Small Schools Week

Last week, the school came off timetable to celebrate all that is great about small schools during National Small Schools Week.  Prior to the official week's activities, Years 5 & 6 took a trip to Paris to further develop their speaking and listening skills.  Children travelled by Eurostar and engaged in a treasure hunt around the city; a trip up the Eiffel Tower and the purchasing of souvenirs to further develop their French.  

Small Schools Week officially kicked off on Monday 23rd June and involved a great range of activities including:

• A teddy bear's picnic for Nursery/Reception with children from Flamstead School, Gaddesden Row and Little Gaddesden.
• A trip to Tring Museum for Years 1 & 2.
• Rafting on the Grand Union Canal for Years 3 & 4.
• Rock-climbing and caving for Years 5 & 6.
• A whole-school trip to Whipsnade Zoo.

As well as many, many more!  A great number of parents have told me how much children enjoyed the week's activities.  We are delighted and are already beginning to discuss next year's events!

Sincere thanks to all staff, parents and governors who ensured that the week was such a success. 

A special thank you to Nicholas and Viola Halsey for giving their time so freely on Friday and for the use of their estate.  (We are already discussing a re-visit in the Autumn Term!)
