East Anglian Air Ambulance
Our House groups chose the East Anglian Air Ambulance as their charity this term to have some fun whilst raising valuable funds for them. Within the House groups they had a Cake Sale, did a Sponsored Walk around the school field, guessed the number of Skittles in the Jar and also played Curly Wurly Bingo during their lunchtimes. They also made lemonade and squash, had a Toy Sale and a Balloon Raffle, lined 5pence peices up in the playground and also filled Smartie boxes with loose change. A fabulous amount of £1556.45 was raised for the charity and the children presented the cheque to one of the pilots, Mr Wray on Tuesday.

Our Early Years Classes, Rabbit and Hedgehog had fun last week with their parents and carers taking part in various Sporting Activities.

We also had the tennis sets out, played Snakes and Ladders and did some speed stacking. The children also did some sports based word searches and colouring. A busy morning was had by all.
