Remembrance
Thank you to all who
joined us in the
Abbey for our
service, it was lovely
to be able to join
together on this special
day and remember the
fallen. Year 6, accompanied by
Mrs Burbidge, attended the 2
minute silence in the memorial
Park. Even in pouring rain they
showed their respect while
remembering the soldiers from
Romsey. The Poppy Appeal this
year raised £30.89
Year R Pyjama Party!
The reception children have
been working so hard to fill their
marble jar for their amazing work
and fabulous behaviour and last
week they did it! The children
chose to have a party in their
pyjamas and we had yummy
cakes baked using the school
chicken eggs and did lots of
fantastic dancing! Everyone had
a lovely time and now we are
filling up our marble jar again
ready for our next treat!
