It's never too late for Christmas Dinner.....

With the festive music playing and turkey, roast potatoes and Brussel sprouts adorning the plates of the children, we were finally able to celebrate our school Christmas Dinner.  We welcomed some of the Governors to join us for this special occasion.  Some children wore their festive snowman hats.  The year 6 donned their aprons and stepped up brilliantly to help the MDSAs in distributing the food to the teachers, teaching assistants, visitors and children too. Thank you to the kitchen staff  who made the magic happen and all the MDSAs who helped.   Happy New Year to everyone! 

 

Have you applied for your child’s school place next year?

 If not, we’d love to invite you to visit us to give you a sense of what life is like here at our wonderful school.  At Sir Robert Hitcham’s we recognise that each child is unique, with their own set of gifts and talents. As educators, it is our duty to nurture and develop them all.

Our school is described by parents and visitors as having a ‘happy, friendly and family feel.’  As experienced staff we pride ourselves on knowing the children well, in order to be able to plan, support, inspire and challenge them to be their very best selves.

We are privileged to have a wonderfully committed and experienced team of teaching and support staff, strengthened by our parents, our dedicated Governors and the local community.  This means that all of our children should be able to go out into the world secure in the values that are at the heart of our Christian school. 

Our curriculum has community at its heart - it is inclusive, creative and exciting.  The website, Blog and Facebook page, will give you an insight into our school, the range of opportunities for the children and our curriculum.

Do get in touch if you would like to arrange a visit and see for yourself what we offer here at Framlingham Sir Robert Hitcham’s before the application deadline of 15 January 2025.

 Application information:

All of the information parents/carers need to help them make their decision is available on the SCC website at www.suffolk.gov.uk/admissions including information about the School Travel Policy and some School Travel Scenarios.

Mills Meadow Carol Singing

The Worship Team along with some Year 6 children visited Mills Meadow yesterday to sing carols to the residents, we enjoyed our time together!  

Thank you for having us.

Stop Motion Fun!

RJKH have loved making stop videos in Computing over the last few weeks. 

Learning how to move the characters slowly and carefully to tell a story has been a really fun challenge and the children produced some brilliant short videos. 

Have a great Christmas and do watch the new Wallace and Gromit film to experience the wonder of stop motion! Here are some of our favourites:

Last Day of Term!

 We wish all our families a wonderful Christmas break!

The children return to school on Tuesday 7 January.

Festive Food Fun!

Each class has enjoyed a festive lunch in their classrooms today.  Many classes made eco-friendly hats to celebrate too. 

The sound of Christmas fills the Church

Year 3 and year 4 treated us to a beautiful Christmas carol service in St Michael's  Church.  The singing was angelic; the chime bars were very harmonious and the retelling of the story of the birth of Jesus was told by the year 4 children whilst the year 3 pupils acted out the story alongside the narrators.  

An alternative version of "Away in the manger" was sung so beautifully.  "Silent night" was magical with the chime bar introduction followed by the French rendition filling the church.   The congregation were in awe of the song "Gabriel" with the two part harmony which was breath-taking.  Thank you to all involved... it has certainly set us up for Christmas. 

 

 

 

 

Guess who has just visited us!!!

Pumpkin's cheery ways!

Pumpkin has enjoyed his first few weeks here at SRH and has visited the classes throughout the term.  He loves having cuddles with the children and they have adored meeting and holding him.  He even has his own collection of Christmas Cards!!   He has been such a wonderful addition to the school making lots of children and staff smile at his cuteness.  

Stained Glass Biscuits in VW

On Wednesday, VW had the chance to get creative with some Christmas baking, making their own stained glass biscuits. 

They measured the ingredients with care and prepared the dough. After shaping the biscuits, they carefully made a hole in the center to add a colourful glacier sweet, creating the stained-glass effect. 

A big thank you to Mrs. Jenkins for organizing the activity and to Mrs. Skeggs for her support.
