Tennis Festival
This afternoon, Class 3 had fun developing their tennis skills during the Year 3&4 Tennis Festival.
Thank you Grantham Tennis Club for organising lots of different activities to develop our skills. We had a great time.
Coronation Celebration Party
We had a wonderful time on Sunday afternoon celebrating the King’s Coronation with a scrumptious afternoon tea. Thank you everyone for your delicious contributions.
As well as enjoying a delicious tea, fun was also had playing traditional games like: croquet, skittles, giant Jenga, golf, boules, etc outside in the beautiful sunshine, and indoors there was a selection of quizzes and a ‘Yes and no bean game’.
It was lovely to spend time together. Thank you to the PTFA for organising the event for the school and church to enjoy.
Thank you to everyone for attending and your help in making the occasion one to remember.

Stop Motion Animation
Today in club, the children made Stop Motion animations using Plasticine and the iPads.
Coronation Celebration
We are very excited about the King’s Coronation and have found out some interesting facts about him and the forthcoming coronation.
Yesterday in art the children in KS2 painted soldiers, a carriage and horses so that we could create a whole school picture to mark the King’s Coronation.
We used a photograph of it to make a card and have sent it with all our good wishes and signatures to the King.
Today we have had wonderful day too. Class One and Class Three worked together to plan, prepare and host a mock coronation ceremony. After choosing names out of a hat (thank you Joshua for the loan of your amazing hat!!) to find out who would be our King and Queen, they then got busy with preparing the tasty treats for the Coronation Tea Party…. baking cakes and biscuits then decorating them. Alongside this, the children learnt about King Charles and the key elements of a coronation, decorated commemorative pebbles (the children will bring these home soon!) and coloured in Union Jacks.
We culminated our day with a Coronation Ceremony, led by The Archbishop of Canterbury AKA S, to crown King A and Queen Z. Mrs Johnson, Miss White and Class Four were our honoured guests. Then we sat down to a sumptuous tea party complete with crown jam sandwiches, cucumber sandwiches, fairy cakes and crown biscuits!
Class One and Three worked so well together, it was a privilege to see! We hope you all enjoyed the day as much as we did and take away many happy memories that we have all created!
From Mrs Gentry, Mrs Sellers and Ms Arnold
Card Fit for a King
Well done to the winners of the Coronation card competition.
Thank you to those that entered the competition – we will be posting the cards off to Buckingham
Palace tomorrow with our congratulations and best wishes to King Charles.
Letter from Downing Street
At the end of last term Class 3 wrote letters of persuasion about plastic pollution to the Prime Minister. Last week, we sent our letters (we typed them up) to 10 Downing Street for the PM to read – thank you Mrs Jessop for your help with this!
Today we were all very proud and excited as we had a reply! We thought Mr Sunak would be much too busy to read each of our letters personally but we were still delighted to receive a response from a member of his correspondence team!
Well done Class 3 – you wrote such poignant letters about the problem of plastic pollution.
Cross Country
Well done to the boys in Year 3 and 4 who completed the cross country challenge yesterday evening at the Meres.
We are all very proud of you.
