Year 5 trip to China:    On Friday 11^th April, some of our Year 5 children returned from a once in a lifetime school trip to China. They all had a fantastic time and learnt so much about Chinese culture and customs. The trip was planned perfectly to provide the children with a good balance of sightseeing – this included them experiencing the world famous Shanghai Tower, the Bund and the Yellow Crane Tower, in Wuhan. They were also welcomed to two schools in Wuhan, where they participated in traditional Chinese lessons like calligraphy and Chinese knot making.

Assembly with Brian Nash:       Brian Nash, former vicar at St Chad’s, came in to school on Monday 7^th April and shared the story of the first Easter with the children. The children enjoyed this story and got to understand that Easter might be about more than chocolate eggs and the Easter bunny.
