Meldreth Matters, August 2022

Meldreth Primary School www.meldreth.cambs.sch.uk What a fantastic year we have had at Meldreth Primary School. After two inconsistent years, it has been nice to get back to normality; inviting parents back into school and enjoying whole school events, as well as enjoying trips out. Throughout this summer term, we have had our usual swimming lessons in our amazing new pool, trips to an Anglo -Saxon village, to Pizza Express and the zoo, as well as our annual sports day. It has been full of fun. Here are some things that children in the school have said about their year and what they have enjoyed: I loved the zoo! (McKenzie: Osprey Class) We LOVED the rollercoaster at the Isle of Wight! (Hawk Class) We have loved swimming in the swimming pool and really enjoyed football club and all the other clubs after school. (Swift Class) My favourite part of this year was going to Grafham with Year 5, we had so much fun! (Olly: Kite Class) I have loved doing lots of craft activities this year. (Adele: Puffin Class) I have loved making story books. (Amelie: Kite Class) My favourite memory this year was getting a train into Cambridge, it was so much fun! (Gregory: Osprey Class) We loved taking part in the enterprise challenge, we learnt a lot! (Evie: Hawk Class) I have loved doing all the Science experiments this year, they were so exciting! (Esmee: Kite Class) Although an exciting time and a good opportunity to reflect on what a great year it has been, we are sadly saying goodbye to two amazing staff members this school year, Mrs Maggie Farrer and Miss Natasha Hill.

Mrs Farrer has been at Meldreth for many years and is the heart of the school. No job is too big for her and she is always so supportive of the staff and children; she will be greatly missed as she retires. Here are some memories the children shared of Mrs Farrer during her time at Meldreth Primary School: Mrs Farrer is always so kind and helps us clean up at lunch time, she is so helpful.
