At William Ransom Primary School, we believe that friendship is one of the most important building blocks of a happy and successful school life. That’s why we were so excited to celebrate Friendship Day — a day dedicated to exploring what it means to be a kind, respectful and caring friend.

On Monday and Tuesday, we celebrated Ramadan and Eid with assemblies for both Key Stages. We heard from some of our pupils about what the month of Ramadan means to them and how they will be celebrating Eid with their families. Thank you very much to these students and their families - and Eid Mubarak to all who celebrate!

On a beautiful sunny Tuesday, we held our annual pancake race with one boy and one girl from each House from Year 3 to 6 competing in a relay style race around the playground.  The whole school came out to cheer on their team and it was a close run race, as you will be able to read from Luke’s report below:

This year, nearly 70 children in Year 3 and 4 have been attending lunchtime football club, led by the inspiring Miss Mumford and Mr Howard. For half the year, these children have been attending a weekly girls' or boys' session to learn the sport, improve team work, sports-person-ship and resilience whilst getting active and having some serious fun!

French and Spanish Lessons this week!

It was a busy day in Ash and Oak Class on Friday as they enjoyed making Christmas decorations with parents, carers and family members!
