 2025
At the beginning of March, Year 5 had a fantastic residential visit at Leeson House, in Dorset. The weather was truly wonderful and is meant that all of the exciting outward-bound activities could take place without wellies and brollies. The children were magnificent ambassadors for the school, as always, and a great time was had by one and all, as evidenced by the photos!
19.05.2025
It is utterly wonderful news that Mrs Griffiths’ daughter arrived safely on Tuesday. We send our best wishes to Clara’s family as they revel in the joy that she will bring to their lives.
Last week was awash with accountability. The Year 6 team are to be commended for their skill and courage and thanks to staff thoughtfulness and flexibility, our oldest children were able to perform to the best of their ability in the SATs. One of the Kestrels also wanted the younger children to be thanked for their consideration too!
Friday night was as joyful as ever as DJ Dion joined us for a couple of hours of non-stop dancing and games. We must thank the HSA for organising these free, community events as they mean so much to the children…..and Ms McMorrin! On Saturday morning, we cheered on the biggest mini marathon team that we have fielded for many a year and they were truly spectacular! Every child performed to the best of their ability over the mountainous course on such a sunny day. A special mention goes to the Year3 /4 girls team who won the event for their category!
In staffing news, we are delighted to share that Maria Turnbull is going to be Manor Fields new Deputy Head and Christopher Wakeman will join the teaching team. In readiness for Transition Day, when children spend the morning with their new teaching staff, September’s staffing plan will be published in June’s newsletter.
Finally, and as usual, a very busy week lies ahead of us. Today, we shall welcome the opportunity to share the marvellous learning that takes place in the Resource Base with the Local Authority. We shall embrace a week of enterprise and money, that will include National Numeracy Day, and on Thursday, Robins and Kingfisher 1 will spend a fun-filled day at Finkley Down Farm.
The half term holiday will start at 3:15 on Thursday and we hope that every member of our community enjoys a safe and happy break. We shall look forward to being reunited for Term 6 on Monday 2nd June @ 8:45.
Ms McMorrin Brighton Marathon
On Sunday 6th April, Ms McMorrin took part in the Brighton Marathon, as planned. It was not very pretty, and it was certainly not very fast, but it was completed! Thanks to the generosity of the community, over £1,100 has been raised for the NSPCC. Thank you so very much for your encouragement and kindness and support all its many forms. It is heartwarming to imagine how many children might be helped as the result of your sponsorship.
