ABBOTS GREEN Community Primary School It’s been another fabulous month at Abbots Green with children across the school taking part in many more memorable activities. Year 4 children had a successful residential visit to Kingswood, Norfolk. For the majority this was the first time that these children had stayed away from home without their parents, and that alone was a huge step. Fortunately the weather was extremely kind to all for the duration of the visit and the two days of activities proved to be both fun and challenging – resulting in a lot of sleepy children on the coach on the way home! Today our entire Key Stage 2 children (and staff) have arrived at school dressed as Ancient Greeks to support the children’s learning as part of this term’s project - “Faster, Higher, Stronger.” During the day the children will be taking part in a variety of activities including: food

tasting, Greek architecture modelling, Greek writing and battle-scene silhouettes. Early Years children have their parents in school this morning to work together on Olympic outdoor activities including javelin, races and parachute games and indoor activities of clay medal making, creating Olympic bunting and treasure hunts. All supporting our current project. The school clubs are in full swing this term with a range of activities being offered to children across the school – including French, Spanish, Hockey, Art, Craft, Gardening, Choir, Performing Arts and Knitting! Our Eco-Committee also undertook a very special mission with Suffolk Housing and have visited their new premises on Skyliner Way to give their own views and ideas on the best use of their woodland area. As always there is a real buzz of activity about the school!
