Class 1 Christmas nativity service
Thank you to everyone who joined us Friday morning for the class 1 nativity and carol service in the school hall. All the children did very well and sang beautifully. It was a lovely way to start our last morning at school before the holidays.

We had an excellent Christmas dinner on Thursday 19th December. Well done to everyone who ate their sprouts. The afternoon was spent completing Christmas cards, playing games and having a wonderful Christmas time!
Christmas fun!

Christingle 16th December 2024
We held our first partnership Christingle at Bishops Lydeard Church. It was a lovely evening and thanks go to the three head of schools, Rev Martin and Rev Matt for their help with the service.
Christingle Making
On Monday afternoon we invited parents in to make a Christingle with their child. The children were taught about the meaning of the Christingle, before making it. We will light them tonight at our Lydeard Fitzpaine Partnership Christingle to be held at Bishops Lydeard Church 16.12.24 at 6pm. All welcome
Gabriel's Big Break
Class 2 & 3 performed an amazing production for our Christmas performance this year. Feedback from the audience was just how wonderful the performance was and they couldn't quite believe the fantastic solos from some of the children. Here are some of the photos.
A selection of children in year 4 & 5 attended the service of Remembrance at Maidenbrook Country Park on Friday 8th November at 2pm. We had moments of reflection and spirituality, said prayers to remember the fallen and laid crosses on the edge of the memorial. The children were respectful and recognised the importance of the event.

Sports Day July 2024
A huge thank you to Mrs Gerrard and her team for organising the best sports day today at King's Hall Prep school. The setting was fantastic - even if the weather could have been a bit warmer! However, after lunch, when the sun came out and the children were having some free time, the sun came out and the views were spectacular! A huge thanks to Alistair, from King's Hall for allowing us to use their facilities and for helping on the day. We are hoping this can become a regular venue for our sports day. Thank you to all the staff who helped the day run smoothly too.
World Book Day Celebrations 2024
We just love World Book Day at Cheddon. This year we decided to focus on poetry as a theme. All the children brought in a poem to share and dressed up as a character from that poem. We started the day sharing and listening to lots of different poems to inspire and excite. Then, in our classes, we worked together to make individual and collective poems or stories about our love of reading. We all come together at the end of the day to participate in a poetry slam where we got to listen to all the amazing poems. raps and stories created around that school that day. Outstanding!

Pete the Poet Workshops - Tuesday 5th March
We love Pete the Poet! Today we got to work with Pete the Poet in an hour workshop where we got to dance, sing, rap, play with toys, play instruments and dress up as we created and shared stories and poems to do with diversity and equality. We will use what we have learnt to help us write our own poems during World book Day on Thursday.

Internet Safety Day 2024 - Tuesday 6th February
Class 5
In our class, we have been looking at our privacy when online and how was can stay safe and secure. We focused on being responsible when creating our online profiles on social media, chat or gaming. We then took our discussions about how we can be responsible when making our profile to theoretically create our own profile on paper.
We then looked into what consent is by watching the videos below which then led to looking at the T & Cs on Snapchat which usually means you have given consent (permission) for your photos, videos and other information to be used by that service.

Glow in the Dark Dodgeball (01.02.24)
We held our first glow in the dark dodgeball event at school on Thursday. We had over 50 children join the sessions. The hall was lit up with uv lights and the balls, markers and bibs all glowed in the dark - as did the children's faces by the end. We have had great feedback from those who attended and hope to run it again, once the dark nights return later in the year.
Nativity Service (15.12.2023)
Today, the children in Reception recreated the Nativity scene, whilst the rest of the school sang Christmas songs and completed readings. There was a great turn out by parents and we are all so proud of the children.
Please see the photos below of the event.
Christmas Dinner (14.12.2023)
The children enjoyed our Christmas lunch this week, which included turkey, pigs in blankets and brussels sprouts! It was just missing a Yorkshire pudding in my opinion! You can see from the pictures below how much the children enjoyed it! Many thanks to the kitchen staff at St James Church School for providing such a lovely dinner and to all the staff here for making it run so smoothly.
Christingle Service on the Playground (13.12.2023)
As part of the Cheddon tradition, we held our Christingle service on the playground on Wednesday evening. It was lovely to see so many families (past and present) gathered on the playground. A huge thank you to Matt Bradley for leading the service.
Christingle Making (13.12.2023)
On Wednesday afternoon we invited parents in to make a Christingle with their child. The children were taught about the meaning of the Christingle, before making it, ready to use at our service on the playground. Lots of happy faces all round.
Poppy Appeal (2023)
Many thanks to those of you who support the RBL poppy appeal this year. Our school managed to raise a whopping £388.74. The lady who supplies the collections around Taunton, said we raised the third highest amount! Not bad for a little school.
It's Chriiistmas! Year 1, 2 and 3's Christmas Performance (6.12.23)
Christmas arrived at Cheddon with a bang yesterday, when Year 1, 2 and 3 performed their Christmas play, It's Chriistmas! The children were amazing and feed back from parents was it was the best performance yet!
A massive thank you to the children for performing beautifully, the parents for helping with lines and costumes, and the Class 2 and 3 staff for all of their hard work.
Check out the photos below!
Friday 17th November was Children in Need. We were spotacular! We wore spots or bright clothes and took part in Pudsey's Bearpees challenge.
KS2 Production of Time Lord (12.07.23)
We went on the a journey through time to complete a game and save the evacuee children trapped in the game. Such a great performance from all and a wonderful show to witness. Well done Class 3, 4 and 5.
Take a look at some photos of the show and it's cast.
Bath and Wells MAT 10th Birthday Celebrations!
To mark the anniversary of the Bath and Wells MAT forming 10 years ago, we all came together as school to enjoy a Teddy Bear's picnic. Yes dancing did follow.
A surprise visitor!
Thursday 30th March Cheddon had a surprise visit from the Easter bunny! The bunny was joined by James Want a magician who did some tricks for the children. It was great to inspire the children and develop their awe and wonder. The Easter bunny even stayed around for the end of the day and went outside on the gate to say hello to the parents.
