Year 4 Visit Suffolk Farming Fair

On Thursday 24th April all of our Year 4 children went to the farmfair at Trinity Park, near Ipswich. This was an opportunity for the children to learn more about the countryside, farming and how our food is produced.






The children followed up the trip with some 'recount' writing. Here are some examples:






Inter School Rugby Tournament

A Team who came runners-up in the district tournament at Hartismere High School.

B Team who came 4th.


Action shots taken by Mr Byer






House Rugby Tournament




Our inter house touch-rugby tournament was won by Mills, with Howard 2nd, Bulstrode 3rd and Hitcham 4th.
