Class 4's Production of THE MATRIX    

           Sends Audiences Wild

       

On a hot Thursday in July the crowds queued in anticipation to see Class 4's stage version of the science fiction classic , The Matrix. Wreningham was turned into a dystopian future world, where the search for 'The Chosen One' was being undertaken by rag tag group 6 yof human freedom fighters.

      

Everyone played their parts perfectly: from the heroics of the Nebuchadnezzar crew, the doubts of our hero, Neo and the sheer

ruthlessness of the Matrix agents. 

 

This was once again real, authentic acting by our year 5/6 children, with lines delivered perfectly, with feeling and a real understanding of their story.  A huge congratulations to everyone on a night to remember.

    South Norfolk Champion Girls Win

Bronze in Norfolk County Cricket Finals

It was a busy month for both our mixed and girls cricket teams,  with both competing in the South Norfolk School Games tournament, and Wreningham fielding 4 teams over the two events - with everyone showing just how accomplished at cricket they have become.  

              

The mixed team narrowly missed out on a county finals qualification,  finishing third overall.  The girls team took things to another level, smashing their way to winning the South Norfolk Champions title with sixes and fours all over the ground.

       

On to the county finals at Horsford, home of Norfolk County cricket.  After a tense morning's qualifying competition, the girls won through to the afternoon rounds to compete for the county title. They played some outstanding cricket, with their tight fielding shutting out some heavy batting teams, and defeating schools far bigger and more resourced in cricket than ourselves.  Their efforts led them to a tense final 3rd place place-off which they won after another huge team performance.  Well done girls; this is another astounding achievement for our tiny school, and one you'll remember forever.

  Our Year 3/4 Girls Punch Above Their

      Weight in County Football Finals

                ( Played 6Won 4, Drew 0, Lost 2)

                                      

After qualifying last October, a team of year 3/4 girl finally got to compete with the best in  Norfolk in the School Games County Girls Football Finals.  The girls had been putting huge effort into preparing for the tournament,   knowing that they would be playing against all the Norfolk area winning teams, many from large schools with many experienced girl footballers in their squads.

          

t was a glorious spring day and the football the girls produced was fantastic - even with an opening narrow defeat, the positive attitude and commitment was incredible.  The team went on to win 4 of their 6 games, with a clean sweep in the afternoon.  Almost every one managing to bag a goal to remember, and their effort moved Wreningham into the top ten girls teams in the county.

                                    

                                   Taking a well earned rest break between matches

     

The achievement is a huge testament to the determination, respect and team ethic which our girls have displayed all year. A special thanks to the parents who helped out with your invaluable support.

                  World Book Day

        Mr Men and Little Misses Take Over

             

We celebrated World Book Day 2025 with a Roger Hargrieves Mr Man and Little Miss day.  The school was fullt of characters being messy, tickling and bumping into things.  Thank you to everyone who made a huge effort to create costumes.

        

Each class took time during the day to 'drop everything and read',  and we creted illustrations for our Bue Peter booker reader badge applications.

                

Two teams of avid readers in Class 4 were also invited to Wymondham High School to take part in a book quiz in their beautiful library.  It was a fun, and sometimes tricky competition, with our children displaying great book knowledge.  In a nail-biting finale,  our year 6 team just missed out on retaining their trophy,  drawing on points with the winning team but just missing out on a taxing tie-breaker.

Try it yourself:

"Which 4 letters of the alphabet are not used in all the titles of the Harry Potter series off books?"

A huge thanks to Mrs Gunton and the Wymondham High librarians for putting on such a fantastic quiz and for being so welcoming.

      KS2 Visit Parliament in London to find out

         How Exactly our County is Governed

                        

After an early rise and long coach journey through the traffic in London,  classes 3 and 4 arrived at their first destination: The Natural History Museum.   We spent the morning learning about volcanoes and earthquakes, geology and rocks, and investigating the treasures held in the museum.

        

Following a morning's science learning, we all set off for the visit of a lifetime - the chance to go into Parliament at Westminster, and actually visit the House of Lords and House of Commons.

