Memorial Tree Planting - Remembering Mrs Harold
As a school, we felt it was important to establish a memorial for Mrs.
Harold, a kind and caring member of SRH for 20 years who is missed by staff and
pupils alike.
Yesterday, we welcomed Mrs. Harold’s family to join the school family for a memorial tree planting.
Thank you to Barcham Trees and Mr. Johnson who kindly
donated a beautiful Prunus Shirofugen blossom tree.
Revd Chris Davey led the memorial after school, where staff and Governors were joined by children from Year 5 and 6 with their parents. He spoke about Mrs Harold's kind and caring nature and about the blossom on the tree being a reminder of the children who will have blossomed under her care.
Mrs
Cann presented Mr Harold with the school book of condolence, that also included
all the hearts from the children from the Tree of Love we made.
We'd like to thank everyone who came along.

Snapshot of learning in VW
Snapshot of learning in VW
Class
VW have come back to school with a fantastic work- ethic. Here are some of the
things we've been getting up to in class:
Topic
KS2
have commenced a new topic, Gods and Mortals. With this, we used the computers
to complete a comparative study of the human and physical geography of Greece
and the UK. They compared aspects such as climate, active volcanoes, mountains,
etc.
English
As
the class get closer to the statutory SATs tests in May, we've been looking at
how we carefully structure 3-mark questions on 'impressions', making sure we
collect suitable evidence from the text to help us with this.
Maths
We've
been investigating shape and the sum of interior angles in polygons such as
pentagons, hexagons, etc. the children have been successfully 'splitting' these
shapes into triangles and using this information to assist them.

Assembly
This morning the whole school walked up St Michael's Church for assembly which Mrs Cann lead. We started to think about our new value for this term which is "Courage". At first, we thought about times when we ourselves had shown courage and shared these. We then remembered characters in in the bible and stories from the Old and New Testament which had stories of courage in - Daniel and Goliath; Noah's Ark; 40 days in the wilderness; were among others. We then thought about people who had shown courage in their lives such as Florence Nightingale; Greta Thunberg; Captain Tom and therefore been inspirational to us in our lives.
For the rest of this term, we will focusing on different areas of courage in our class and school assemblies.

MB's Share Session
Today it was MB's turn to invite parents in for a 'Easter wreath making' craft session! It was so lovely to see all the different variations and imagine that went into making them. The session ended with the children eating a chocolate nest that they made earlier on. Thank you to all the parents that came, it was lovely to see so many of you.
