Yesterday we celebrated (a little belatedly!) World Book Day. We had previously postponed this due to the snow and the Year 4 Residential Trip.
Staff and children came to school in a wonderful selection of outfits as they all dressed up as their favourite book character. Parents were also invited into the classrooms in the morning to share a story with the children.
Last week Year 4 were very excited to attend their residential trip at Condover Hall in Shropshire. Pupils from Defford-cum-Besford, Abbey Park and St Barnabas First Schools also took part.
The children completed a variety of outdoor activities including abseiling, climbing and conquest. This experience was also an opportunity for them to develop their team building and independence skills as well as making lots of new friends. It was lovely to see the children really thrive in a different environment as well as celebrating the success of others.
Congratulations to Carla, Cian, Cody, Malia, Molly and Owen who have all had their work chosen for display following their recent art workshop. Their pastel canvases, inspired by space, planets and Earth, will be showcased along with a selection of others from local schools.
The exhibition will be on display at Number 8, Pershore from Thursday 21 June to Wednesday 11 July and is open Monday to Saturday 10am - 4pm and 6pm - 7.30pm on performance evenings. Admission to the gallery space is free of charge.
On Wednesday morning the girls enjoyed a pamper morning in the school hall! They had fun learning how to brush and plait their hair and also learned the importance of keeping their hair clean and tidy.
The boys were also treated to a special hair style by Mr Bayliss!
We would like to thank B&M for their kind donation of hair brushes, clips and combs and would also like to say a big thank you to all the parents who helped with the hairdressing - the children had a fantastic time.
