Fri 27 May 2022

The children had a wonderful day celebrating the Platinum Jubilee. They decorating crowns to wear to a party and made bunting for the playground. They were joined in the afternoon by two special quests: an amazing mannequin of the queen and the Shepton Mallet Town Crier. The children were presented with commemorative coins by the Town Crier and then listened to songs performed by the school choir. They continued to celebrate with cakes on the field. Children also took part in a competition to design a commemorative plate for the celebration and winners will be announced on return to school in June! Well done to everyone for taking part and for dressing up in red, white and blue to celebrate together!

Community Project

Wed 25 May 2022

Today saw the completion of a project to make a difference to the local community. As part of the '374 Ways to Change the World' project the children have worked with an artist to create a picture for Field House Care Home. The children wanted to continue their links with the residents following the 'Happiness Hunt' activities that have taken place since 2020. Today the children were shown the completed artwork which has been framed to present to the residents. The choir attended Field House Care Home to sing for the residents and also to present them with the picture which will be hung in the dining area for all to see. The children had a wonderful visit and enjoyed singing and speaking to the residents. Many residents reported that they loved the singing and would like more visits from the children in the future which we are certain can be accommodated!

Whispering Willows Performance and Workshop

Wed 11 May 2022

The children really enjoyed the theatre performance of 'Wandering Willows'. The performance was made more special because it was performed on Somerset Day and involved a story about friendship, caring, helping each other, co-operation and empathy, including mime and live artwork. The Year 2 children then took part in a willow weaving workshop where they made crowns out of willow and then did some drama activities. We are fortunate that these experiences have been provided for the children and supported by 'Make the Sunshine' through the project '374 ways to change the world'.
