Horrible Histories – The Awful Egyptians
What a great trip! The children in Key Stage 2 LOVED the Horrible Histories production of The Awful Egyptians. The show was an all-singing and all-dancing tour through Ancient Egypt that told the story of the civilisation from the first Pharaoh to its downfall thousands of years later, stopping off along the way to share very gory depictions of Isis trying to gather all the lost pieces of her husband Osiris, mummification and the journey to the afterlife and the sicovery of Tutankamun’s tomb. In the interval the children were all given special glasses and were amazed by all the 3D effects in the second half that included flying rocks, snakes and gruesome mummies. It’s hard to tell what was the more scary: the special effects or the children’s screams! One thing is for certain though – the show will live long in the children’s memories and ring long in their ears!
Thank you so much to FOFSA who bought the tickets for us all. For many of us, it was our first trip to the theatre and we loved it!
Grounds Day 8th Feb 2025: We got so much done!
We would like to thank all those who helped us on Saturday morning with projects around the school – we got so much done!
Mr Hare, ably supported by his young apprentices James and Daniel (and later by the rest of the Hares) serviced all our bikes, including pumping up the tyres, tightening the brakes, aligning the handlebars, oiling the chains and, finally, giving them all a big wash. This was so helpful – it means we will be able to get our children back on the balance bikes and riding again.
Mr Mee did sterling work removing the two rotten sheds at the back of the playground. This opens up a bit of space which we intend to use for a new shed where we can store all our playtime equipment and games. Thank you.
Mrs Mee, Mrs Hadingham, Arthur and Tabatha did great work in the Early Years garden chopping the overgrown willow structures back into shape and tidying up all that came off them. As they grow back, the plan will be to reinstate the dome and tee-pee shapes.
Mr and Mrs Sargent, Mr Haddingham, Mr and Mrs Wright, Ada and others were kept busy in the garden chopping back the overgrown hedge, fixing the fence, and reinstating some of the raised beds. It looks transformed.
Another group were based in the Sensory Garden where Mrs Sheldrake and Mrs Pipe, supported by Eva and Emily, cut back all of last year’s growth and prepared the beds and borders for spring. At the same time, Mr Barker installed ropes for the espaliered fruit trees. The area looks completely transformed.
Thank you so much to all who helped. The school looks so much better and it feels great to have some long-awaited jobs finally complete. Thank you.
