We were delighted to welcome the Mayor of Pershore, Mrs Julie Hemming, to our school on Friday 27 March when she came to officially open our new playground. We are very grateful to the school community – staff, families, the Friends/PTA – for their support in funding and delivering this new equipment which the children are thoroughly enjoying.
Children in Pre-school, Reception and Year 1 enjoyed another visit by Tiddler Town at the end of the Spring Term. A great variety of engaging role-play stations were set up, including a Post Office, Fire and Police Stations, Hospital, Garage, Clothes Boutique, Beauty Salon, and Construction Site. These areas sparked the children's curiosity and imagination, and they really enjoyed experiencing the different roles.
The Easter Bake Off Competition is back! Plates will be available to buy from the school office from Monday 16 March and all entries should be brought into school on Monday 13 April. We look forward to seeing your amazing bakes!

The children and staff had a wonderful time celebrating World Book Day on Thursday 5 March. There were lots of amazing costumes filling the classrooms with colour and creativity. Throughout the day, the children took part in a range of exciting book-related activities. It was a great celebration of reading, imagination, and having fun together.
Reception had a fantastic time at the Early Years Music Festival organised by SevernArts yesterday morning! The theme of the festival was Space and the children sang lots of space songs and had fun dancing with scarves and making music with their homemade shakers. They also loved dressing up in their space-themed costumes!
Our Year 5 class were invited, along with pupils from other local schools, to watch Pershore High School's production of Beauty and the Beast. The children really enjoyed the performance, which was followed by a singing and dancing workshop to learn the song "Gaston". We would like to thank the Drama Dept for inviting us.
Yesterday, all the children took part in workshops bringing science to life: A crime had been committed, and the class had to work together to piece together the evidence! Clues and evidence had to be identified, collected, interpreted and analysed. Children practised science skills such as observing, exploring and asking questions.
A big thank you to the Friends for organising the end-of-term disco and to Mr Gilbert for being a fantastic DJ! The children had a fabulous time – a lovely way to end the first half of the Spring Term!
