May Day Fun
The Brighton Morris Dancers along with the Cuckoo Nest dancers joined us yesterday to celebrate May Day. They arrived with bells jangling and danced and sang for us all. As always it was brilliant and we had great fun especially those children who were taught a dance and performed it for us sticks and all!
Super Star DJ
Nick Hollywood a DJ who specialises in 1950s music brought his record collection along for a session with years 5 and 6 last Monday. The children found out about old fashioned vinyl records and how they were made, they listened to music and had a little jive too.
Victorian Classroom
Years 3 and 4 experienced life as a Victorian school child this week. They found out how strict and formal school life was during that time. Luckily they all avoided (only just) having the cane!
Children’s Parade

Friday Morning Sing-a-long
Do come along and join us on a Friday morning in the hall for a sing-a-long. Mr Brazil and I are there with songs to sing from 8.35 till 8.45. We have a few parents and children who regularly join us but we would love more of you to come along. You don’t need to have any singing skills to join us. It’s all just for fun and of course it’s very good for you releasing all those lovely endorphins into your body!

School Nurse Drop In
Our school nurse; Sarah will be running drop in sessions on Friday 9th May from 8.30. If you have any little niggling issue like head lice, bed wetting etc you would like to discuss just ‘drop in’ on the day. The school nurse can advise you on a variety of health and wellbeing issues so do make use of the drop in session on offer.
Lost
On Tuesday Lolly from year 4 left her jumper in the main playground. Her jumper was in a pile with other jumpers. Lolly’s jumper has disappeared. The jumper is grey with a hood and no pockets. It has a picture of a Moshi monster on the front and the words; ‘MOSHI MOSHI MOSHI’. Lolly tells me this is her favourite jumper and it has her name inside I believe. Please check your clothing at home if you come across the jumper please return to the school office or to Lolly.
