Thank you to Mrs Clarke for organising a visit to Pershore Abbey for our Year 5 class last week. The children thoroughly enjoyed visiting the Abbey, dressed in mini-monks' habits and experiencing the life of a monk. They shared a frugal meal together and learnt about the Benedictine Monks who were once at Pershore Abbey.
Drowning Prevention Week: Stay Safe Around Water This Summer! As the weather gets warmer, many families head to pools, lakes, rivers, and the seaside to cool off and have fun. While water activities can be a great way to enjoy the summer, it’s important to remember that water can also be dangerous—especially for children.
We would like to share this information from the Royal Life Saving Society:

We had a fabulous Sports Day in the sun yesterday with Reception and Key Stage 1 taking part first, supported by our House Captains from Year 5 and 6. They were followed by Key Stage 2 later in the morning. The children competed in a variety of events, including a Sack Race, Egg and Spoon Race, Hurdles, Balancing a Bean Bag, 3-Legged Race, Scarecrow Race, Javelin and Sprint and Relay. All the children showed great enthusiasm and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. There were also some fantastic examples of sporting skills and wonderful sportsmanship.
A big "thank you" to the Friends for organising our Summer Fayre again this year! We would also like to thank everyone who supported this event by donating tombola prizes, buying raffle tickets, filling jolly jars and supporting all the stalls during the afternoon. We really appreciate your support and will share the final amount raised as soon as we can!
Year 6 enjoyed a visit this morning from Mr Nockton, Head of School, as part of their transition to Pershore High in September. Mr Nockton explained the daily routines and the children were able to ask him any questions they had about the move up in September.
Yesterday, we welcomed the History Man back to school! Pupils in Year 5 enjoyed learning more about World War 1 and what life was like for a soldier during that period. The children also wore outfits to school depicting life at the time, including soldiers, nurses and even a carrier pigeon! Pupils in Year 4 were also able to learn a lot about transport and railways through the ages, looking at the many objects and exhibits the History Man brought with him. A fascinating day with lots of new knowledge gained!
Children in Reception and Year 1 enjoyed a trip to the Swan Theatre, Worcester this week to watch The Baddies, a fabulous show based on the picture book by superstar author and illustrator Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. Thank you to the parents and grandparents who came with us - we hope you enjoyed the show too!
Year 6 enjoyed going bellboating on the River Avon in Pershore before half-term. As well as having a lot of fun, they were able to practice their technique and try out some racing ready for the Pershore Schools Bellboating Regatta later this month!
