This Girl Can

On Wednesday 23rd March our Year 5&6 football and hockey team attended a This Girl Can event at The Weald. The afternoon was focused on promoting girls and their skills in sport. Both teams played brilliantly and demonstrated good skills. They worked fantastically as a team and were not only supportive of each other but also of other schools. Both teams achieved second place. Congratulations to all the players, we are really proud of you.

Cross country club love a bit of mud but this week it was extra muddy! Not even Miss Hall could avoid it!

Ground's Day

Today we held our first Ground’s Day at school for over 2 years. All our children got involved with helping to tidy our grounds and plant bulbs and plants for the Spring. A massive thank you to Mrs Jesse and her amazing team of parent volunteers who have worked tirelessly in our Environmental Area and also to another of our families who have very donated the use of a skip. We can’t wait to see our Environmental area in full use again this Spring.

Our First Whole School Assembly since 20th March 2020

Tuesday 1st March was a very special day for us all at Plaistow and Kirdford Primary School. It was our first day back at school after Half Term and for the first time since 20th March 2020, our whole school were finally able to come together in the school hall for assembly. This was also the first time our Robin and Squirrel Classes had ever attended a full school assembly in the hall and we were really proud of how settled they were. Not only that, but Mr King told us all about Shrove Tuesday and Lent and then cooked some pancakes!

Farewell and Thank you

Today we had our final school assembly where we said thank you and farewell to Mrs Harrison. Mrs Harrison has worked at Plaistow and Kirdford Primary School for 11 years and we are all really going to miss her. In her time at Plaistow and Kirdford Primary school she has helped so many children and we thank her for all her dedication. We wish her well with at her new school, where we know she will be brilliant.

Christmas Lunch and Christmas Jumper Day

Today, our children were able the enjoy their Christmas Lunch with their class in the School Hall. We had 4 sittings to ensure we were Covid secure. All the children were able to pull a cracker with their friends - our thanks to PAKSA for providing the Christmas Crackers - there were lots of very silly jokes inside!

We were also raising money for Save the Children with our Christmas Jumper Day - thank you to all our families for their very kind donations.
