We had lovely weather for our sports day this year, which the children thoroughly enjoyed. After spending the morning completing different sporting events to win prizes for our house, we walked down to the village field to complete in the races. The parents cheered on as the children took part in the sprint, egg and spoon, piggies in blankets and space hopper races. Attenborough house were thrilled to have won the sports day trophy this year having collected the most points for their team throughout the day.  

The whole school spent a lovely day celebrating the Queen's Platinum Jubilee on the school field with our families. All children and teachers came into school dressed in the clothing of one of the decades of the Queen's reign. After eating fish and chips and ice-cream for lunch, each class performed a maypole dance. The children entered cakes into the Jubilee cake baking competition which were judged with prizes handed out. We showed parents our Jubilee art work and time-line which was then displayed in Dennington Church during the Jubilee weekend.  

Swallows had a very special trip to London this year. We went on the train to Liverpool Street and then the tube to the British Museum, where we had a fascinating time looking at the Ancient Greek artefacts there. We had a lovely wander around London, including cooling off at Trafalgar Square and the all important McDonald's! The absolute highlight was seeing the show "Matilda" at the theatre - we were blown away by the performance! The children were superbly behaved and were all had an amazing day and a very late night! 

Well done to everyone. You all played so well winning bronze medals in the Tag Rugby tournament held at Thomas Mills High School.

To raise money for Children in Need we came to school dressed in spots and brought in lots of coins to cover our big Pudsey Bear.
