What an absolutely amazing May Fair we had this year! Despite the rain, it did not stop people joining in with the stalls, eating amazing cake and catching up with each other.

This event could absolutely not happen without our wonderful PTA, headed by the fabulous Mrs Keeley. We can not thank you enough for your hard work in making this event such a roaring success! The children were wonderful with their dancing, helping on certain stalls and there was an incredible community atmosphere. A key event which we look forward to every year. Thank you for supporting the school.

Whilst Acorns were at Forest School, the rest of the school met in the hall to take part in a Joe Wick's live workout. This was organised to promote physical activity and health in schools with over 1 million children taking part.

The children loved it!

Do have a look on YouTube at Joe's workout videos - Activate - which your children could enjoy at home.

Bluebells and Acorns were transported back to 1666 and the Great Fire of London. We had a wonderful day taking part in activities that would have taken place at the time: soap making, candle making, quill writing to name just a few. We learnt about the spread of the fire, the rats and how the fire was stopped. What a great day!

At the start of the week, Years 3, 4 and 5 welcomed a Tudor history workshop into school, giving children an exciting, hands-on way to explore this fascinating period.

The day began with an interactive timeline, helping children understand where the Tudors fit in history, followed by demonstrations where teachers were dressed as Tudor figures, bringing warfare and life at the time to life. Pupils also enjoyed a safe Tudor longbow demonstration and took part in activities exploring medieval jobs and the development of armour.

In the afternoon, children learned about Tudor home life, took part in a “skins and skulls” quiz, and explored Tudor medicine, including a memorable barber surgeon demonstration.

Overall, it was an engaging and enjoyable experience that helped bring the Tudor period to life and deepen pupils’ understanding.

There were squeals of delight coming from the school hall - and it wasn't just from CH school children! Younger siblings came for a play at our toddler play group (and adults even had a chance to have a cup of tea and a brownie!). Do keep an eye on the dates at the bottom of the newsletters for the next one.
