Friendship Bench

This week we’ve had a new addition to our playground. A Friendship Bench which has been kindly bought by The Friends of The Rowans. It teaches empathy, prevents social isolation, and helps shy or new students build confidence during break times. A very big thank you from Miss Fookes on behalf of all the children and staff for this lovely donation.

On Thursday, Year Two visited Hampton Court Palace to find our about life at Tudor Court. They had fun exploring the kitchens and seeing how the Tudors used to store and cook their food. They also explored Henry VIII’s apartments and some of the children even sat in the chairs in King Henry's council chambers!
