Remembrance Sunday
Fri 17 Nov 2023Remembrance Sunday
On Sunday 12th November 2023 Poppy, Georgia, Katie and Zoe took part in Trowbridge’s Remembrance parade, representing Trowbridge Sea Cadets.
The girls marched as part of the parade, attended the Remembrance Service at St. James’ Church, followed by the service at the War Memorial. The girls were amazing all morning and didn’t move a muscle when stood on parade at the war memorial. The cold and the rain didn’t phase them!
They have also given up some of their Saturday mornings recently to sell Poppies in Sainsburys.

Year 3 trip to Wagamamas
Fri 10 Nov 2023Year 3 trip to Wagamamas
This week Year 3 had an amazing opportunity to spend a whole morning at Wagamamas in Trowbridge. During their visit they learnt about some of the exotic and exciting ingredients which go into the Asian inspired food and fresh juices. It was wonderful to see the children’s faces as they sampled all these new foods and flavours - the Tropical Smoothie was a real hit! However, the seaweed and bamboo shoots had mixed reviews. They also began to master the art of using chop sticks and competed in a chop-stick challenge! The children then sat down to sample the full Wagamama dining experience with their own Wagamama kids main meal. On our return to school, Mrs Sessions asked the children about the trip and the first response was, “This was the best trip ever!”
We would like to thank Mr and Mrs Maziarz for organising this unique opportunity and all of the Wagamama team. They are doing this all again next week for our Year 4s!

Feast of the Solemnity of All Saints Mass
Fri 03 Nov 2023Feast of the Solemnity of All Saints Mass
On Wednesday morning the whole school - including our fantastic children in EYFS - joined the parishioners and Canon Tom to celebrate the Feast of the Solemnity of All Saints. It was a beautiful service were Canon Tom reflected on the uniqueness of each individual and how one day we could be saints! Thank you to the children in KS2 who supported us with reading and serving during the Mass and to the school choir who lead us so well in song. It was wonderful that so many parents and grandparents were able to join us too.
