Decking the Tree with Eco Delight!

Today, our KS2 Eco Council, visited St. Michael’s Church to decorate our school’s tree for the Christmas Tree Festival. 

All the decorations were hand made by the council members from Year 1 to 6. They made watercolour paper angels, and they did a fantastic job of arranging them on the tree. 

We think you will agree, the tree looks just beautiful!

SRH PUPILS SHINE AT SNAPE

We are delighted to share that several of our talented current and former SRH pupils will be performing with the Co-op Juniors in ‘The Magic of Christmas at Snape . They will be taking to the stage for an exciting run of ten performances between 5–14 December. It is wonderful to see our pupils continuing to pursue their passion for the performing arts. 

In addition, some SRH pupils who attend Sing Praise, as well as former pupils now part of Reverb, will be singing in the 12:30 performance of The Snowman at Snape.  We wish them all the very best with their performances.

Ignatius Sancho Inspires Class JA!

What an exciting day in Class JA! We’ve been reading The Lizzie and Belle Mystery by J.T. Williams and discovered the amazing story of 18^th Century trailblazer, Ignatius Sancho - a man who went from being enslaved to becoming a writer and a voice for freedom. The children were so inspired that we created our very own mini-books all about his life! From colourful covers to fascinating facts, our classroom was buzzing with creativity and pride in sharing his incredible journey.

   

Cobbling Together a Healthy Meal with Class JA

Class JA have been busy cooking in small groups, learning about healthy eating and why different foods help our bodies. The children loved making tasty Beef Cobbler with Savoury Scones, chopping, measuring and mixing while discovering that balanced meals can be fun and delicious!

Year 4 Big Sing

Year 4 enjoyed a wonderful morning of music and song at Snape Maltings as they took part in the Big Sing event. 

The event was a culmination of several weeks of hard work by the children as they learnt a range of songs, both long and short, which told stories from history, explored world events and celebrated our voices coming together.

Favourite songs included 'Tale of the Titanic', 'The Witches, the Whale and the Blacksmith's Tale' and 'Old Abram Brown' which were sung in part as a round with the children taking on different parts and following our expert conductors Aga and Emily. 

Children in need sale

School council and Eco council did an amazing job with the toy and book sale in aid of Children in Need.  We were grateful for the toys, books, jigsaws, boxed games, dressing up toys and soft toys which we received. 

Thank you to everyone for your donations and for those of you bought toys and made donations to a very well worth cause. We raised £259.72.
