Reception Class went to "Once upon a Time" at Gressenhall Museum and Farm - Wednesday, 20th March 2024
Our reception children had their first ever school outing to "Once upon a Time" at Gressenhall.
"Its the opening of a brand-new fairy tale gallery at the museum and the curator needed the children's help to find the fairy tale objects because the naughty witch had pinched them!" The children were split into groups and visited the farm to help clean Cinderella's house, assist with the Ugly Sister's farm yard chores and an tractor ride inspecting the farm. Then after lunch, the children took part in Jack's beanstalk quest,making the witch's potion and finally tracking down the Curators lost objects.
All in all, it was a wonderful day - the children were impeccably behaved and were a real credit to themselves and the school.
Apple Orchard Planting at Whitlingham - 14th March 2024
We took 10 of our KS2 School Councillors to plant an apple orchard on an unused piece of ground at Whitlingham. The children had a great time, learning about the development of various areas of Whitlingham Country Park and were thrilled to be part of this project. All 30 trees are Norfolk apples - some eaters and some cookers. It will be about 3 years before they produce fruit - the site in next to the road and the first car park as you enter Whitlingham, so if you are going for a walk, look over the fence and see the orchard for yourself.
