Members of Alton Concert Orchestra visit our school
We were lucky to have members of Alton Concert Orchestra perform a version of Peter and the Wolf to us. The children loved hearing about the instruments and seeing them being played up close. It has definitely inspired the children!

Key Stage 1 and 2 First Aid Training
On Thursday 19th January, every pupil in years 1 to 6 received First Aid Training as part of our Wellbeing Curriculum. As well as finding out about how to treat cuts , years 1 and 2 learned how to call 999 in an emergency and practised what to say to the call operator. Years 3 and 4 found out how to help if someone is choking and also how to treat burns. All pupils learned how to give CPR, with older pupils also learning how to use defibrilllators.
A huge thank you to Wayne and Matt from www.icansavealife.co.uk and to the PTA who helped to fund this very important learning opportunity.
