Back to School with a Difference

Back to School with a difference!

Hawthorn class are so pleased to be back in school after the challenges faced in the last academic year.

We are all very excited to be back with our friends, some of whom we have not seen for over five months! However, there have been lots of changes in school and things are very different to how they were before lockdown. We are enjoying being able to spend time in our class bubble as this means that we get to play with our friends at break and lunch times. There is lots of different equipment that we have in our class tub to use at break time, but we also get to enjoy the two climbing frames that we have at school. The playground rota is taking a little bit of getting used to, remembering which playground we are on each week to ensure time for quarantining the climbing equipment.

We are all working really hard to remember not to touch anything that is not our own and always washing and sanitising our hands. It has also been enjoyable having lunch together as a class either outside or in our classroom as all of the children are currently having packed lunches.

Finally, we think that our new burgundy uniform looks fantastic and makes us feel much smarter when we are in school.

We are looking forward to the year ahead and the learning and adventures this will bring!

Hello from Great Horwood Church of England School

Hawthorn class (Year 5 and 6) at Great Horwood CE School are so pleased to be back in school after the challenges faced in the last academic year.

We are all very excited to be back with our friends, some of whom we have not seen for over five months! However, there have been lots of changes in school and things are very different to how they were before lockdown. We are enjoying being able to spend time in our class bubble as this means that we get to play with our friends at break and lunch times. There is lots of different equipment that we have in our class tub to use at break time, but we also get to enjoy the two climbing frames that we have at school.

We are all working really hard to remember not to touch anything that is not our own and always washing and sanitising our hands. It has also been enjoyable having lunch together as a class either outside or in our classroom as all of the children are currently having packed lunches.

Finally, we think that our new burgundy uniform looks fantastic and makes us feel much smarter when we are in school.

We are looking forward to the year ahead, and the learning and adventures this will bring! If you are a prospective parent and would like to have a tour of the school we have some open mornings on Thursday’s that you can attend. We would love to show you around our amazing school. Please contact the office for more information.

Did you buy a brick? Can you find yours?

Sun 13 Sep 2020 Mrs P Shaw

A huge thank you to Charlotte and Frazer Nash who live in the village for giving up their time during the summer holidays to tidy up our sundial and brick path.

Are you a past family from Great Horwood?

Do you remember buying a brick to raise much needed funds for the school?

If you did you might like to see if you can find your brick. We hope it will bring back many fond memories of your time at the school.