     

After going through security, we were all fitted up with a useful headphone set so we could tune into our guide's voice we wandered the corridoors of power.

                  

A huge highlight of our visit was the chance to actually visit the benches in the gold guilded House of Lords (although we weren't allowed to sit on the comfy red cushions).  We even got to sit in the viewing gallery while the British Youth Parliament was taking place.

       

After visiting the building itself,  each class took part in an interactive workshop, revisiting the ideas they had learned and investigating the idea of democracy and how laws are made in this country.

 and our British Values Studies at Wreningham                         

The journey home was long and tiring, but we all agreed it was a trip we would never forget.


 

                                                            December 2024

               Class 4 Get Cold and Wet but

           Have Bags of Fun at Norfolk Lakes 

                       

We embarked on our first school residential of the year in December, with class 4 visited Norfolk Lakes for three days of climbing, exploring, paddle-boarding and fencing - as well as lots of room tidying.

This is always a great opportunity for developing our independence, which will be so useful especially for our year 6's who will soon be off to high school.

         

A highlight of our trip was the giant paddle-board experience, with our teams gliding around the lake then meeting up in the middle for some wobbly chasing games around their boards - and some unexpected plunges into the water.

           

New skills, such as fencing and orienteering proved a big hit, not to mention the indoor caving, clip-climbing challenges and the scary blind-trail.(along with the excellent meals off course,)

A huge thanks to the additional staff who helped make this trip possible, especially Mr Janner-Burgess who stepped in to help at very short notice.

      We Remember Those Who Foiught for Us

 

The whole school came together on  the playground to remeber those who have given their lives for us in wars and conflxcts. We all observed a minute's silence and Mr Jones talked about the meaing of the eleventh hour or the elenventh day of the eleventh month,  and how the sacrifice these people have made so we could live in a peaceful country. 

   

   

Class 3 were particulalry interested, knowing they would be taking part in a World War 2 evacuee day in the new year.

        Deja-Vu as Yr 5/6 Tag Rugby Teams

             are the 'Invincibles' yet again

                

              

Yet again, our year 5 and 6s showed just what incredible athletes they are,  enjoying their morning of tag rugby festival activities, then sweeping all aside in their afternoon tournament.  Twenty children from class 4 took part in an exhausting but fun day's rugby - showing their sportsmanship and abilities in the School Games inter-school competition.

 

Both teams  completed the incredible feat of winning all their matches - repeating last year's achievement - but the attitude and respect for the other teams was always prominent.  Thank you to all those children who represented our school so wonderfully.

           

 


 

                                                              October 2024

           Our Harvest 'Sharing' Message

       

       

We all gathered in the village hall to celebrate harvest, with many parents and carers joining us to spread this year's message of 'sharing'.  We were also joined by a member of the Salvation Army, who explained how our kind contributions of food would be used to help those in Norwich who really needed help at this time.

        

All 4 classes sang some wonderful harvest songs,  with the reception children taking part in a big celebration for the very first time - and wasn't their tractor song fantastic.

 

Thank you to everyone who donated gifts of food.  It was lovely to see how our caring, kind school ethos shone through once again.

    We Recieve FA Award for Equal Access

                         for Girls in Football

...and 4  teams compete with success this month

         

It has been a month of footballing success for our girl footballers here at Wreningham.  Not only have we been awarded the prestigious 'Equal Access' award from the FA for ensuring our girls have just as much access to football as the boys,  but we were able to send 4 teams of girls to compete in the tough South Norfolk 5-a-side tournament.

.

The girls have been tackling, passing and shooting their way to the tournament, attending lunch-time and after school football club, and even weekend sessions at the GOALs football centre.

 

All the teams battled their way through rounds in the morning, competing in a knockout in the afternoon.  The goals flowed, and one of our teams even manged to win the whole year 3/4 tournament, qualifying for the county finals in March.  Well done to all our girls who have shown what determination and trying a new sport can do.

