Unfortunately we have recently struggled to connect with our blog. I think we have resolved all the issues now and should be able to keep you updated about all that happens at school after the half-term holiday.

The weather was freezing but the sun was shining – a lovely day for a run!  Upper School’s cross country event has been lucky enough to have good weather for many years now and today was no exception.

Years 5 and 6 were set two laps of the field and Years 3 and 4 one lap (although if they chose they could go on to complete a second lap).  All the children were aiming to gain points for their house with penalties for walking, or extra points for more than their required distance.

Mr Brice was at the start and finish line, Mr Thanki, Mrs Radulovic and Mr Cann were around the course to encourage and when it was all over there was hot chocolate and Mars bars in the clubhouse, before changing and returning to school.

Who won?  We are still awaiting the official results from Mr Brice so watch this space!

Kindergarten have been enjoying a whole range of learning activities centred around their theme of Cold Capers! Soon they move to warmer climes for their next topic, Jungly Jumble.
