• Leavers Service

  Mon 20 Jul 2015

  Friends and family joined us on Friday morning for our Leavers Service.  Year 4 children spoke of their hopes and wishes for the future before putting their writing into a special box to be opened when they are 21!  They have also put in items to remind them of their time at Cherry Orchard including a programme from the school play, a DVD, a school photo and sports trophies! We will also be planting a cherry tree to remind us of our Year 4 class and the children have all written their name and the date on pebbles to be placed around the base of the tree.

   

  We were also pleased to welcome Mr John Angood, President of Pershore Rotary Club who came to our service and presented all the Year 4 children with a dictionary donated by the Rotary Club.

   

  We also said goodbye to three members of staff - Miss Buttitta who is leaving to become a teacher, Mrs Corteen who will be starting a teacher training course and Miss Jinks who will be continuing to teach sports in primary schools.

   

  Tracy Gresham, Chair of the Friends, is also leaving us as Lucas is moving on to Middle School.  We would like to say a big thank you for all her hard work over the last few years and the fundraising events she has organised - we will miss her!

   

  Year 4 sang an emotional Leavers Song before the whole school joined in with a last performance of the song What A Knight from the school production.

   

  After the service, friends and family joined the children on the field for a picnic - a lovely way to finish the term!

   

  Good luck at Middle School Year 4 - Shine like the stars that you are!

• What a Knight!

  Wed 08 Jul 2015
  This week the whole school has been involved in our Summer Production "What a Knight" which we held at Number 8 in Pershore.  The Year 4 children took the main character roles with all  the other classes performing a dance during the show; Reception dressed up as princes and princesses dancing to Good to be Me,  Year 1 danced to Night Fever, Year 2 to Smooth Criminal and Year 3 to Could it be Magic!  Everyone had worked really hard during rehearsals and this certainly paid off during the performances; the cast and audience both really enjoyed the show.  Thank you to all the parents and friends for being a great audience - laughing at the jokes and showing such support for the children!

• Move Up Day

  In preparation for the new academic year in September, children across the school spent the day in their new classroom on Friday. This gave the children an excellent opportunity to get to know their new teacher and find out about the exciting things they will be doing in the new term.  We were also pleased to see the children who will be joining us in Reception from September; Miss Robinson was very proud of the way they all settled into their new classroom!

   

  Year 4 children also spent the day at their chosen Middle School - we look forward to hearing about all the exciting things they have found out about their new school!