             School Council Arrange

     Design & Technology 'Kapla' Day

          

Our year started off with creativity and design skills, with the School Council using the money raised from your fun run to invite the people from Kapla into our school hall.

Every class was tasked with building part of our city of the future, following careful instructions and working meticulously throughout the day to produce our final creation.

 

Parents were invited in at the end of the day to see the results and... wow... everyone was astonished by the intricate designs and construction - the whole hall was filled with buildings, towers, palaces, bridges and a trainline with arches running through (complete with trains and ornate carriages).  There was even a huge statue of a giraffe constructed by year 5/6 to overlook the city.

       

A huge thankyou to the Kapla people, and all the children for displaying such focus and care (remember, one brick in the wrong place and it could have all come tumbling down). Hopefully, this will have encouraged many of us to aspire to be the designers of the future.

Class 4 Productioon

A HUGE SUCCESS!

The Hunger Game 2024

Class 4 performed their incredible version of the Hunger Games on a hot night in July  to a full crowd in the village hall.  We followed the trials of brave young tributes and as they competed in a devious game of tag with the hopes of their districts on their shoulders.

A night of incredible acting, drama, humour, action and that emotional finale was enjoyed by everyone who was lucky enough to be there -. you were fantastic.

The performance of the century

        Girls and Mixed Cricket Teams

      Win both County Plate Trophies !

  

 County Plate Girls Champions 19.06.2024             County Plate Mixed Champions 20.06.2024

 

On two of the hottest days of the year so far, our two incredible cricket teams arrived at the prestigious Norfolk Cricket County Finals at Horsford, competing against the best 16 teams in the county on both days (each team present had qualified by either winning or placing second in each of the 8 Norfolk School Sports Partnerships)- with the majority of teams from schools which dwarf our little school. 

  

Competing in the County Plate tournaments in the afternoon, both teams fought out some tense knockout games, aiming to win the trophy and establish themselves within the top ten teams in Norfolk.

   

The girls won all their knock-out games, and after a tense semi-final against Holt, ran out winners by wickets taken and made it into the grand final.  Here they met their fellow South Norfolk qualifiers, Saxlingham, whom they beat with some incredible cricket, not least by our captain and her batting partner's sizzling sixes and fours.  The following day, the mixed team repeated the achievement, and by a twist of fate also met, and beat, Saxlingham in the final ensuring Wreningham brought home the matching pair of trophies.

             

It was a special event on two beautiful hot days, no one will ever forget, especially those year 6s who were making their final ever appearance representing our school, with there usua; impeccable behaviour and lovely respect for the opposition teams.  Well done everyone, you were truly astounding.

New Head for a Day Elected

on British Election Day - July 4th

                                                       

                

                   The Candidates place their votes... Manifestos are presented

Key Stage 2 got invovled in the democratic process this month by voting for the next head teacher for Wreningham (although they would only be in the role for one day only in July). Children in assembly 4 listened intently to the election speeches delivered by the candidates and decided which manifestos were most attractive. 

After everyone had popped their vote into the ballot box (all secret of course), the voting papers were counted up. It was a close contest , but a winner was elected and will become Wrenigham's Head Teacher for a day on July 12th. 

                    

As well as dealing with school business in the office, the 'new' head has planned some whole school activities.  Well done to all the candidates, who impressed us all with their confident, clear and professional speeches.     

                                       

         The polling station get incredible busy... everyone is keen to take part

                 ...and the winner is

 Everyone Finds Time to Think, Reflect

   and Learn in our Prayer Space Week

                                 

 The Mary Fairman Room was transformed  into an oasis of peace and calm this week when we created our prayer space - a place everyone in school had the chance to go and explore. 

       

 

We filled the room with many activities relating to thinking about those big question in life, thinking about others and exploring the wide world. and the many problems that exist: poverty, injustice, pollution and unfairness.

    

     

Most importantly, it gave all the children in school the chance to reflect on their own lives and the people who love and support them, expressing their hopes, dreams and prayers and showing empathy for those who have hard lives around the world.

