On Thursday 27th February a group of children represented our school in the inter-schools cross country race.

Many thanks to the staff who organised and supported the event and to those parents who came along to cheer the children on.

Well done everyone!

Special congratulations to Charlie who earned first place in the boys' race.

Our dance club have been working hard on their performance ready for the Feet First Festival next week

They are dancing to Katy Perry's 'Roar' and have created an exciting and dynamic piece that I was lucky to get a preview of this afternoon.

Many thanks also to Mrs Perry for all her hard work.

Below are some photos of their rehearsal.

Our Year 6 class gathered for a photo opportunity this afternoon.

They were modelling the helmets they had made during their topic on Ancient Greece. There were some fabulous growling Greek warrior faces on show.

Well done to our Year 5 and 6 footballers for braving the wind and rain during their training session with John Finnigan this morning. They came back to school wet through but in good spirits. Thank you to Mrs Plant for accompanying them... and for the hot chocolate!

Our Year 5 class presented an assembly to the whole class this morning.

They shared lots of information about the things they have been learning in their topic about flight, including science experiments they have been carrying out.

We have been spending time talking about ways to keep safe online. We have discussed internet safety  and had a whole school assembly.

Some parents also came along to an internet safety presentation this morning.

It has been lovely to see so many parents (and grandparents) coming in to visit Oak Tree Class this morning and this afternoon. The children have been getting them involved with a range of activities during their 'Stay and Play' sessions.

Friday night/ morning was a great...if sleepless...event, full of activities, fun and friendship.

We were treated to a variety of acts at our 'Tirlebrook's Got Talent' shows. Many thanks to all the contestants for entertaining us so well and to the judging panel.

The children also enjoyed getting involved over at Tewkesbury Sports Centre, expending lots of energy on table tennis, football, badminton and much more! Look out for next week's newsletter.

Thanks also to the staff for serving up supper and breakfast to everyone too.

An enjoyable and tiring time was had by all. There were a few yawns this morning...

Please note - there is a cross country race tomorrow. It is still due to go ahead. If you are unable to help with transport or your child is unavailable to compete please let us know tomorrow. Due to flooding the race will be held on the course at the top of the vineyards. The children will need to gather under the big tree next to the play park. Car parking is still available at Tewkesbury Rugby Club but can only be accessed at the rear entrance on Despenser Road, Priors Park. Alternative parking is available at Queen Margaret's Primary School.
