Easter Service

It was lovely to see so many of you here this afternoon to attend our Easter Service, led by Year 6. As usual, the children’w singing was outstanding and the service was delivered with poise and maturity by the Year 6 children. We also enjoyed the opportunity beforehand to welcome parents to the Year 6 classroom in our newly named Larks building, to have a cup of tea and look in detail at the new mural decorating the walls of Larks.

Happy Easter!

Mysterious rabbit shaped footprints began to appear all over the building throughout the week and excitement mounted until Friday morning, when the Easter Bunnies appeared in each of the classrooms to lead each class on a hunt for Easter eggs. The Bunnies were clearly mathematically able, ensuring that there were exactly the right number of eggs for each child in the school! The younger children, with shining eyes, thoroughly enjoyed their Easter Egg Hunt!

We are very proud of the efforts of Heidi, Charlotte, Ed H and Jack, who took part in a maths competition aimed at Year 9 (ages 13-14) children. They managed to beat 4 senior school teams to come 25th out of 29 teams – what a great effort!

Our Bristol Mural

The children have been busy this week contributing to the mural in the corridor of the new building. We can now see hot air balloons, Concorde, the Matthew and SS Great Britain, the suspension bridge and several other iconic Bristol landmarks taking shape on the walls. It has been great fun and looks terrific! Our thanks go to the PTA for funding the mural.

Congratulations to our netball players, who won all of their matches to win the tournament held at Red Maids’ last Monday. They followed this with another victory in their match against Torwood House two days later. Well done, girls!

Musical Talent

Lesley Barton — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 12:18:43 +0000

We started the week with a fantastic showcase from the children who are learning guitar, drums or recorder. The standard of playing was excellent and the children’s enjoyment in playing and performing in front of an audience of their peers, staff and parents was clear to see. We have some great talent in every year group!
