Weekly Round Up 13.11.26
A Wonderful Week at Swainswick Church School
What a lovely week it has been at Swainswick Church School! We have been treated to some beautiful autumnal days in Swainswick, bringing a real sense of warmth and positivity to the school. It has been wonderful to see the children so engaged, happy and enthusiastic in their learning, making the most of all the opportunities each day brings.
There is a lovely sense of excitement building in Apple Class as they have been busy practising their Nativity songs.
On Wednesday, we took a moment to pause and reflect at 11am to mark Remembrance Day. This was followed by a thoughtful assembly during the afternoon, giving the children further opportunity to remember and reflect.
We also successfully carried out a fire drill this week. The children were fantastic, responding calmly and sensibly and demonstrating how important it is to practise these procedures to help keep everyone safe.
It was a real pleasure to welcome Reverend Dave to our Celebration Assembly at St Mary's Church, Swainswick, this morning. He shared the story of Noah's Ark, making a lovely connection to our school value for this term, perseverance. The story provided a great opportunity to think about the importance of staying strong, keeping faith and persevering, even when things feel challenging.
As always, thank you for your continued support. It has been lovely to see so many positive moments throughout the week, and we look forward to another week of learning, growing and enjoying life together as a school community.
Just a reminder that we are a nut free school, please make sure everything brought onsite is completely nut free. We also have a member of our school community who has a severe coconut allergy so please take this into consideration too.
