Thank you to everyone who supported Red Nose Day on Friday! There was a sea of red in school, and a lot of superheroes, as the children dressed up to support Comic Relief! The whole school also came together, via Zoom, to take part in an assembly on kindness.
We raised the fantastic sum of £262.54!
Please take a look at the Easter Trail happening around Pershore from Sunday 28th March – Saturday 10th April. There will be 10 eggs hidden around the town and families can use a map to help find them all. The trail has specifically been designed for children and families and is a great opportunity to get out for a walk and some fresh air!
A copy of the trail is on the Letters Page of our website.
Despite not being in school for World Book Day, we still managed to celebrate either in school or via home learning! Each class took part in a variety of activities during the day, including - story sessions via Zoom (including a story session with Tom Fletcher), dressing up as a favourite character from a book, designing book covers and sharing their favourite stories.
By reading together and making stories fun, we hope to develop a culture of reading for pleasure which will encourage the next generation of readers.
On Friday, Year 6 had their first transition meeting with Pershore High School via Zoom. Mr Nockton spoke to Year 6 about what the process for transition would be and what life would be like at the High School when they go in September. The children were then able to ask questions about their worries and concerns. This is the beginning of the process to ease the children into their Secondary life throughout the Summer term leading up to September. The children were very excited when the Zoom call was over and it prompted lots of valuable discussions. If the children or parents have any further questions Mr Nockton is happy to answer via email.
