MendhamPrimary School

Sycamore have been learning all about the Easter story and what the 'Ressurection' means to Christians. They have been learning all about the meaning of the Easter egg and how it symbolises new life. The pupils have been lucky enough to have a visit from Reverend Diane from Mendham Church and the children participated in a role play drama to help them understand the story.

Mendham Primary School is 150 years old! We celebrated with an open day showcasing photos and memorabilia from years gone by. Through the day we saw visitors who had previously worked at or attended the school as children themselves alongside current school staff and pupils. The highlight of the celebration was hearing stories from the past about the school and seeing old friends reunited and sharing stories. Thankyou to office manager Julie Rogers for planning and organising an amazing event. Commemorative tea towels and mugs are still available to purchase from the school office.

On Friday we celebrated Easter at Mendham Church with community and families watching. We heard poems and prayers written by Pine and Juniper classes, the Easter story was told by Sycamore and Seedlings finished off proceedings singing 'Spring Chicken'. The children were amazing and completed their performances with confidence.

Pine Class visited the church last week where Rev'd Diane had set up a living history walk about Mendham 150 years ago. We learnt all about the legacy of Sir Alfred Munnings and how life was different then.
