Today we celebrated Romania's national day with our Romanian community. Many of our children came to school in traditional dress and they taught the other children about their culture and some Romanian phrases. We were also joined by students from Forest High school who shared information about Romania with our year 5 and 6 children.
Thank you to Eagles class for decorating our entry into this year's Christmas tress festival which is being held at St. Stephen's church.
On the 20th November we were visited by a group of Japanese exchange students who were visiting the country through the Dene Magna. The students enjoyed a tour of the school and spent some time in years 5 and 6. We then held a joint assembly where our junior children sang songs and they taught the children about life in Okinawa.
On Friday, our choir sang a number of festive songs at St. Stephen's church as part of their Christmas Tree Festival. The children were amazing! Well done to Miss Wilkins and the entire choir.
On Friday our SportsHall athletics team took part in the district large schools event. The children performed exceptionally well across all of the disciplines, finishing in third place overall. Well done everyone!

Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust invited our UKS2 Eco-councillors to discover more about the Miners Welfare Wetlands Project.
The area has been landscaped to help reduce flooding and allow rainfall to be absorbed.
The children planted trees and shrubs, alongside wetlands flowers to improve the habitat for wildlife.
Well done to our y5/6 football team who become district ESFA champions last night. The children will now go on to compete in the county round against the best teams in the county.
We held an incredible assembly to celebrate harvest today. The children all sang harvest songs to each other really well. This was the first time we had the whole school together for an assembly this year and it was amazing to see.
What an incredible amount of food you have all donated for our local food bank. This will make a difference to so many people in our community. Thank you!
