• Queen's Platinum Jubilee Celebrations

  Thu 26 May 2022

  Pupils took part in a number of events to celebrate the 70 year reign of Queen Elizabeth II who became Queen of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth in 1952.

   

  The day started with an exciting Queen's Jubilee Treasure Hunt with pupils searching our huge school playing fields for different questions relating to the Queen and the Royal Family. It was lovely to see the children working together to find the questions and then discuss the answers.

   

  This was followed by a super 'Street Party' outside on our playground where all pupils enjoyed a variety of sandwiches, crudities and cookies. A huge thank you to our Kitchen Team and Midday Supervisors for providing a wonderful lunch experience. We were so lucky with the weather too!

   

  Finally, the children were able to show their FABulous home made Royal Crowns during the street party. There were so many amazing, colourful and creative entries.

• Dog Mentor Assembly

  Fri 06 May 2022

  We held a FAB assembly this week where the pupils were introduced to one of Pelham Primary's wonderful Dog Mentors, Teddy. Miss Brophy and Miss Beasley from Pelham came over to visit us and spoke to the pupils about the benefits of having a Dog Mentor in school. Our pupils learnt how to be around dogs and found out some useful facts about Dog Mentors. We are so excited that Hugo (our Dog Mentor) will be working with us.
