Poetry Prize Winner
Thu 07 Jul 2022Congratulations to Arya Millar for being Commended in the Somerset Literacy Network Poetry Competition. Arya is now a published poet! She read her beautiful poem and collected her prize & certificate at a glamorous awards ceremony on Tuesday evening, where she met poet AF Harrold.
Well done, Arya – we are very proud of you.
Here’s Arya’s poem…
Mum
You are the shining of the moonlight
In the dead of night.
You are the end of a glow-worm
That makes me feel bright.
You are the car lights
That guide my way.
You are the ambulance’s lights
That saved me today.
You are the crackling fire
That makes me feel snug.
You are the sun
That brings joy and love.

Saturday Garden Rescue
Tue 10 May 2022On Saturday 7th May, a cracking team of parents, pupils and staff descended upon the garden area for a Spring Clean. Following Mrs Odams' meticulous planning and tireless example, this awesome group transformed the class raised beds (having first found them amongst the jungle of weeds). I hope that the pictures give a true impression of the tremendous results.
Thank you to everyone who came for all your hard work and thanks to Mrs Kelly for the wonderful cakes that powered us on!
