Welcome back! I hope you have all had a fantastic summer break and enjoyed some family time together. The children have all returned to school and look fantastically smart. Thank you for ensuring that the children all have the correct uniform.

Over the summer term, we have had building work carried out which has seen a new toilet block situated near the Hall, the Rocket Room has now moved to what was the Year 6 classroom and some additional rooms have been created to afford us some additional teaching spaces. Staff have worked hard during the last week to ensure that the school is all dust free and ready for the children to start. I would like to take the opportunity to welcome 2 new members of staff to the Welbourne team. Mrs Begum who is supporting in our Reception classroom and Mrs Travers who will be supporting in the Rocket Room. We also say a ‘big hello’ to our new reception children who are starting their time at Welbourne and we are so pleased to have you join the Welbourne family.

World Book Day is always a fantastic event at Welbourne, you never know what characters you might see at school! The day promotes a love of reading for pleasure for everyone. Our day started with a special assembly with Miss Lawson and a visit from Gavin Slater Community Manager at Peterborough United who kindly donated some books for our school.

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from all at Welbourne.

Reception and year 1 classes had amazing fun celebrating Diwali and making the most amazing firework images outside on the playground.

Back together!
