The Swaffham Crier Online

School News

As we near completion of the academic year, this term is one of the school's busiest, a time for looking ahead and moving on for some and a time when we begin to welcome new children into the school.

As I am new myself, I am still being introduced to many traditions, the loveliest so far being the Maypole dancing. Year five and six did incredibly well at their opening of the Reach Fair, accompanied by Cocky Fruit Tail and the Bad Bad Shepherds (thank you Mr Noyes and Co., but I'm sure you will regret that name).

The following week, the performance was repeated by a slightly different make up of children at the Swaffham Feast. The Maypole will also be featuring at our Summer Fair, where perhaps the adults will get to have a go.

We have just had a pond tidy so that the children will be able to pond dip and investigate the surrounding wild habitats. We have other areas to spruce up, so if any one has any plants or cuttings which they could donate to the school please bring them along at any time.

We are making the most of the better weather with sketching and games club, football and cricket, as well as starting the swimming season.
