Updates from Mrs Norden

This week has been extremely busy across the school with varied ventures.  Mrs Cowburn's art club contributed to St Andrew's advent fair by creating beautiful hangings for the church, KS2 runners went to Wimpole for the South Cambridgeshire Sports Partnerships' cross country event and Yr5/6 visited Duxford Imperial War Museum as part of their topic work this term.  

Despite the cold weather the children enjoyed their outside adventures, and you can use the links below to find out more - hopefully my administrative and technical skills have been upgraded since last week's efforts.

We have two weeks left of term and these will also be busy with several events for children across the school as we celebrate the festive season.  As Covid numbers are significant in the local area, we ask that you continue to be vigilant and cautious when children are displaying symptoms, or household members test positive, in order that we can all enjoy these events, and stay healthy for the Christmas holiday period.  Please see the link to the LA guidance poster below.

Please use the diary dates, information in our newsletters and separate emails for specific year groups for details to guide you in any organisational matters linked to the events over the next two weeks.
