Rev Chris Davey joined Mrs Cann in our assembly to share the "School Vision " and to talk about spirituality and how this affects us all. The children gave some great examples including how they have been inspired and have a sense of awe and wonder of events in their lives including previous inspirational speakers we have had to visit us.
The Key Stage 2 children, who are doing Robin Wood as their enrichment at the moment, presented a beautiful, huge collage that they all helped make to celebrate Sir David Attenborourgh 's 100th birthday. This really was an inspirational piece of work and will adorn the walls in the hall shortly. Thank you to Mrs Skeggs and Miss Eliot who have created this with the children.
As part of the Friday Enrichment, "Our Schools, Our World" group wrote a collaborative acrostic about Sir David Attenborough. We talked about his incredible life; the global impact his TV and films had in making us all aware - adults and children - about the need to help look after the planet. The discussion that we had amongst the group about the impact of climate change was a revelation sharing thoughts and concerns together.

Year 5 have been busy creating these beautiful Easter Bunny cards, and we’d love to wish all our families a very happy and peaceful Easter!
See you all in the summer term.
What a treat we had this morning! We celebrated all the amazing musical opportunities that the children get at SRH. County Music teach year 5 violins and year 3 clarinets and it was such a treat to see and hear how much they have learnt over this academic year. Class RJ showed off their skills on the clarinet with “Grumpy Old Man” and Year 5 played “Open String Boogie”
Class MB sang “Time to say hello” and year 2 children in Class
JT demonstrated some amazing rhythm work and keeping the beat to “Jerusalema”. Year 4, who sang their song at Snape Maltings,
sang “Celebrate St Patrick’s Day” so movingly.
The year 4 recorder club played ‘Kum-ba-ya’ and ‘Happy
Birthday’ in beautiful harmony.
Class MS and Class VW have been working on composition this term
and each class played their own compositions
based on Vivaldi’s Four Seasons: Winter using their own conductor to lead the class playing a range of untuned
percussion instruments alongside the piano, violin and the cello.
We enjoyed listening to a range of soloists performing on
the recorder, clarinet, drums, cellist, pianist and guitarist. We also heard a few duets.
We finished with a treat from Mr Burch who played a medley
of songs which we all enjoyed including
rudiments and a paradiddle which we all
took part in.
A huge thank you to County Music for providing our wonderful clarinet and violin teachers, MSF, Mr Slatter, Mrs Lavery, Mr Bold, Mrs Johnson and of course Mrs Mawson who coordinates, liaises and organises all these wonderful music opportunities.
Children should meet the staff by the well, inside the Castle at 3.50pm, we'll sing from 4-4.15pm, parents please stay & sing along, ready to take your child at 4.15pm.
Father Christmas will lead the Lantern Procession from the Castle at 5pm down to Market Hill where the lights will be turned on.
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.
Walkers are needed to help walk the children from school to church, so please let the teacher know if you can help, thank you!
Parents are more than welcome to join our service too :)
On Wednesday 16th July Sir Robert Hitchams took part in a whole school sporting day. The day started off with an assembly on high standards in sport and for the rest of the day the school was on a rotation of sports which was Handball, Tennis, Dance and Playground games. The children came dressed as their sporting heroes and really did make the school proud with their positive attitude and stamina throughout the day.
