END OF TERM activities included a dance day for Year 5. This was organised by Circle Schools, all local schools who feed into Bottisham VC. Workshops on jiving, the Salsa, Samba, Flamenco, Egyptian and African dance as well as Cirobonese (Javan) were on offer to the children. It was a brilliant day and on their return to school, children remained enthusiastic as they shared their new skills with others.
Year 3 also had their own Circle Schools' event - an African day. This was based at the College and included printing, necklace making, mask making and working with clay.
Year 2s had their own multi sports day, also hosted at the College. This was quickly followed by our own sports day in which our "octathletes" competed against each other in four teams; the biggest challenge was beating the rain.
As we have come to the end of another academic year, we have said goodbye and wished good luck to the 17 children who will be moving on to secondary school in September. As they reflected on their time at primary school, here are some of their comments about the school, "It is small and cosy (at SP) and I know everyone's name off by heart", "It has fun lessons", "The smart board has helped me learn". Children said they were looking forward to the challenges of Y7, more sport (including cross country) and doing experiments!
As is the cyclical nature of school life, we welcome in our new reception children. The children have already had five visits, one of which included a mini beast picnic, and so when September 5th comes round, they will be helped to feel ready for their first day at big school.
Once again, a big thank you to all members of the community who passed on their supermarket tokens. In total two digital cameras, two movie makers and a host of playground equipment has been "bought" with the tokens.
Last month I mentioned Class 4's residential tip and now enclose a photo of one of their activities.
