Y6 Wellington Maths Challenge
Mrs Carrington and Miss Cunningham were beaming with pride to accompany our Year 6's to the Wellington Maths Challenge. The team have worked hard over the last couple of weeks practicing in readiness for it.
Whilst the team did not come within the top 3, they did extremely well.
Remembrance
Norton Fitzwarren Church School, Taunton, supported the Royal British Legion during the week prior to Remembrance Day.
The Year 6 charity team sold poppies and poppy merchandise in classes throughout the week. On the Thursday before Remembrance Day, the year 6 team were invited to attend a service in the graveyard at All Saints Church in Norton.
The service was attended by members of the Royal British legion, whom were ex service personnel. Last year, the school gained Royal British Legion affiliation thanks to Mrs Hill, the schools parental engagement officer, and this remains a strong link.
During the service, the children were invited to lay flowers and crosses on the graves of 5 soldiers who died during WW2. The Royal British Legion also had a tour of the school and visited all classes.
The children were asking them questions, admiring their medals and showing them their poppy displays.
During Remembrance Day, a 2-minute silence was held on the playground, all staff and children were present for this – even pre-school who were fantastic! All of the children showed exemplary behaviour.

The Eco Committee supported the local community planting trees on the village playing fields.
William Morris Big Art Day
Norton Fitzwarren Church School children took part in a Big Art Day where they immersed themselves in the drawings, prints and tapestries of William Morris. Every child used their sketchbooks to respond to their chosen artworks by the designer using a range of materials including chalk and oil pastels, watercolours, wax crayons and pencils for rubbings. Each child responded to nature and experienced different printing techniques across the school from leaf and vegetable printing to block printing with rollers and ink. We ended the day by visiting classroom galleries with younger and older children swapping to experience the artwork at a different age range to themselves, giving verbal or written feedback about the artworks they saw.
Y6 took part in The Royal British Legion Act of Remembrance: laying wreaths at the Commonwealth War Graves in our village churchyard.
