SCHOOL NEWS & Key Dates
HEADTEACHER MESSAGE
What a week we’ve had — so much going on, so many reasons to feel proud of our brilliant children, and plenty of memories made along the way.
We began on Monday evening with our very special Tywnham Learning SPOTY Awards (Sportsperson of the Year). It was a fantastic event, recognising children who have shown outstanding dedication, effort, and team spirit across a range of sporting categories. Huge congratulations to all the children who were nominated – you truly embody the spirit of TPS.
Earlier that day, the children had an absolute blast with skateboarding sessions to kick off Sports’ Week. There was such a buzz of excitement around school afterwards.
On Wednesday, we embarked on our brilliant whole-school trip to Moors Valley. A heartfelt thank you to all of you for helping make it happen — we know it was a big logistical ask, and we’re so grateful for your support. It was absolutely worth it. We had THE BEST day in the sunshine, and the children’s behaviour throughout was impeccable – they were a credit to the school and to you.
Thursday brought another full day! First up was Sports’ Day, which was certainly a hot one, but the children coped so well. The shaded rest station and hosepipe cool-downs helped enormously! Congratulations to Attenborough House for taking the win this year – and well done to everyone for showing such enthusiasm and great sportsmanship.
Then in the evening, our amazing Year 5 dancers, led by Miss Salter, took part in the Christchurch Dance Festival – and they did us all incredibly proud by winning the award for Best Choreography! A huge well done to them all – the creativity, teamwork, and confidence on show were just wonderful.
And there’s still more to come! We’re looking forward to the House Match Grand Finale this coming Monday to round off what has been a truly action-packed and uplifting Sports’ Week.
Wishing you all a well-earned, relaxing weekend.
ELMER'S FIRST CLASS ASSEMBLY
Elmer’s class put on a fantastic first assembly, transforming into a colourful parade of mini beasts!
Dressed as ladybirds, butterflies, spiders, and more, the children wowed the audience with their confident singing and expressive actions.
Each group had a chance to perform their own special bug song, showcasing all they’ve learned throughout our mini beasts topic.
It was a joyful and creative celebration — a perfect way to wrap up this exciting unit of work!
GROUP PICNIC
Elmers and Tiddlers had a wonderful time at their afternoon picnic. The Tiddlers shared their experiences of Year One, and everyone enjoyed playing fun games together in the sunshine.