              Incredible Achievement:

        Mixed and Girls Cricket Teams     

            Qualify for County Finals by

                            Winning Gold and Silver

            

 After two days of gruelling batting and fielding, both of our cricket teams, the mixed and girls' teams have earned a place in the county finals at Horsford this month. 

   

The teams played throughout their south Norfolk tournament days at Hethersett and Tas Valley cricket club, with match after match coming thick and fast.  The mixed team won all their group games , reaching the final and missing out on the gold medal on the very last ball - an amazing performance.  The following day, the girls took part in their competition, winning all their 6 games and winning the gold medal on the day.

                       

The top two teams in each tournament earned the right to represent their school at Horsford - the home of Norfolk County Cricket Club - in the School Games County finals, the second successive year we have achieved this.

    This is an incredible achievement for our small school, especially since many of our year 5 players were experiencing tournament cricket for the very first time.  Many thanks to Laura, our South Norfolk SGO, and the members of Norfolk County Cricket , who organised such a great event.  Good luck everyone in the county finals.

Keep On Running... Keep On Running

               Our Fun Run in Walk-to-School Week helps

              us focus on healthy lifestyles and keeping active

    

After our huge efforts in Walk-to-School Week, the end of term saw everyone take to the big field for the annual fun run. The run was organised by the school council,  with huge thanks to one member in particular for her extra hard work setting up the whole day, and organising beautiful medals for everyone who took part.  A huge thanks to 'Aqua Animals Swimming' for such a kind gesture in donating these to help make the day memorable.

   

The older children were partnered with our younger children to guide them around, but as they soon found out,  our class 1 and 2 children have unlimited energy and stamina - with the older children working hard to keep up. 

            

Everyone gathered for the presentation of medals and prizes at the end of the school day.  There were some wonderfully imaginative running vest number designs on display, with Mrs Thurlow judging the winners for each year group. 

 

    

After counting up all the laps completed by the whole school, year 5 and 6 took to their maths books to examine the running data.  It was a great chance to practice our mean average and our metric-imperial measurement conversion skills.  

We used our Digimap software to show just where we could get to in the country, and even into France.

The total distance ran by the whole school was a huge

370.23 km (or 231 miles). 

       

Many thanks for all your sponsorship, with some of the money raised being put towards a great design and technology experience  for the whole school in autumn..

            Wymondham Book Quiz

                       

Our team of year 5 avid readers locked horns with other schools from Wymondham in the Wymondham High book quiz this month.  After 8 rounds of questions relating to characters, blurbs, book covers, plots and even book charades, the team, much to their great surprise, found  they had come out on top. 

    

Their score of 50 out of 60 meant they took away the annual trophy, and got to choose a new book each as a reward for their efforts.celebrate. A huge thank you to the staff and pupils at Wymondham High school for organising the quiz and allowing us to use their wonderful library.

       'May 4th Be With You Class 4'

   Young Jedi Raise Money for Charity''

                                               

 

     

       

C4 celebrate Star Wars Day and Raise Money for Sunbeams a charity run centre in Great Yarmouth which provides a wonderful place for children with autism to be themselves, supporting children from year 1 through to 25 year old adults with autism.

   

Class 4 once again made their annual trip across the galaxy to celebrate international Star Wars Day. This year, as May 4th was on a Saturday, we postponed our day until Monday 6th, but that didn't stop everyone in class contributing by dressing up, changing their hairstyle and donating to a wonderful charity helping children with autism. 

 We tackled some fiendish Star Wars  maths puzzles and designed our own individual Mando helmet, and even made our own mini Jawas.

      Were you on the dark side...                   the light side.....

                                 

                               or one of those Mandalorians ?

Thank you to everyone who contributed, and we raised a fantastic £80 for Sunbeams.  This was also a great opportunity for the class to talk about autism and learn about the challenges autistic children/children with ASD find in their everyday lives.

             Local History Comes Alive as

                We Visit Norfolk Archives

                   

As part of their History curriculum, Class 4 delved into the past on this week's visit to the Norfolk Archives,  We spent the whole day learning about our village over a hundred years ago, handling original maps and documents, and investigating the Wreningham inhabitants and their lives.

