Recently our whole school joined together for a Remembrance Assembly. Mr McCambley led the assembly, highlighting the importance of the Poppy, explaining to the children how the leaf of the poppy should always be set at the 11 o'clock position. This is to remind us of the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month when the armistice was signed. The children participated in the assembly and carried out the act of remembrance to remember those who died.

P5 Mrs Peacocke’s class have had great fun this week preparing for their Egyptian Assembly. They have loved being on stage and performed so well in front of the school in their Assembly. Mrs Peacocke is very proud of all of her pupils and would like to thank the children and their parents for the time and effort that has been put in to learning their words and providing their costumes. They brought the school right back to 1279BC and acted out a sketch showing what life would have been like in Egypt. They ended the Assembly with a beautiful song ‘Thank You Lord.’ We hope you enjoy the photos.
