The children were awarded a small bar of chocolate if they had read 4 times for the majority of weeks throughout the term. For those pupils who had read more than 4 times across the majority of the weeks, recieved a large bar of chocolate.
As you can guess the children were all extremely excited.

On 15th October we held a non uniform day where eachchild paid a £1. We sold cakes and loom bands in order to raise money to support the development of a new pre-school in Kosovo. Mrs Whetham is kindly taking the large amounts of shoes that were kindly donated out to Kosovo for the families in need.
Class 3 Visit to Braeside
Braeside is an old house in Devizes, with lovely grounds, where Years 4, 5 & 6 spent 3 days. We had lots of fun, with visits to Avebury, West Kennet Long Barrow and a nearby farm, along with lots of other activities. Our favourite things were: petting the baby goats, milking a plastic cow, building fires and toasting marshmallows, trying to balance a whole team of people on a wobble-board, and wobbling about in the canoes. We worked well in teams, and just enjoyed being away with our friends.