     

We translated the tricky handwriting from the original census documents and found out about the services existing in the village in the 1800s.  The archive staff were very kind and gave us a tour of the building, explaining what their job was, and even allowing us into the strong room where all the documents relating to Norfolk were stored (in a temperature controlled environment). 

We learnt a great deal about our local area and the staff were very impressed with how Class 4 represented our school, even taking time to email and thank everyone:

          Netballers Break Incredible Record:

            School Games Champions for 5th

    Successive Year, Winning Gold and Silver

                               

Our incredible year 5 and 6 netballers continued to break records this month,  with both of our teams beating every team they came up against in the School Games finals at the UEA. That meant  that we had to play against each other for the second successive year, with Wreningham Reds coming out on top.

            

Each team were in opposing sides of the tournament, with both wining all their 6 games and topping both groups. That meant another friend against friend final,  played as usual in a competitive but wonderfully respectful manner.

          

On the way to the final, the Reds came up against a  team from Dickleburgh who could only field young KS2 children,  but as you would expect, the Wreningham players went out of their way to show kindness and support during their match and throughout

the day - with the Reds even giving up their winners medals to the younger children as they were so impressed with the resilience of Dickleburgh. 

Thank you to everyone for your impeccable behaviour and respect you showed to everyone you played against, and a special thank you to Andrea for her wonderful support to us all on the day.

          Tag Rugby Teams are the 'Invincibles'

              

The year 5 and 6 tag rugby players showed all their skills and determination this week when they took part in the South Norfolk tag rugby festival.  The morning was spent on a skills carousel,  with passing skills, teamwork and tagging techniques being honed. 

                

The afternoon saw the player split into two teams, each taking part in their own tournament against other south Norfolk schools. After an afternoon of hard running, accurate passing and some great shows of team respect,  both teams won their tournaments, winning every game and earning the title of 'invincibles',  and matching the exploits of last years incredible teams.

                    We Say Goodbye

      and a Huge Thanks to Mrs Sharp

                                  

It was a sad day at the end of spring term when we said farewell to Mrs. Sharp,  who has been our our fantastic school secretary and business manager for almost twenty years.  

There isn't anyone in school who Mrs. Sharp hasn't helped out, supported or lent a listening ear to over the years  and we are all going to miss her a great deal.   Good luck in your retirement and we hope you liked our gifts, cards and best wishes.

           C3 Green Flag Ecco Team

                 Reveal Plans in Assembly

                         

The new Wreningham Ecco Green Flag Team stepped up in assembly to reveal their plans to ensure our school is a 'green' school.   After an excellent presentation (and we know how scary it can be to speak to the whole school),  we learnt about the things we need to do to be an 'ecco' school.    If everyone does that bit extra, it builds into a huge positive change.  

 

So don't forget to use the recycling bins for paper,  put old batteries in the battery box,  help removing litter from the playground and pop your crisp packets in the crisp bins,  as well as making sure those lights and computers are turned off when not being used.

               Egg-tra-ordinary Egg-Drop

        

Eggs rained down from the sky during our our traditional

spring egg-drop event in school.  

          

There were all manner of strange contraptions on display in the last week of spring term, as we gathered in the hall for our annual 'Egg-Drop' event.   It was clear that the children had ploughed huge amounts of time and energy into their home-made vehicles, with the objective of safely carrying their egg to the ground without so much as a crack.

Mrs Furness climbed the ladder in the hall and sent each machine off on its journey.  Thankfully there were lots of smiles and laughter as egg after egg survived, with the odd casualty.  There was some great 'forces' science on display, with springs, wings, propellors, and even water used to absorb the force of the landing.

           

A huge well done to everyone who spent time creating, and decorating there egg-drop vehicles - we hope you are already thinking up some more devious designs for next year.

Whole School Take a Trip to the Stars                                 

 A strange inflatable dome appeared in the village hall this term, but it wasn't a bouncy castle.  We were lucky enough to be paid a visit by Mr Willis and his incredible planetarium.

