A super afternoon was had by the cage footballers on Monday, who skills improved as they played. Several children had not played this version of football before and we came 2nd out of 5 teams. A super result and we go onto to the finals next week! Good luck team. Please note that Uffculme have now advised a finish time of 5.30pm not 6pm. Class 2 and Class 3 had a great visit to Wildside near Hemyock today. Activities included, making fires, learning about survival during the Stone Age and playing outdoor games. Thank you to those parents who were able to help with transport. A big thank you also for those parents who drove for Class 1’s visit to Blundell’s, the children had a super few weeks developing their skills. On behalf of the School Council, thank you so much for your yummy cakes and dressing up. We will let you know our Red Nose Appeal final total next week. Look out for messages about our Solar eclipse plans for next Friday 20th March, we are still finalising our arrangements- the children will need wellies! Good luck to Jessica Grant who is taking part in the National Pony Club Winter Triathlon Finals, at Milton Keynes on Sunday. Jessica will be shooting turning targets from 7 metres, running 1000 metres as fast as she can, and swimming as far as possible in 2 minutes. She qualified last November, and has been training hard since then. Mothering Sunday services are all around our villages and it would be wonderful if the churches are full with young people and their families. As a school we are singing at All Saint’s church in Holcombe at 11am. Children don’t need to wear uniform and are invited to sing our Love is kind song during the service.
