Her Royal Highness, the Princess of Wales visits Colham Manor
We were honoured to receive an extra special visit from Her Royal Highness, The Princess of Wales! During her visit to the Children’s Centre as patron of the Maternal Mental Health Alliance, she shook hands with staff and spoke to three-year-old Akeem from our Nursery.
In an incredibly sweet conversation, Her Royal Highness introduced herself as Catherine and asked him if had a poppy of his own. Akeem said he "hadn't found one" yet and reached out to touch the poppy on her jacket. The Princess asked: "Would you like mine? You can have my poppy,". Akeem took the poppy while the Princess of Wales explained its significance. "It’s remembering all the soldiers who died in the war," she added. "There you go, that’s for you. Look after it!"
What a fantastic experience!

The London Irish St Patrick's Day Choir
The St Patrick's Day game is the biggest event of the season at the London Irish club. Our children joined more than 250 pupils, to sing the popular folk song The Field's of Athenry. It was an amazing performance from our children, celebrating Irish culture and taking part in the London club's history.
World Book Day
To celebrate World Book Day, our children took part in many activities throughout the week. Each year group completed a book related task including writing letters to book characters, finishing an ending to a story and creating their own book characters as well as looking at online resources. The work they produced has been proudly displayed in our school for all children and staff to admire.
We were also visited by local author Kerry McGarr who read her debut novel ‘Grateful Greg’ to EYFS and KS1. They enjoyed the storytime and many purchased her book to enjoy with their families at home.
The whole school also participated in ‘The Character Hunt’ workshop. Along with ‘Page Turner’, our children were introduced to a range of characters to explore and create stories for. With a lively session to expand their ideas, it was a lovely experience for our children to discover different ways of using their imagination.
We were so pleased with how much our children enjoyed their week and their enthusiasm for reading created an excitement throughout the school.
