Year 3 at Foxburrow Farm

Year 3 children from Earl Soham joined their peers from a number of other local schools for a day of team challenges and activities at Foxburrow Farm.
According to reports, team work was in abundance and the children encouraged and looked after each other extremely well. Looks like they all had a great time!

Wedding Bliss in Red Class

This afternoon, Red Class celebrated the 'wedding' of two classmates following a whirlwind romance.
The bride looked beautiful in her bespoke wedding gown as she was escorted down the aisle by her rather overwhelmed father, whilst a rather nervy groom forgot his tie and had to borrow a Mr Potato Head one from Mr Pearce.
The congregation included respected members of the community including a fireman, policeman, a viking warrior and a postman whilst Batman was in charge of security.
After the ceremony, superbly orchestrated by a very youthful Reverend, the blushing bride threw her bouquet over her shoulder which was in turn eagerly fought over by the ladies in attendance.
There then followed a splendid banquet which included a rather scrumptious wedding cake. A toast was raised to the happy couple wishing them well for the rest of their lives together. What a fantastic occasion.Back to normal on Tuesday!!!

Allotment Takes Shape

On Sunday, a hardy bunch turned up at the school allotment in the village to prepare it for the growing season. Planning is crucial to success.

It was a beautiful day as spades, forks and a rotavator (well skippered by Jean-Pierre) roared into life. After two hours of work, the allotment is now ready for final design and planting.Mr Pearce is allowed to have a go with the big boys' toy!
Many thanks to everyone who gave up their time during the afternoon, especially Mrs Exton who organised it, and to Glenn Warren who had previously cleared the ground for digging.
