Fri 20 Jan 2023Class 2 Visit to Trowbridge Museum - Friday 20th January 2023
This morning, the children in Class 2 visited Trowbridge Museum. We had a wonderful time taking part in three workshops led by staff and volunteers at the museum. The children had an opportunity to explore the museum and complete a trail. They got to see amazing views of Trowbridge town through binoculars, which gave them an opportunity to explore buildings that are old and new in Trowbridge. Finally, they looked closely at clothing from the past and even had an opportunity to try things on! The children really enjoyed their time at the museum.

KS1 Crib Reflection
Fri 06 Jan 2023KS1 Crib Reflection
At the end of term, KS1 children created a wonderful Crib Reflection and Carol Concert on Wednesday 14th December in St John the Baptist Church.
They each sang with such joy and were keen to share their understanding of the birth of baby Jesus. The Year 2 children read beautifully and were confident in their knowledge of the impact scripture can have on our lives.
We are so grateful to the parents and families who joined our celebration - the church was full! It was wonderful to see you all and your contribution to our Emmaus Water Pump collection gathered £125.00 - so thank you so very much.