                

Each class spent time inside, where we were met by a huge screen wrapped around the room, and some very technical equipment to create the images. 

Once inside, we travelled through the universe,  exploring the stars and planets,  learning about the moon landings, the space shuttle and the international space station. Mr Willis has actually worked at NASA, so he was the ideal expert to answer all our questions about black holes, super-novas and life out there in the universe. 

A huge thank you to him for lending his time and bringing his wonderful window into the universe to school.

    Incredible Achievement of Year 5/6

   Girls Football Team in County Finals

             ( Played 7 :  Won 3, Drew 3, Lost only 1!)

         

Wreningham girls showed their pure determination, resilience and ability in the School Games county finals this week - having qualified in the south Norfolk tournament the previous October.  It was a daunting prospect: facing huge schools with large pools of girls to choose from, including many academy and PDC  experienced players.  However, as usual, our children showed incredible attitude and willingness to run for their team - making every team they played against work for every inch of the pitch. 

            

Playing through some painful injuries in some frantic games, the girls recorded an incredible set of results, only being beaten once by a top team, and then by a narrow 1 - 0 defeat.   In two mesmerising, tense matches, they even came back from the dead, over-turning 2-0 deficits, winning 3-2.

It was great to see those girl's who scored for the first time in a big tournament experience the thrill of a last minute winner.

            

A huge thanks to those parents who helped out - and of course our amazing children who treated all their opponents with huge respect and kindness.

                  World Book Week:

       WhDo You Want To Be ?

   

Wreningham kicked off World Book Week with an assembly asking,

' who would you wish to be?'.  The hall was packed full of characters from books and films, as well as children dressing up as their dream occupation.  We had vets (and a veterinary nurse) and super-heroes,, artists and fashion designers, pilots and Shakespearean characters,  a paleontologist,  footballers, an engineer...and even an astronaut (complete with rocket).

There was also a teacher and a police officer to keep everyone in check. 

                  

A huge well done to all those children  and parents who spent time creating costumes - later in the week we'll be creating book covers for books about our characters or dream jobs.  

     

       Lots of artists...                                                          Meet our new teacher...

       New Wreningham Netballers Have Great Fun

         ...  and as a Bonus, Retain their Netball Title

          

It looks like the legacy of Wreningham's incredible netball successes is in good hands again after last years all conquering team passed the baton on to our new batch of players.  Once again the year 5 and 6s showed their ability and willingness to run for each other by not only retaining the Wymondham Prep. Tournament trophy at Wymondham college. , but managing to get two teams to the final - guaranteeing a Wreningham win.  This was a new experience for many of the players in our three teams, and everyone could see the confidence increasing and wonderful skills emerging as the tournament progressed. 

This was a great chance for everyone to experience a competitive tournament on full sized pitches: our playground pitch is tiny compared.  However, all those practice sessions proved successful once again (imagine what level we could get to with the facilities which the high school have at their disposal). 

   

The two Wreningham finalist teams even managed to win their qualifying groups without conceding, and winning every game on their way to the final.   Great thanks to Active Norfolk for organising the tournament, and Wymondham Prep. for their lovely welcome .

      

    

   Taking time out - talking tactics?                Displaying the well earned trophy.

       Wreningham School Traditional Nativities

              Welcome the Festive Season

                     

               

 Wreningham children in KS1 and KS2 have always performed traditional nativity plays in the Christmas month, emphasising our Christian school ethos and ensuring the real meaning of Christmas is not lost in our school.   With huge efforts from children, staff and parents, it was wonderful to perform the nativity through some great story telling, songs and performances.                                      

              

The key stage one children performed their nativity with huge confidence,  with many of our youngest children standing up in front of an audience for the very first time.  The songs were fantastic, and the performances incredible  - how did you remember all those lines KS1 ?  We also need to mention those impressive costumes.

                    

KS2 performed their 'It's Christmas' extravaganza in the village hall, telling the traditional nativity story through a host of memorable Christmas songs  - with a supporting class 4 choir.  Thank you to everyone who came to watch - we actually ran out of chairs in the village hall.

