To celebrate the King's Coronation, we worked hard to crowdfund for a new Coronation Garden.  The school gardening club, in conjunction with Time the Ranger and the generous donations from the school community resulted in a beautiful garden - half themed to cater for bees and the other half on the theme of Red, White and Blue.  Mrs Mayhew then organised an afternoon of activities for the children, we invited members of the community and the PTFA sold cakes and cups of tea.  It was a wonderful day.  Thank you to everyone who donated time, plants and money to this cause.  The children love the garden.

A BIG THANK YOU to all of the parents who gave up their time, energy and resources to helping Mrs. Green, Mrs. Deeks and me to tidy up the school grounds.  A thank you too to all of the children who also came and helped and behaved beautifully - you are a credit.

We are so very grateful to you all.  We know how precious time is at the weekend and we absolutely value you giving us so much time on a Saturday to benefit the school, staff and children.

Thank you too to everyone who donated materials for the afternoon.

Inspiring Angels

School are working with Father Ben at Holy Innocents Church in Great Barton to have a Christmas treasure hunt.  We are asking children to produce an angel, or some angel wings to put up in their windows.  They can be as big or as small as you like.  Once the angel/wings are up, your child can find their house on the map in school and add a small picture of their Angel (parents are welcome to email these pictures in and we will print them off – please email cratley@greatbartonprimaryschool.co.uk). 

We will then be encouraging children, with their adults in their family, to go for a walk in the Christmas holidays to find as many angels as possible and to mark them on a map of their own.  If they bring their maps back into school in the New Year, we will display them and give a prize for the most angels spotted!

We will be inviting other businesses and members of the village community to place angels in their windows too!
