Snowy days are very rare in Plaistow so when there was snow at school on Wednesday, the enjoyed wrapping up warm, getting outside and having fun!
It’s a well known fact that x-country club love a bit of mud and this week was beautiful and muddy!
It has been a lovely final week of term at Plaistow and Kirdford . We finished the term with our PAKSA Awards Assembly, together with songs from KS 2, KS 1 and a short entertainment from the staff team! We then had a very special visit from Father Christmas who gave all the children a gift. Merry Christmas from us all at Plaistow and Kirdford Primary School and our very best wishes for 2023.
The winning entry into the competition really impressed the judges. It was an excellent creation made with recycled material and depicted a night time scene of Father Christmas in his sleigh pulled by his reindeer, flying through the night sky. The sky was even lit up with little fairy lights.
The rain may have tried to dampen everyone’s spirits over the last few weeks but cross country club have enjoyed it! The rain has meant more mud and bigger puddles!
This term we have welcomed Kim Venter to our school to take our After School Art Club . The children have worked really hard and produced some really amazing work. We are so proud of the talent we have in our school.
Hello Plaistow and Kirdford School, we have finally hatched! We are very excited to meet everyone and we know that the children are very excited to meet us! There are six of use and we are already keen to get out and explore the world. We are living in a smaller run, at the front of the chicken pen. Please pop by to say hello.
The chickens have been enjoying the warmer weather over Easter. This week we have discovered that one of the chickens, known as Zebra, has started sitting on the eggs. We are hoping that she will continue to sit on the 12 eggs and they will hatch. If the eggs do hatch, we will have some chicks before half term.
The School Hall was full of song on Friday evening when many of our children returned to school for the first movie night for over 2 years and what a movie it was - Sing-a-long-Encanto
…We Don’t Talk About Bruno, no, no, no …..!
On Wednesday 23rd March our Year 5&6 football and hockey team attended a This Girl Can event at The Weald. The afternoon was focused on promoting girls and their skills in sport.

Cross country club love a bit of mud but this week it was extra muddy! Not even Miss Hall could avoid it!
Today we held our first Ground’s Day at school for over 2 years. All our children got involved with helping to tidy our grounds and plant bulbs and plants for the Spring. A massive thank you to Mrs Jesse and her amazing team of parent volunteers who have worked tirelessly in our Environmental Area and also to another of our families who have very donated the use of a skip. We can’t wait to see our Environmental area in full use again this Spring.
Tuesday 1st March was a very special day for us all at Plaistow and Kirdford Primary School. It was our first day back at school after Half Term and for the first time since 20th March 2020, our whole school were finally able to come together in the school hall for assembly. This was also the first time our Robin and Squirrel Classes had ever attended a full school assembly in the hall and we were really proud of how settled they were. Not only that, but Mr King told us all about Shrove Tuesday and Lent and then cooked some pancakes!
