Royal Anglian Regiment Parade through Diss

On Wednesday 7th November the children from KS2 were lucky enough to join the spectators welcoming the Royal Anglian Regiment home from Afganistan.  The regiment have been given 'Freedom of Diss'.  Thousands of people turned out to show their support and it was also featured on the local news that evening (try iplayer if you missed it!).  I think a lot of the adults found the parade very emotional as a lot of the soldiers seemed very young.  Of course there is also the sadness that not all of the regiment came home.

Planting the Sensory Garden

On Thursday Mr Squirrell came into school with his van full of beautiful plants for the sensory garden. Mrs Mills and Mrs Holden spent the day with different groups of children arranging the plants to create our beautiful garden. Thankfully the sun shone and everyone had a great day. A million thanks to Mr Squirrell!
Please take a look at the Den blog for more pics and the full story of the sensory garden.

Celebrating the Queen's Diamond Jubilee

Mrs Clarke did an amazing job organising lots of traditional activities for a fun afternoon to celebrate the Queen's jubilee.  The whole school came dressed in red. white and blue and spent the morning making hats, handbags and the Queen's Knickers (like the book!).  The weather was very kind and we were able to have a picnic lunch on the field with lots of the parents joining in the fun.  At the end of the afternoon the Friends presented each child with a commerative mug.

Book and Film Character Dressing Up Day

The whole school turned out dressed as their favourite  book and film characters.  The day was organised by the school council and they are still deciding what to spend the money on that was raised on the day. 

See if you can guess who we all are!
