Friday 16^th December

Home Learning

Seeing as this is the last Friday before the Christmas break, there is no home learning for you to do this weekend (or in the 2 weeks after that). I do however have a surprise for you all on Tuesday that I hope will test your brains (hopefully in a fun way) whilst you’re enjoying your well-deserved rest.

What we have done this week

This week has been jam packed with rehearsals, performances, the circus (which was brilliant) and Christmas dinner, as well as much else on top of all this. On Monday morning we went straight to the village hall where we did a full run through of Key Stage 2’s Christmas performance. This was our last rehearsal before the dress rehearsal and so it was a case of putting the finishing touches to everybody’s hard work.

Tuesday was our whole school trip to the circus. We went to the Hippodrome in Great Yarmouth to see their ‘Christmas Spectacular’ and it definitely lived up to its name. There were acrobats (on the ground, up high and in water), dancers, comedy acts and a motorcycle act that had to be seen to be believed.

Wednesday was dress rehearsal day where we got to see everybody’s fantastic costumes for the first time. It also allowed us in Key Stage 2 to watch Key Stage 1 and Reception’s Christmas performance for the first time, which was great fun. It was then onto Thursday and Christmas performance day. It was a long day but I’m sure everyone who saw any of the performances will tell you how well both Key Stage 1, 2 and Reception did and how worthwhile this made all of their hard work.

Friday meant Christmas lunch at Wenhaston Primary School. The pictures in this week’s blog show Class 3 making their Christmas hats ready for the lunch. It was really nice to see the whole school eating lunch, pulling crackers, telling jokes and singing songs all together.
