35 Children made some beautiful bunting from pressed flowers to decorate the shelter, and we were able to have an advance ‘sneak peek’ at the garden whilst presenting our bunting to the RHS team who were finishing the planting. It’s such a beautiful space, and highly recommended for a visit if you’re passing that area. We have welcomed the new term with enthusiasm, and our Forest School sessions are already underway, both at our on-school site and at Highwoods Country Park. It’s so much fun, and the weekly sessions are very much looked forward to by pupils of all ages. Pupils in Year 6 have also been excellent ambassadors for school this term, participating in an archery competition at Thurstable School. We are really proud of them for their 4th place, out of 11 schools: well done! Finally, the newest (and probably the most-loved!) member of our school community continues to visit on a weekly basis, bringing joy to all who meet her. Poppy has settled really well into school, and has worked out very quickly where the dog treats are kept! She is such a good girl, and it’s been a real pleasure seeing the children enjoying learning to look after her. Poppy works as an Essex Therapy Dog at weekends: we’re so proud of all that she brings to our local community. We look forward to seeing you at a local event before too long - best wishes from all of us here at QBPS. Clare Woodward, Headteacher Learning & Growing
