Growing In Faith and Learning
It has been very busy in school this week, with Celebration Assemblies for Owls, Kestrels and Falcons. The children enjoyed the opportunity to show their Bangra dances and some of their work to their parents/carers. See previous news item for details of the awards given.
On Wednesday the Reception children enjoyed a morning at Polesworth Abbey where they took part in the 'Living Nativity' story.
Thursday was 'Dress as an elf' day and the children looked fantastic in their costumes. They even had a special visit from Santa and all received a present. In the afternoon it was great to welcome parents, carers and grandparents into school for our carol-sing-a-long on the playground.
Our Talent Show was a great success and proves once again that St Leonards School really does have talent. The children especially enjoyed the dance performance by the teachers and teaching assistants. Well done to everyone that took part and a special congratulations to our winners:
Robins: Lilly Hill and Archie Statham for singing.
Kingfishers: Cameron Hunter, Danny Powell, Noah Lowery & Gabriel Ward for singing.
Owls: Monty Gambrell & Beau Holder for singing and Jessica Wildes for dancing.
Kestrels: Holly Sutton, Jessica Byrne and Yasmin Turner for dancing together, and Conor Hopwood for dancing.
Falcons: Maddison Fernyhough & Nerys Moseley for playing the keyboard.
Friday afternoon the children really enjoyed going to the Castle Grounds to watch the pantomime Jack and the Beanstalk. It was a lovely end to a very busy week.
