As we come to the end of the autumn term at Somersham Primary School, I want to take this opportunity to extend a heartfelt thank you for your continued support and engagement. Your encouragement and involvement play a vital role in making our school the nurturing and inspiring place it is.
 

It has been a privilege to work alongside our ACE children, who often impress us with their enthusiasm, creativity, and commitment to our school's values.

 

This term, we were thrilled to introduce our new "ACE of the Term" awards, which celebrate the winners’ outstanding achievements and progress. Among these is the Olympic and Paralympic Values Award, a new addition that aligns beautifully with our ACE values, promoting determination, respect, and excellence in all that we do. These awards highlight the exceptional qualities this term’s winners have displayed daily, and I am delighted to celebrate their success together.

 

Looking ahead to the new year, we have some exciting plans to look forward to. One of the highlights will be a visit from wildlife conservationists from the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation (DSWF). They will be hosting interactive talks and workshops, inspiring our pupils with their important work in conservation. This visit ties into our involvement with the DSWF's annual international children's art competition, with the children creating their own artworks for the global competition this past week. This year, the theme is "Coexistence," a perfect complement to the work we've been exploring this term on sustainability, recycling, and addressing the critical issues around plastic pollution.

 

Thank you once again for being such a vital part of our school community. Your support is invaluable as we strive to provide the best possible opportunities for our children.

 

We wish you and your families a restful and joyous holiday season and we look forward to welcoming everyone back for another exciting term in the New Year.
