Our three Sewing Clubs are as popular as ever and sewing fever continues to sweep the school. We are extremely grateful to Mrs Plume and Michele who plan and deliver the after school clubs which are so popular now they have had to extend to three different evenings. It’s great to see what the children are designing and creating.
Year 6 are having the most fantastic school journey week at PGL Liddington. They have enjoyed day trips out to the Museum of the Great Western Railway and the Cotswolds Animal Park. On site they are having a ball with all the activities – fencing, climbing, giant swing and all the usual PGL fun. The kids have all been amazing and everyone is throwing themselves into the week. Tonight is the big one – disco time!! And tomorrow they will be back home in their beds, full of stories and memories. A huge thank you to all the staff who give up their lives for the week to give the children such an amazing experience. (Now brace yourselves for more than 500 photos!)
We were thrilled this afternoon to meet a genuine hero when Paralympic gold medal winner Susie Rodgers came in to meet us, to tell us about her achievements and to show us her incredible gold medal (which was surprisingly heavy!) Susie told us that she felt ‘shocked and happy’ when she realised she had come first and won the gold medal. The children burst into applause when they saw her medal. What an inspiration and a reminder that if we are determined and resilient we can achieve our dreams too.
Thanks to the parents and carers who came in to support our Macmillan coffee morning today. It was May, Emily and Mum Botting who came up with the idea and asked if they could arrange the coffee morning and cake sale to raise money for this fantatsic charity. Don’t forget, there will be cakes on sale in the bottom hall at the end of the school day. Hope to see you there!