  Our 2023 Christingle Service 

      

The autumn term was brought to a close with our traditional Christingle service in the village church.  Year 6 took responsibility for organising and conducting the whole service, with year 5 reminding everyone of the symbolism of the orange christingles we all made in school to celebrate Christmas, with some performance poetry.   

                      

Well done to Class 4 , who showed their ocarina skills by playing some some carols we all know, and especially to year 6 ,who did a fantastic job in what will be their last Christmas service with us.

                We're Not Afraid of Heights:

       Class 4 Autumn Residential to Horstead:

                     

 This year saw Class 4 visiting Horstead Residential Centre for 3 days in November. Year 5 and 6 threw themselves into archery, rock-climbing, zip-wire challenge, the dreaded 'Jacobs Ladder' climbing challenge, crate stacking, canoeing and even survival skills.

              

      

We also set out on a scary night walk, equipped with torches: and fortunately we all found our way back to the centre.  We rounded off the final night with a talent show around the bonfire and toasted marshmallows before bedtime.

           

Everyone had a great time, - with some lovely meals, and some ferocious games of pool in our free-time keeping everyone happy.  Thank you to the staff who gave up their time to oragnise this memorable experience for everyone.  We're now all looking forwarded to next year's class 4 residential to Norfolk Lakes.

          Wreningham Lionesses Show Their Skills

                    and Qualify for Big County Final in March

                                                  

                         

A huge well done to the 4 teams of girls who competed in the South Norfolk Schools Partnership Girls Football Tournament.  This year, we were able to field 4 teams of girls from year 3 to 6, with some girls competing in the sport for the very first time.

It was a frantic day of matches, with each team competing in a morning group, then progressing to the afternoon placing groups.  After hundreds of goals and some incredible goal keeping from our 4 keepers, everyone agreed that it was a fantastic day out, and we can't wait for next year.

Every team did exceptionally well, with one team gaining silver medal position and earned a place in the big School Games County Final in March. Good luck girls - we know you'll do Wreningham proud.

           Our Harvest Festival Message

               

 

 Our term's theme of 'Compassion' was evident in our harvest

festival this year, along with some fantastic singing from all four

classes.  the hall was full of parents and carers for this years

celebration, and we'd collected a huge amount of food to help
those in need.
.

    

Captain  Tracey Bale  from the Salvation Army kindly spoke to us

about  how our gifts of food would be used to help those who are

homeless around Norwich.  Year 1 and 2 sang 'First the Little

Roots Grow', year 3 sang 'Thank Your Lucky Stars', and class 4

finished our celebration with their rap version of 'Cauliflowers

Fluffy'. 

   

  A special round of applause to our year 1s who performed for the

first time at Wreningham.  Thank you to everyone who kindly

donated food, which will be distributed to those who need it most

around the city of Norwich.

               


           

Text Box: From: Sarah Turner <STurner@forncett.norfolk.sch.uk>  Sent: Friday, May 19, 2023 3:26 PM  To: Office - Wreningham VC Primary School <office@wreningham.norfolk.sch.uk>  Subject: FAO: Mr Jones - Netball Event - Thank you!     Dear Mr Jones,      Yesterday, I took a group of girls from my school to the netball event at the UEA. Sadly, our team came last, despite heroic efforts!   As I am sure you are aware, the teams from Wreningham came in first and second place - congratulations! To my surprise,  when the winning team had collected their medals, they immediately passed them to the girls from Forncett, offering them words of congratulation and encouragement. They had also offered kind words and coaching during the games they played together.     I would like to pass on my thanks to the wonderful, kind hearted and sporting children from your school for this lovely gesture. The Forncett girls were thrilled and really appreciated what your children had done.     I am sure you are very proud of your children - they are a credit to your school.  Kind regards   Sarah Turner  Class Teacher and SENDCo  Carleton Rode & Forncett St Peter CEVA Primary Federation     ‘Love your neighbour as you love yourself’ Matthew 22:39
