Welcome Back! I trust you have all had a wonderful Easter break. The Holiday and Fun Program has gone from strength to strength, with school opening to a large number of our pupils and children from the wider community attending and joining in the fun during the Easter break.
The Big Norfolk Holiday Fun (BNHF) programme provides holiday activities for children and young people aged 4-16 in Norfolk. Many pupils and wider community members joined the us at Upwell Academy during the Easter break.
On Friday 4th April, a team was selected from Y6 Kingfisher class to represent Upwell Academy at the Downham Market Schools Cluster Football tournament at Hillcrest Primary school.
We know you will join us in thanking the Edith Blunt Trust for their remarkable donation of £2000 worth of non-fiction books!
Today, our youngest pupils enjoyed a trip to Church Farm for the day. Our day started with a coach ride which the children absolutely loved!
This week, we welcomed the School and Communities joined us on Friday to lead the second of two workshops for parents and carers which explored understanding children’s behaviour.
This week our pupils enjoyed their Easter Disco! The children were thrilled to see the hall beautifully decorated and loved the music from the DJ. It was an excellent event!
As well as our Easter Discos this week, pupils enjoyed dressing in home clothes while kindly donating a hoard of amazing rainbow-coloured items towards ours Colour Run Raffle which will take place in the Summer Term.
On Wednesday for our Crafty Cuppa, we read the story The Paper Dolls by Julia Donaldson. We discussed the characters and chose our own verbs to change the story. We then created our own paper dolls with names that rhyme just like the story.
What an incredible afternoon we had at Kings Lynn Corn Exchange for the annual Dance Festival. Our Year 2 pupils, along with other local schools, took to the stage performed their hearts out!
This weeks build was - a magical fire or water creature. Children had the option of building either a mermaid, kraken, phoenix or a dragon.
