Yesterday, we welcomed performers from the musical group Electric Umbrella who delivered a fantastic assembly, reinforcing the positive message that Everyone is Welcome at Prae Wood and that differences are to be celebrated. We always enjoy their energetic and fun performances and this visit was no exception!

Some of our classes wrote a letter to the organisation, to tell them how much they had enjoyed the performance and how they had received and understood the important message that Electric Umbrella deliver.

Thank you to everyone who sent in a photo of their child’s lovely sunflowers. Mrs Gritz really enjoyed seeing them and was delighted that so many had continued to grow in your gardens, with so much love and care. The winners were presented with a prize of a bird feeder in celebration assembly today. The tallest sunflowers in each category were grown by:

KS1 Ethan G (1m 78cm)

LKS2 Rae M (1m 16cm)

UKS2 Lucy C (1m 47cm)

If you live in the local vicinity you may well have spotted our Year 6 pupils taking part in Bikeability training. They have been learning how to make sure their bikes are roadworthy as well as mastering the skills needed to ride safely and confidently on the roads.

The weather has not been kind to them this week (!) but this hasn’t dampened their spirits or determination; the trainers remarked on how well they have done in such wet and poor conditions and were really impressed by their responsible and sensible approach to learning.

Well done, Year 6!

Our Harvest Festival assemblies took place in school today. Thank you very much for your generous donations, which enable us as a school to support the St Albans and District Foodbank in the very important work that they do, supporting people in crisis within our community. The team from the foodbank will come and collect all the items today and they will be sorted and distributed centrally. Thanks to our newly-elected Wellbeing Champions, pictured here, for their help today.
