The<br>children were incredibly excited to participate, and the parade felt particularly special this year. Our<br>maypole dancers led the parade in their traditional attire, followed by a sea of pupils wearing Aldburycoloured sashes and waving flags. Each flag featured one of our Christian values\u2014did those of you<br>watching manage to spot all twelve?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>The dancing itself was truly some of the best we have seen. Mrs Chandler, our Class 4 teacher, introduced a<br>fourth dance to the repertoire this year; alongside the traditional circle dance, spider\u2019s web and plait, the<br>children expertly performed the \u2018barber\u2019s pole\u2019. It was a wonderful display of coordination and school spirit that made us all really proud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prior to the May Fair festivities, the entire school enjoyed a spectacular trip to Woburn Safari Park.<br>This was a rare and exciting opportunity for every year group to explore together, and we are<br>incredibly grateful to our FOAS group, who fully funded the day. The children were captivated as they<br>travelled through the Road Safari, coming face-toface with a host of animals from monkeys to giraffes,<br>all from the safety of the coach.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Back in the classroom, our Year 6 pupils have just completed their end-of-key-stage SATs. We areimmensely proud of the resilience they showed throughout the week. They approached each paper with a focused, \u2018can-do\u2019 attitude, no doubt spurred on by the hearty breakfasts they enjoyed together each morning. They have worked incredibly hard and truly demonstrated the perseverance we value so highly at Aldbury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The academic year may be drawing toward its close, but the calendar remains full. We still have much to<br>look forward to, including our annual Sports Day, which is always a highlight of the summer term.<br>Furthermore, we are eagerly anticipating the inter-village sports competition; we are keeping our fingers<br>crossed that the British weather remains on our side so the children can represent Aldbury in the spirit of<br>friendly competition with our neighbouring schools!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since we last shared our news, the May Fair has taken place, and what a magnificent day it was!
