While snow has been cleared and main paths are salted, please do be especially careful around the site. When dropping off this morning, please do not overtake and be patient as everything will take a little longer. Registers will remain open later, as will all the gates to the school. This should ease congestion and allow everyone to be really careful on their journey. Parents should always use their own judgement as to whether it is safe to travel.

Part of Councillor Haywood's role is to look after libraries and adult learning. Miss Worsley has organised a series of English and Maths GCSE courses, as well as sessions for teaching parents how schools teach Maths to their children. The courses have run over the last three years in conjunction with our friends at Hertfordshire Adult & Family Learning Service. Councillor Haywood was keen to see the sessions in action.

The year 6 children read out the narratives superbly and also all sang amazing solos in ‘White Christmas’ and ‘Feed the World’.

We had our lunch there, got put in groups and started. We started at different activities and moved around the safety centre. The activities were very different from each other and sometimes got us quite confused. Everything was very realistic! There were loads of activities from 11am till 4pm. Here are some activities we did: recovery position,safety on the farm, fire in a house, dangers in an alley way and petrol station.

We all had to come to school dressed up in either rich or poor Victorian clothing. During Victorian Day, we were learnt a play called Squire Horton's Village. Richard York brought in a puppet called Major Horton, who was the owner of the village. When we had finished practising our play, all of Year 5 parents came to watch our play.

It was almost a game of name that tune with all the Disney favourites from films such as Hercules, Pirates of the Caribbean and Chicken Run. Elissa, Eleanor M, Olivia and Victoria performed ‘Walking in the Air’ beautifully, and Macy, accompanied by Elissa on the piano, sang an amazing version of Adele’s ‘Someone like you’. Read on...
