Congratulations to all the children that took part in the Basketball tournament at Huish Academy earlier this week. We were thrilled to hear that "Team A" won. They proudly brought back a shield trophy which is on display in the School Hall. 

A fantastic achievement. Thank you to all who supported at the event. We will get the trophy engraved and then post a picture on here for all to see. 

Rugby News!

Well done boys! Following 5 weeks of grass-roots  Tag Rugby training with Helen Sheerman, from Somerton RFC, a group of our children attended the evening Tag Rugby Festival. They all had a wonderful time and enjoyed the experience. Thank you to the parents who took them and supported the event. 

On behalf of the school, thank you so much to Helen for coaching our children and hosting such a wonderful event. 

What an amazing afternoon we have had! Unicorn Class performed their Nativity,  Whoops-a-Daisy-Angel, at Othery Village Hall.  They were just phenomenal and spoke, sang and acted with such enthusiasm.  All the staff are immensly proud of all the children. 

Huge thank you to all the parents and grandparents for supporting the event and for helping with the costumes. 

Our amazing PTA provided refreshments and the annual raffle was drawn after the production.

Well done to the Unicorn Class team of Mrs Silver, Mrs Greedy, Mrs Hale and Miss Lester. We loved it! 

 

On behalf of the staff and children, thank you for all your donations to support this year's Children in Need appeal. We set a school target of £40 and raised an incredible £71. 

This morning, the whole school took part in a 2 minute silence to honour and remember those who lost their lives in World War 1 and the conflicts that have followed.

The children have been learning about Remembrance Day and have created wreaths which will be laid at the service being held at St. Michael's Church. Once again, all our children showed respect and stood silently throughout. Unicorn class then stood their poppies in the flowerbed, next to the cascade of nearly 400 poppies kindly crocheted by Clare Rossiter and donated to our school. 

Today, we have been lucky enough to welcome Paralympic Footballer Giles Moore into school. Giles spoke to the children in assembly about his journey from being in Primary School to travelling around the world playing football for England. Such an inspiring story that I am sure the children will be able to share with you. 

Giles has joined Mr Hughes for everyone's PE lesson today where they are having a special focus day linked to Football skills.
