ELLINGHAM SCHOOL NEWS
Welcome back
We started our week back with Year 6 going away for their residential trip and we welcomed them back to school this afternoon after a wonderful four days of fun. They're happily exhausted after lots of activities including buggy building, climbing and a great afternoon at Thorpe Lakes on the inflatables. Thank you to the whole staff team who went with them and supporting from school.
We've been keeping Year 6 families up to date with lots of photos during the week which you can see here.
The value this week has been courage linked to the 80th D-Day commemorations. Our assembly on Tuesday talked about the history behind this and today we shared how the international community had shown their respect for this historic day.

LEARNING TOGETHER
Year 5 Composers
Year 5 have started learning how to play the recorder in our music lessons. They will be working towards composing music to compliment the song they have been learning- 'Groove with you'.
They can't wait to show you their final compositions!
Well done to our Year 5 cricketers, who came second in their group.
