Christmas in Cambridge was wonderful on December 7!
As part of the Tree Festival, we now have a Petersfield Christmas tree at the Methodist Chapel.
On December 6th, our Year 5 and Year 6 students attended REActive Church at St. Andrew's Church, where they learned more about the significance of Christmas and how Gabriel delivered the news to Mary.
4th December - We were thrilled to have GENR8 visit our school today to give a Christmas message.
It has been repaired, the boiler pump.
School is gradually getting ready to start tomorrow.
Sorry, school is now closed due to a lack of heat or hot water on December 2nd.
Before the start of the school day, the technician is expected, and we'll update this post as soon as we know more.
29th November - Mother Goose attended our Christingle service today in St. Andrew's Church.
28th November - Today, students from KS2 joined other schools for a cross-country competition.
Our students performed admirably, taking first place in the year 6 boy and girl as well as the year 3 boy races.
On November 22, the entire school had a discussion about how to stay safe around homes, workplaces, and schools when travelling by car.
The survey results for walk-to-school week were distributed.
On November 20, our KS1 students joined kids from Barrington and Foxton for the Multisports Festival.
