Sports Day We were able to enjoy a sunny sports day on Tuesday 22nd June with our family members. The PTFA sold cakes and refreshments and bought ice pops for the children to cool down with, after their many events. Year Six Leavers Although the visit to St Briavel’s Castle was cancelled by the Youth Hostel, we were able to organise two days of activities on 8th and 9th June. The children spent a day at The Oxley

Centre, where they experienced climbing, kayaking and hamster balling on the swimming pool. The following day, they travelled to Weymouth for a day of sailing. This culminated in a camp out on the school field with a water slide and an inflatable assault course. A fish and chip supper was the perfect end to a perfect day. Art Gallery During the week of 12th July, the children proudly displayed their varied works of art in our very own art gallery. The preview
session was held on 12th July between 6.00 and 7.30 pm and we were joined by Chris Loder MP, who was very pleased to be invited to admire the work of the children in his constituency. Parents and family members were asked to come and view the gallery and appreciate the high quality of art work produced by their children. A huge ‘thank you’ to Heather Mitchell who organised the gallery and shared her expertise with our children.
