Fri 26 Apr 2024It has been another eventful week here at school, with our pupils fully engaged in various activities and learning experiences.
One highlight of the week was Year 5's residential trip to Call of the Wild. The children enjoyed exploring the great outdoors and building lasting memories.
We also celebrated Earth Day and St. George's Day, engaging our pupils in important discussions about environmental conservation and cultural traditions.
In academic news, Year 5 participated in a collaboration debating competition, making us proud by securing third place. The dedication and teamwork displayed by our pupils are truly commendable.
On a lighter note, our Year 1 pupils had an exciting adventure in London, including a visit to the iconic Tower of London. It's wonderful to see our young learners exploring and experiencing new things.

I do hope that you have had a wonderful Easter break and that you had a lovely time with family and friends. This term is a 6-week term and ends on Friday 24th May at 13:00. There will be no clubs on this day.
Friday clubs will start next week, Friday 26th April and the list of new clubs will come out to you via email on Monday. Friday clubs are not compulsory, but if you do sign your child up for a club, they must attend this weekly.
A slight update regarding Chiseldon Primary School joining the Brunel Multi-Academy Trust. Our application is going before the regional directors' office next week. Once I have received confirmation of their decision, I will, of course, update all parents/carers.

World Penguin Day
Another fun-packed week at school. We have been sent a Summer Term calendar of special days - some of these are great and we are thinking about celebrating them. We do not want to put pressure on dressing up, but if the children do want to, then that would be fine. Days include World Penguin Day, International Harry Potter Day, World Laughter Day, VE Day, and National Leprechaun Day to name a few. I will send out all the dates in an email so that you can decide which ones you would like to celebrate.
I hope that you have a fabulous weekend.
