Last week, Y3 and Y4 visited The School Farm and Country Fair at Trinity Park in Ipswich. Everyone had such a lovely day watching the gun dog and sheep dog displays, petting a variety of farm animals, tasting some home-grown local fruit and fruit juices and watching the very entertaining sheep show, which featured a live demonstration of sheep shearing and an unbelievable dance routine at the end from the sheep themselves! The children even got to take a piece of the wool home with them!

On the Friday before half-term pupils were asked to come into school wearing yellow and blue coloured clothes to show their support for the people of Ukraine.

In addition to this we held a special assembly in which one of our Y6 pupils spoke about the conflict and wore a traditional shawl.

All pupils came into assembly holding a 'candle of hope' and wrote messages of love and support on blue and yellow card which were laid on the hall floor.

All donations received for this non-uniform day will go towards helping and supporting the people of the Ukraine.

The pupil librarians have opened our 400 brand new books for the library. Here are a few of their favourites. We can't wait to add these to the reopening of our library. A huge thank you to @chase_uk, @literacy_trust and @puffinbooks for your support. #proudtobephoenix #ChaseRewardingFutures
