2 City Champions from Norton Free!

Mon 26 Jun 2023

At the City Championships tonight 26/6/23, we took 9 fabulous children and at the end of the evening we have TWO City Champions! Not bad for a one form entry!

Luca threw his cricket ball the furthest and is the new City Champion 2023 for throwing and he’s only Y5! Fabulous work Luca!

Batya shared first place with another girl in her heat for the 80m sprint as they both ran the same time. She qualified for the final and then comfortably took the win to become City Champion - WELL DONE!
The children were amazing! Jacob won his heat for the 800m, Alysianna, Harriet and George were fabulous in the race walk. Tia was 3rd in her heat for 80m. Luca won his heat for the 80m and finished 5th in the final which is fabulous too! Our Girls Relay team were 3rd in their heat and sadly didn’t make the final but they were BRILLIANT - well done Kaysha, Autumn, Batya and Alysianna. We are SO proud of you all!!

Coronation Celebrations

Thu 04 May 2023 HB

To commemorate the Coronation of King Charles III, we have planted a tree near the main entrance of the school. Mrs Bell and Mr French chose the oldest child and the youngest child in Y6 together with the youngest child in Foundation and his friend to dig the hole and plant the tree. We will be adding a commemorative stone in the future.

Amelia, Nathan, Albert and Oscar were great helpers and you will see from the photos, what a great job they did. Even Bobby came to help!

This will commemorate another piece of history for future generations of children.

Wow! We were so impressed with all the World Book Day costumes. All of the staff dressed up as characters from the same book. Do you know which book it is?
