"Learning, Caring and Inspiring" assembly

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.  

Our Schools, Our World celebrate Sir David Attenborough

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.

JRSO poster competition

The JRSOs organised a poster competition asking the children to design a poster to alert drivers in Framlingham to "slow down" for the ducks.  We were delighted that Clive and Emma from Framlingham Town Council were able to come and judge the poster competition and selected two posters which were chosen as they were bright and clearly laid out.   Well done to the girls for their winning posters... watch this space and look out for them around town!!  Thank you to Emma and Clive for judging the competition.

Farm Fair Trip Year 3 and 4

Class RJ, KHLH and KN had the most wonderful day yesterday at the Farm Fair at Trinity Park in Ipswich. With an incredible variety of activities ranging from watching sheep, bloodhound and ferret shows to learning all about the journey from potato seeds to delicious crisps, the children had such a brilliant time. The sun shone most of the day and we are so proud of the pupils for being so well behaved and respectful to other schools all day. Other highlights include craft activities, trying delicious sausages and an exciting tractor ride.  We also picked up three beautiful trees which were donated to the school.  Thanks so much to Suffolk Council and all of the wonderful farmers for enabling us to learn so much.

Big Walk and Wheel

Wow!!!  What a fabulous effort we had with the "Big Walk and Wheel".... It was so lovely to see so many of our children enjoying their journeys to school either on bike, scooter or walking.  Many congratulations to those children who are parking further away and walking the last bit into school.   Keep it up and enjoy this glorious weather!  Watch this space for a new scooter storage unit coming soon... 

Big Walk & Wheel Challenge - 16-27 March

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.

Recital at St Michael's Church

On Wednesday afternoon the Woolf Quartet treated Year 6 to music by Haydn, Beethoven and Florence Price. The four amazingly talented musicians met at the Royal Academy of Music.

We met the musicians afterwards to thank them for the wonderful concert. 

Our Year 6 cellists and violinists had their photo taken with their cellist and violinists respectively. We explained we don’t have any viola players yet as bigger hands are needed to play this larger instrument!

Remembrance

Our school held our Remembrance service on the front playground today, with the House captains bearing the House flags.

Mrs Cann spoke to the children about the meaning of Remembrance, and why it is important to think about those brave people who keep us safe in times of war, and remember their courage and sacrifices.

We were pleased to welcome to our service, the School Governors who were here for a meeting.  Thanks must go to our wonderful trumpet player, who timed his delivery of the 'First Post' perfectly, we thank the High School for allowing him to come down to support our service.

Dear God

Today we remember those who gave their lives so that we could live in peace.

Thank you for theor courage and sacrifice.

Help us to be peacemakers in our school, our homes and our world.

May we always choose kindness and care for one another.

We pray for peace in every country and for all who still suffer because of war.

In Jesus' name,

Amen

 

FRIDAY ENRICHMENT - Our Schools, Our World

As our first wave of our enrichment afternoons draws to end this afternoon, the “Our Schools, Our World” sessions have explored many aspects of sustainability within the community, environment and on a larger scale across the world and climate change.

Today the children have created some fantastic board games to show their understanding and have included some great ideas such as “You left a shower on. Miss a go”; “You have reused a t-shirt to make a bag. Move forward 2 spaces” etc all linked to energy, water, biodiversity, renewable sources, reduce, recycle and reuse.  

It was great to see the ideas that the children shared about the positives and the negatives that they have learnt and been applied to their board games.

Story Bridge at the Library - TOMORROW

Harvest assemblies

We celebrated our harvest festival at St Michaels' s Church.  Every class contributed by sharing either a poem, a song or facts about the Waveney food bank.  Many of the classes focused particularly on sharing - a message which Reverend Chris reinforced in his blessing.  Our donations were being shared with local families through the Waveney Food Bank.  Matthew shared some interesting facts and information about the charity at both Key Stage services.  The worship team shared prayers about Harvest.   Nursery and Reception children held their special assembly at school. 

The worship team helped load up the van with not only our school donations but also the donations from the service at St Michael's Church last Sunday. 

Thank you to everyone  for the donations and we know that there will be families in our local community who will be benefiting from all of these donations. 

Thank you also to the parents who kindly offered to help walk the children to and from the church and those that came to join in the harvest celebrations at the church.
