Trips
The Year 5s went to Northgate this morning to participate in a CAD/CAMs workshop. They designed their own door signs with little monsters on. The technician then used a laser-cutting machine to make the signs.

Celebrations as Julia Jarman opens our new school library
What a wonderful afternoon of excitement and anticipation as celebrated author Julia Jarman officially opened our new school library.
Children, parents, staff and members of the local community gathered in the hall to hear Julia Jarman share her stories and talk about the importance of reading and school libraries.
Children’s excitement was echoing through the corridor in the build up to the ribbon cutting ceremony and there were cheers all round when the library was finally declared open!
Our sincere thanks goes to the Friends of North Elmham School (FONES) who have worked tirelessly to fundraise over the past few months. Without their drive and the support of the local community this would not have been possible.
What a brilliant start to the summer term! 📕📗📘📙
Discovering Easter at Norwich Cathedral
Sheep and Whales class enjoyed a trip to Norwich Cathedral to learn all about Easter. We enjoyed helping to act out the Easter story in different parts of the Cathedral. It was fascinating to see how many different types of crosses we could spot and discovered that some crosses are covered up and only uncovered on Easter Sunday. We made some wonderful crosses of our own and lit candles to remember the people who are special to us.
Drama workshop
Key stage 2 classes were lucky enough to have been joined recently by the Year 10 drama students from Neatherd High School, who gave us the first preview of their upcoming performance of Hansel and Gretel. It was a fantastic experience and really enhanced the children’s understanding of the story, which was our focus for World Book Week. Not only did we get to watch the students perform, but we also took part in a drama workshop. The students said that our children’s ideas were so creative that they were going to use some of them in the actual show! Many thanks to all from Neatherd and we wish you all the best for the play…break a leg!
The Year 6s enjoyed an informative afternoon at Letton Hall, Shipdham, to learn from the emergency services teams in what they do and how we can use them.
