Classes 3 and 4 recently took part in traditional Lithuanian Folk Dancing. The event was organised by Wish Dare Inspire, in conjunction with Norfolk County Council and West Norfolk Council, at St George's Guildhall in King's Lynn. The staff and children thoroughly enjoyed themselves!
We held a special assembly on World Book Day. Mrs Burch made up a story using some of the characters that the children had dressed up as, and before we knew it, we had good fighting evil, although it all ended happily!
Mrs Gant would like to say a very big thank you to all who made cakes and donated money for the Year 3 and Year 4 Bake Sale. The total raised was £300.50, which will go towards the plants needed for the Royal Norfolk Show Garden Design. The winner of the Easter Egg 100 square was Darcy Price from Year 4 and the number was 38.
Classical Music Rocks organised a workshop with Classical Pianist, Siobhain O'Higgins. She played some beautiful music and we were amazed that she could talk to us whilst playing at the same time! With carefully placed cameras, we were able to see the internal workings of the piano as she played it.
PC Chris, from the Norfolk Constabulary, came to visit us to tall us about what it's like to police the local community. He had lots of interesting things in his car to show us, as well as all the equipment he has to carry on himself all the time!
Classical Rocks, a music charity for Norfolk schools, arranged for a visit from two classical musicians. Johan Lofving and Yu-Wei Hu brought their instruments to show us and they played some wonderful music. Johan played guitar and the theorbo, which looked like a very long guitar, while Yu-Wei played her flute!
Lloyd, from iRock Music, came to visit to give us a taste of being in a rock band!
Recently, two of our lovely teachers gained their Elklan Certificates.
Miss Jordan is the Assistant Head/Reception Class teacher and EYFS Co-ordinator for both schools, and Mrs Burch is the Reception class teacher and Forest school Lead at Anthony Curton School.
We enjoyed a tasty Christmas dinner, served up by our teachers, and then we were very excited to meet Father Christmas! He read us a story and gave each of us a present.
We went across to the Community Centre to watch the pantomime, Beauty and the Beast - oh yes we did! It was great fun, and we loved it when Mr Wilkinson was pulled out to the front and made to wear a pink stetson and do a funny dance!
We started off the week with Holy Communion in school. What a lovely, peaceful start to the day!
We took part in Walpole St Andrew's Christmas Tree Festival. A competition was held for the best dressed tree. The judges decided that Year 3 was the best tree, with Year 1 second and Year 2 third.
We were very proud of Patryk-Year 6, Roxy-Year 5 and Finley-Year 3, who designed messages for a special hand-bound book, which was presented to King Charles and Queen Camilla after the Coronation The whole school was visited by Mayor of King's Lynn, Margaret Wilkinson, who had originally asked for West Norfolk Schools to take part.
We thoroughly enjoyed welcoming professional flautist, Klio Blonz, to school, where she performed in front of all the children.
