We would like to say a huge thank you to the local community for enabling our EYFS children to experience such a wide variety of modes of transport again this year. The children and staff had such enormous fun and so many amazing learning opportunities were provided.

Special thanks are given to the following people who visited us: Andy Wiggins with a double-decker bus; East Midlands Ambulance Service & Lisa Liszewski with an ambulance and paramedic equipment; Stewart from Mowerman with a tractor; David Pickles from Rushden Sea Cadets with a canoe; L Lynch Plant Hire & Haulage with a digger and dumper truck; Northamptonshire Fire & Rescue Service with a fire engine; John Sarrington with his vintage Hot Rod; Wayne Saunders from AW Fabrications with his self-made sports car, winning soapbox, Son's kart and a Dodge Charger kindly brought in by his friend; Paul Blake with his jet ski and Mrs Lewis with her vintage Volkswagon Beetle

Last Friday the children and staff celebrated 'Around the World' Day. Children were invited to dress up in outfits which represented the coutry their class would be 'visiting'. Lots of fun facts were learnt about these countries, and lots of fun was had by all!

We had a fabulous time at the Royal & Derngate on Friday 15th December – to see the children’s faces watching so intently and being so engaged was everything that is brilliant about working in an infant school and sharing magical moments.

Many thanks in particular go to Mrs Savage, Mrs Baker and Mrs Blainey for hours of work that went into making the trip possible.

We have decided that we would like more of the same next year!!!

We are so very proud to announce that South End Infant School won the Summer Reading Challenge at Rushden Library for the most children visiting from our School.

A massive well done to all of our children and families for showing their love of reading by visiting our fabulous local library.
