The Molly Men visited school on Monday 13th January to keep the 500-year-old custom of Plough Monday - the ancient East Anglian folk tradition - alive.
The ritual celebrates the start of the English agricultural year. The Molly Men demonstrated dances and the children and staff were invited to take part. It was a great deal of fun for all and helps to develop the children's interest in folklore and local traditions.
On Thursday, Years 3 and 4 were visited by the amazing Cathy Murphy from Gripping History. They took part in a variety of exciting activities, including bow and arrow shooting, spear throwing, role play and monolith making!
A splendid time was had by all...
Thank you to all the children and parents, and to the Venerable Hugh McCurdy for making our Carol service so successful. Especially well done to our readers, choir and soloist.
