The latest News from Foxton Primary
Owl Class designed a game "Throw the Cake" for the Wimpole Easter trail. It was built and painted following the children's design. If you would like to have a go, it is in the stable block as the final activity of the Easter trail. Wimpole staff have said it has been very popular! Well done Owl Class!
We were very excited to have Foxton Crafters, Mrs Mead and Mrs Smith, visit the children to make Easter decorations. Hedgehog Class made chick and egg decorations, Badger Class made cellophane egg decorations whilst Owl Class made and decorated 3D eggs. The tree will be in the school lobby until the end of term and then taken to St Laurence Church for Easter.
There were so many amazing costumes for World Book Day. Children wrote a story about going into a mysterious castle and then, in Buddy Group Assembly they guessed which non-fiction book was the favourite book of each member of staff.
Owl class entered the Beano's joke competition!
Hedgehog Class enjoyed a visit from Mrs Haith and Mr Daines from Wimpole Hall. Following the theme of the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch, the children coloured a bird and made paper plate nests. The children then researched to find out more about birds we might see in our gardens. The nests and information has been put on display by the library and looks amazing.

The children of Hedgehog Class performed the nativity story at St Laurence Church, narrated by Year 6 children and with songs sung by the whole school. It was a lovely performance and thank you to all the parents, grandparents, relatives, carers and friends who attended.
The beautiful gingerbread decorations, made by Owl Class, are now on display in The Saloon at Wimpole Hall.
Well done to the children from Key Stage 2 who participated in the Cross Country Competition at Wimpole Estate.
Year 5 and 6 carefully decorated real gingerbread with Kelly from Kelly’s Kitchen. They also decorated Christmas decorations to be hung on one of the Christmas trees in Wimpole Hall. The children have been given complementary tickets to visit Wimpole Hall this weekend and see their decorations. Look out for more photos!
We were very excited to unveil our new bench. 3 years ago, the school was involved in a project with Burlington Press, who came into school to run a workshop with Year 5 and 6 children. The workshop involved designing benches and tables for use at the Burlington Press site. There were many excellent designs and the company made some into actual benches and a table. One of the benches was donated to school and we think it looks amazing!
