Lyngitude Make Music day

Thank you so much to all those parents and family members who were able to come along and support ‘Lyngitude’, our Make Music Day event this morning. We think you will agree all our performers were fabulous! Musicians and non -musicians created great music, and showed that music can bring enjoyment and fun into our lives!

There were nerves, but no one let them show.

The Big Heart and Soul Choir were a lovely addition to our event, impressing us with their harmonies, singing songs from around the world. The Reverend too sang a wonderful solo. Great!

Everyone showed that music and song is for everyone- young, old and in between!

A huge thank you and well done to everyone who took part.

Chinese New Year Celebration at Norwich School

A group of Oak class pupils attended this event.

They presented the story of Nian in Mandarin, which describes the origins of the celebration.

They did this really well, despite being nervous in front of a crowd from other schools, and Mandarin teachers!

Have a look at the photos and read some of their reviews of the event.

Cross Country Tournament at Gresham’s Schools

September 29, 2017

A team of 12 pupils from Rowan and Oak classes- Oliver C, Oliver R, Rhys, Francesca, Marnie, Matilda, Charlotte, Heidi, Samantha, Elliott, Hamish, Jake – took part in this event.

All children reached the finish line, with huge competition, as 45 schools from across Norfolk took part, with hundreds of children! It was a difficult course across fields, through woodland, and of course, lots of mud.

Congratulations go to all our pupils – for some it was a real challenge – but they kept going and didn’t give up. All should be really proud of themselves! Rhys did especially well, finishing 11^th place in the Under 9 boys race out of 188 finishers.

Also doing well were our other Under 9 competitors Oliver C, finishing 79, and Oliver R 98 in the Under 9 boys ; Marni 44^th out of 190 in the Under 9 girls; Hamish 96 out of 244 in the Under 11 boys; Heidi, 88 out of 234 in the Under 11 girls.

The next Cross Country event will be the Norwich and Dereham Sports Partnership event at the end of October. We will be sending a team of pupils and the Gresham’s event has helped the children pick up on some top tips for success!

Running club is also focussing on distance running this half term.
