Friday 14 June 2024 Sports Day 2024! Sports Day on Monday 10th June was a real family affair with our whole community coming together for a (rather chilly) family picnic before starting our sports afternoon. Each team took part in a parade to their chosen music before Miss Hughes, our wonderful Sports Lead, began a warm-up for the whole school ready for the team activities. Each team then enjoyed 8 activities including cricket super smash, javelin, move the hoop and push the pig! After a drink and rest break, teams went back to their class groups to take part in the running races and relay. Children showed fantastic team work and sporting values throughout the afternoon, demonstrating resilience, encouraging others, and cheering the winners. We are very proud of them all!

The fresh boxes of pea-shoots, cress and other super-healthy shoots were quickly sold out! Thanks to Rebecca Smith and Ed Kyrke- Smith from the Kent School of Food who have helped the children learn about growing their own food. The children also planted First-Early potatoes last week which should be ready to harvest in the summer – potato salad at the Summer Fair anyone?

Thursday 14 March 2024 Choir sing at Evington Hall On Wednesday 6th March, Bodsham School Choir sang at the community Hastingleigh coffee morning. They had practised really hard for months in order to perform nine songs for their audience, including songs with different harmony parts, duet and small group sections, and even one song which was entirely acapella! The concert went down really well amongst parents and all the gathered villagers. Thank you to everyone who came to support us, and to Mrs Jones for driving us in the minibus. What a lovely morning we all had!

Tuesday 16 May 2023 Sparrow the Alpaca gets a haircut Last year our Sparrows reception class visited Alpaca Annie's Farm at Haguelands, Burmarsh. The children learnt about these special animals and how to care for them. This gorgeous Alpaca, born last year, was named Sparrow after our class! He has just had his first hair cut to keep his skin and fur healthy. I wonder if he likes his new style One of our pupils, Theo, is a fantastic farmer who helps his mum around the farm, and keeps us updated on how he looks after the animals at Haguelands. A huge thank you to Theo's mum Natalie for sending us these lovely photos.
