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. (Ruby: Osprey Class)

I have known Mrs Farrer for many years and she is always so nice to me. (Bailey: Hawk Class) It was great meeting Mrs Farrer this year, she made me feel so welcome when I arrived at the school. (Rupert: Kite Class) Mrs Farrer is really funny and plays with us at lunch time. (Swift Class) Mrs Farrer always claps when we sing, always smiling and making us feel happy and confident. (Ellie: Kestrel Class) My favourite memory of Mrs Farrer this year was her being helpful in the dinner hall. (Jamie: Kite Class) Every afternoon she does very good cleaning. (Dexter: Puffin Class)

Miss Hill has been at Meldreth Primary School for four years, working with Year 6. Her knowledge of books, her work in the library, her amazing teaching and her enthusiasm throughout the school will be missed and we wish her all the luck in her new school. Here are some of the memories the children shared of Miss Hill during her time at Meldreth Primary School: I loved helping Miss Hill in the library, she let us sort out the books, it was really fun! (Matilda: Kite Class) Miss Hill organised for us to get pizza, it was good! (Julia: Hawk Class) Miss Hill gave me my own table to help me focus, it really helped and I really appreciate it. (Bailey: Hawk Class) We have loved her stories during Thursday assemblies. (Swift Class) My favourite memory of Miss Hill is when she made us laugh, especially during assembly. (Evie: Osprey Class) Miss Hill was so kind during the Year 5 and 6 performance and helped them with their lines. (Isla: Kite Class) Miss Hill used to run art club, it was so much fun! (Maisie: Kestrel Class) She really made me feel calm before SATs. (Evie: Hawk Class) Meldreth Primary School
