We have had a great start to the new school year at Abbots Green!
We greeted new families into the school, and welcomed back familiar faces after their summer break. Our second Year 4 class opened in September with Miss Hammond as class teacher. Our new class is called ‘Water Lily Class’ continuing with our floral theme.
As ever, there are lots of new and exciting things already happening at the school.
The school library is in the process of being updated, and this week the mobile library also arrived at the school. Children were able to visit the mobile library and each child selected two books for their classroom ‘Book Corners.’
Lunchtimes have had a complete makeover with the introduction of ‘Pick & Mix’ lunches. As well as a hot meal freshly prepared on the school premises, the school’s catering team also offer a cold meal option to the children every day.
Children opting for a “Pick & Mix” meal choose their own food items from a selection of sandwiches; fruits/vegetables; savouries and desserts. By choosing one item from each food category the children create their own healthy and nutritious meal. It has been a real hit so far!
Our school clubs are also underway as we welcomed back ‘Musical Medley’ to the school this week. Children attending Musical Medley Club are beginning to learn songs from the movie ‘Frozen’ in preparation for their show ‘It’s a Thriller’ to be held at The Apex next Summer.
And….when some of the children were asked what they like best about Abbots Green Leah said “I enjoy all the art work we get to do in school” Ethan added ”I love PE at Abbots Green, we get to use different equipment.” Our Forest Schools sessions are a favourite with Florence who enjoys exploring. Finally Emily concluded “I love all the teachers! They help us to learn.”
