Christmas Video

Sat 12 Dec 2020 Richard

For the first time in over twenty years we've been unable to put on a Christmas Musical or a Nativity Play.

As far as we're concerned this is probably the biggest disappointment which COVID has caused and we're "gutted".

We're trying to make the best of things and instead we're putting together a Christmas Music video. As you can see from the photo filming is underway and we'll be publishing the video on our website, and on YouTube, just before Christmas.

We hope it will lift everyone's spirits.

Christmas Dinner 2020

Mon 07 Dec 2020 Richard

Thank you to Janet, Tara, Robina and Jean in our kitchens for their incredible hard work cooking over 230 meals for this year's Christmas Dinner.
The food was delicious.

We couldn't get together as a whole school like we usually do but it didn't matter because we still had a great time in our classes in our "COVID Bubbles".
Lots of crackers, music, balloons and things like this made for a lot of fun.

Christmas Party 2020

Fri 04 Dec 2020 Richard

Thank you to our PTA for organising our amazing Christmas Party.

Our party took place in our COVID bubbles this year but we still had a brilliant time.
We played party games, listened to Christmas music, ate party food and best of all we were entertained by Magic Martin - he was amazing!!!

Football Finals 2020

Thu 03 Dec 2020 Richard

The rain clouds cleared and the sun came pout for a couple of hours yesterday afternoon (2nd December) and we had an amazing time playing our inter-house football finals.

Our children came out in their "bubbles" and we even invited some socially distant parents into school to watch - for the first time in nearly nine months!

Our Year Three / Four final was between Herons and Puffins and it was a really close match. Both teams lead during the match with a last minute goal, scored from about 20 meters by George in Year Four, meaning a 2 - 2 full time score and extra time.
The extra period didn't separate the teams and we ended up with a penalty shoot out - very exciting but also the worst way to decide a match I think.

After a "best of three" shoot out they were still level and it wasn't until we reached sudden death that Amelia (in Year Four) slotted a shot home for Herons to win 2 - 1.

There's was no doubting the competitive nature of the Year Five / Six final.
Both teams were fully committed with tackles flying in throughout the match.

By half time Herons were in convincing 3 - 0 lead, however Magpies fought back after the break to reach 3 - 2 with only a few minutes to go.
Three amazing goal line clearances from Theo in Year Six kept Herons in front. With time running out and with Magpies pushing forward Herons broke twice.

Goals from Theo, who swapped his defensive duties for attack and Charlie (Year Six) with the last kick of the game brought the final score to 5 -2 and gave victory to Herons, although it's got to be said the match was closer than a three goal margin.

Wouldn't it be great if we could get to the point where we can get out and play some other schools after Christmas!
