PC Sam, our local PCSO, visited us this week with his police car! Our younger pupils, from Nursery to Year 3, had a session with PC Sam and were even able to sit in the car turn on the lights! PC Sam is building a relationship with our pupils to develop a positive view of our local community team, who are there as a positive force to help and to keep us feeling safe by being around us in our community. 

Joe Carr from The Red House, Aldeburgh (the home of Britten and Pears) visited pupils from our music clubs to teach two music workshops. The workshops included opportunities for singing, listening, song writing, problem solving and looking at musical artefacts - a fantastic wider musical experience for our pupils who are passionate about music! 

Our amazing Year 6 pupils have spent time, during their Easter holidays, raising money for their leavers' celebrations at the end of the year. These are just few examples of the fantastic activities they have taken part in. Many thanks to all families and friends who have sponsored them!

This month has seen the return of our Spring Eggtastic competition, run by Mrs Cray and Mrs Krzywanska, our art and DT leaders. We have had an incredible 201 entries and the whole school community have loved admiring each other's work; none of us have envied the judges difficult decisions! Thank you to all who entered.

Artists Lily Hammond, from Uwu Studios, visited Years 3 and 6 for a design masterclass! Lily shared her experiences as an artist and what it is like to set up your own studio. The pupils were inspired by her story and her work and created their own pieces as part of the workshop. 

Miss Stannard and Miss Turpin took a group of pupils, who do gymnastics training outside of school, to a school gymnastics competition at Hadleigh Allstars. 

Our Years 1/2 team achieved Gold & Silver, Years 3/4 got Silver and Years 5/6 got 2nd on floor. The children were beaming from ear to ear; a very worthwhile competition to attend and the biggest thing was the fact we had representatives from every year group at one competition, it truly was a great morning! 

Mrs Lesslie and the children in singing club recorded a song for the local 'Operation Santa' charity.  They won joint first prize for their efforts and featured on Suffolk Sound on Saturday 7th December. The charity kindly put together a Youtube slideshow of Christmas images to accompany the children's singing.  We would like to share this with you to wish you a very Happy Christmas from everyone at Britannia.
