We are delighted to be back at school with a new interim Headteacher, Mrs. Boucher. We have been very busy already, introducing our Foundation Stage children to life at school; they have settled beautifully.
This half term, we have fitted in lots of exciting events including a ‘Garden Party’- planting the tubs around school, wearing our clothes inside out to raise mental health awareness, sharing photos of our pets for National Pets Day and researching sisters for Black History Month.
We were thrilled to kick off the term with a visit from a British historical association, The Sealed Knot, who ran a living history day in school for the children before they performed over the weekend on the school field to raise money for the St. Andrew’s church restoration fund. We also had workshops run by the Cromwell Museum, which taught children about Elizabeth Cromwell, daughter of Oliver Cromwell, who lived at the manor house. It was a fantastic day, an amazing opportunity to learn more about our local history, and every child showed great interest and enthusiasm, fully embracing the experience.
Already this term, Year 4 have been to Peterborough museum to find out about the Romans and Year 3 will be heading off to Flag Fen soon. A trip to the Space Centre awaits Year 5.
Our PTFA have been working hard to raise money to build a sensory garden in our beautiful orchard, and we continue staff training to ensure we make the very most of the fantastic learning opportunities our orchard provides.
We have spaces in some of our classes if you would like your child to benefit from the amazing opportunities this friendly village school provides. Please contact the office to arrange a visit. office@northborough.peterborough.sch.uk
