• Author and Playwright visits our school - Chris Connaughton

  Wed 26 Apr 2023

  We've had a fantastic session with Chris. He has helped us to become storytellers. We started the day together and Chris told us a story about a king and a storyteller. The children were absolutely mesmerised. Chris told us how to engage the listener by using different voices and expression. Chris went around to all of the classes throughout the day encouraging amazing story telling amongst the children. In Trendle he told them a story about a Cobbler who wanted to be the most important thing. He became a king, the sun, a rain cloud, a raging river, a mountain and then finally a cobbler again!
  In all of the classes he played a game called WAVE - W = WAY OF WALKING, A = ACTION, V = VOICES , E = EXPRESSION
  This game helps us to become animated storytellers.
  He also played the Spotlight game. This helps us to share our ideas.
  Chris explained how all of these techniques help us to become really successful storytellers.
  We will definitely invite him back again. Thank you to FOCAS who helped us pay for him and thank you Chris for a fabulous day.

  

• Our Easter Bonnet Parade

  Mon 03 Apr 2023

  On the last day of term we had an Easter Bonnet parade. Unfortunately, because of the rain we didn't walk very far. Jonathan, our vicar, judged the hats and the winners were announced in the village. The winners had a book token and the runners an Easter egg. However EVERBODY, had made a lovely hat and so everyone had an Easter egg to take home thank you to FOCAS (our parent teacher association).

  HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE
