Spring Has Sprung: Highlights from the End of Term

As we reached the end of March and headed into the Easter break, it has been a wonderfully busy and exciting time for the children.

We were delighted to welcome mothers and special family members into school to celebrate Mother’s Day. The children had been working hard to prepare for the occasion, learning songs to perform and creating thoughtful cards. It was a lovely event, filled with smiles, as families enjoyed the performances together and shared beautifully decorated cakes made by the children.

Shortly after, we marked Red Nose Day with great enthusiasm. The children came to school wearing something red and helped raise money for charity through their donations. It was fantastic to see everyone getting involved for such an important cause while having lots of fun along the way.

A real highlight of the term was our school trip to Hampton Court. The children thoroughly enjoyed stepping back in time to learn about the Tudors, particularly how they entertained themselves. Since returning to school, they have continued to explore their learning through imaginative role play, bringing history to life in the classroom.

On the last day of term, we took part in one of our much-loved school traditions: Egg rolling. The children carefully decorated their eggs before rolling them down our famously steep drive to see whose would travel the furthest! There was great excitement and plenty of cheering, along with prizes awarded for the most creative designs.

Over the Easter holidays, our wonderful parent community organised an Easter trail and cake sale on Holmbury Hill. The event was a great success, raising over £800 for the Peaslake Schools Trust. We are incredibly grateful for the time and effort that went into organising such a fantastic fundraiser.

With spring now in full swing, it has been lovely to see brighter days and signs of new life all around us. We are looking forward to an exciting and busy summer term ahead.
