The whole school came together today to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee. After a bank holiday weekend full of festivities, the fun continued in school with us dressing up as Kings or Queens or in red, white and blue clothes. Everyone looked amazing and there was a lot of excitement around the school. Chertsey museum visited us and gave a wonderful assembly all about the Queen and her coronation. The children loved seeing the different fashions that have been around during the Queen's reign. Year 2 also had workshops delivered by the museum and thoroughly enjoyed them. Unfortunately, the rain meant we were unable to have a picnic on the field but we did still have a picnic in our classrooms. We all came together at the end of the day to sing God Save the Queen. It was a lovely way to round off the Jubilee festivities. 

Today we were very lucky to have been visited by the Mayor of Runnymede, Councillor Elaine Gill. She met with our school council to hear what they had been discussing, gave out certificates in our celebration assembly and awarded our special Magna Carta to a previous member of the school council. It was wonderful to have her visit our school. 

The whole school took part in Earth Day today. This international day was introduced 50 years ago and as part of The Grange's contribution we have tried hard not to turn on the lights. There are many ways in which we teach the children the importance of looking after our earths resources. Our Eco-school councillors gave each class a spider plant and reminded us that we can collect stamps and batteries at school for recycling.

We would like to wish all of the Grange school community a very happy and safe Easter. We look forward to seeing you back in school on Tuesday 19th April. 

A group of children from our school took part in the Infant Music Festival today. They did a great job of performing on their own and with other schools. It was a great experience and we are very proud of them all. 

This week we are celebrating British Science week. The theme this year is "Growth" and each of the year groups will be looking at different areas of growth.

In Early years the children will be looking at the way plants grow. In Year  1 the children will continue to look at different animals as well as conducting an experiment called "Glorious Mud" and in Year 2 the children will be looking at the importance of healthy eating and how humans grow.

We are looking forward to a fun week. 

The children all looked fantastic dressed up in their costumes for World Book Day. We had a whole school assembly and got to show everyone our costumes. We talked about how today was all about celebrating all the wonderful books we have in the world. Well done to all our families for a fantastic effort on costumes. It was lovely to be able to be together for Book Day this year.
