Year 4 travelled on their holy journey around Clewer this week. Our Leavers' Pilgrimage, led by Reverend Rosie, offers our children a lovely opportunity to learn about the local area and to reflect on the time they have spent at our school. The helpful allotmenteers showed us around the Clewer Fuel Allotments, sharing its history and the charitable work that the members to look after people in need in our community. We also spent time continuing to think about creation, growth,  and where our homes are as we continued on to the Pirate Park and Reverend Rosie's house. Our final stop will be on Monday at 6pm as we end our journey at St Andrew's Church for our Leavers' Service which is always a very special time for both pupils and the staff who have taught them.

Year 3 showed the school what we have been doing this year to make our school ‘wilder’. This is important to improve biodiversity, whilst helping children develop a lasting connection with nature and in turn ensure nature is valued and protected into the future. We took part in the RSB birdwatch, did lots of planting, made habitats to encourage creatures into the school grounds, put aside a no mow area, and finally visited Woolley Furs as part of our science learning. The children shared all their achievements with the rest of the school in a special assembly, as well as thanking parent volunteers without whom this would not be possible. We have had a great year learning about bringing nature into our school.

The weather was finally kind to us, and we were able to hold our annual Sports Day. The children took part in a range of activities around the field, accumulating points for their House. Congratulations to Leeds House who had achieved the greatest number of points. The running races, are as always such a joy to watch, and it is lovely to see such sportmanship bewtween the children as they cheer each other on.
