On Sunday 9th November, pupils from St Andrew’s proudly took part in the Evesham Remembrance Parade. A big thank you and well done to our Year 5 volunteers who represented the school so beautifully by laying a wreath as part of the Act of Remembrance.

It was heart-warming to see so many of our children participating in the parade through their involvement in different community organisations such as Beavers, Cubs, Rainbows and Brownies. Their respectful contribution helped honour all those who gave their lives in service to our country.

We will never forget.

Year 3 had an exciting afternoon in the Forest on Monday as they stepped back in time to the Stone Age! The children worked in teams to design and build their own shelters using natural materials, thinking carefully about how to make them strong and weatherproof. They also created simple “weapons” and tools from sticks and stones, just like early humans might have done. Everyone was fascinated as they watched a fire-lighting demonstration, learning how people in the Stone Age would have used fire for warmth, cooking, and protection. Afterwards, the class took part in a brilliant discussion about how essential fire, shelters, and tools were for survival in the Stone Age. It was a fantastic hands-on learning experience!

Our disco was such a wonderful way to finish this half term.

Keeping Our Smiles Healthy!

Some of our Year 5 pupils recently took part in a cross-country event at Prince Henry’s High School, representing our school with pride and enthusiasm. The 1,700m course took them through orchards and fields, where they demonstrated many of our core school values, including excellent teamwork, determination, and perseverance. Every runner gave their best effort, encouraging one another throughout the challenging route. We were especially proud that many of our pupils finished in the top 20 out of 60 runners — a fantastic achievement! A special mention goes to Poppy, who finished an impressive 5th place, Jagoda, who came 7th, and Teigan, who secured 8th — an outstanding performance from all three!

We’ve been singing and exploring with Incy Wincy Spider and Row, Row, Row Your Boat! The children loved getting creative with water play and making their very own spiders.
