• 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'

  Fri 15 Jul 2022 Mrs Oldfield

  WOW!  What an amazing production we were all treated to on Friday - acting, singing, dancing and comedy! The cast soldiered on through a few technical problems and background noise, but they showed themselves to be truly professional - well done to all of them and a big thank you to the staff in KS2, especially Miss Pearson, without whom it would not have been possible.

  

• HEDGEHOGS VILLAGE WALK

  Fri 15 Jul 2022 Albie and Skye

  On Wednesday we took a trip around Somersham village to look around its key features. We spotted the Somersham sign, the telephone box and a bus stop. We also ventured in the fields and the woods that surround Somersham. Albie enjoyed hiking in the forest and collecting nature for clay printing. Skye enjoyed  racing down Rabbit Hill together as a class and playing in the village play park. 

  

• FOXES AND OTTERS AT THE ZOO

  Wed 13 Jul 2022 Miss Crush

  Otters and Foxes had a wonderful day at the zoo to conclude our 'Amazing Africa' topic. They were ACE learners; reading facts, asking questions and observing the animals closely. We got to see a range of African animals as well as a few more weird and wonderful creatures from around the world. We travelled on the train and walked through the lemur enclosure hoping to meet some furry friends! Children also spotted similarities to the Ndebele art we had learnt about. The children represented Somersham School perfectly and we were very proud of them. Here are a few thoughts they had about the day. 

   

  " I like how the lion got so close up to us." 

   

   "I liked it when we went in where we could see the python underwater. The giraffe was really smelly." 

   

  "I enjoyed seeing the Burmese python because it was the biggest snake I saw in my life.We saw the lion and that was one of the most fierce African animals." 

   

  "I liked the giraffes because I liked their spots."

  

• 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'

  Fri 08 Jul 2022 Mrs Oldfield

  We are all really looking forward to the performance of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' on Friday 15th July at 3.30pm.  This is taking place on the school field and it looks as though we could be in luck with the weather. Please bring your own chairs and blankets to sit on and your own refreshments as there will not be an interval during the performance and drinks will not be available. 

• TOGETHER WE ARE ACE!

  Fri 08 Jul 2022 Mrs Oldfield

  We are very proud of our new wall display which you are able to see on the wall above the bench in the parent's waiting area of the playground.  During the pandemic every child painted a ceramic tile and these have been framed and made into this wonderful, colourful piece of art.  It represents our happy school and how when we 'live in unity - together we are 'ACE'!
