What an amazing amount of support we received for our OPAL volunteer morning on Saturday! We are enormously grateful for all our volunteers who made such a difference by making our play offer even better! We now have:
Dino World, a children’s garden and potting area, tuk-tuks, a giant dolls’ house, painting and chalk boards, cosy reading nooks and small world areas.
Lots of repair work means that we have been able to reintroduce resources which needed a bit of TLC. Much fun was had by all, along with coffee and bacon sandwiches from our outdoor kitchen. Thank you to you all- we couldn’t do it without your kindness and dedication to play.

Our Mini-beast Mega Mix is coming to an end.
Did you know that Monarch butterflies have the longest migration in the Americas?
We have found that there is even a pink ladybird with four spots and that there is a caterpillar that pretends to be a snake.
How do you think you would feel if you ate all the things The Very Hungry Caterpillar did?
We have been looking at life cycles and spotting the differences between mini-beasts today.

Year 1 have been putting their teamwork to the test this week! After a discussion about how a good team works, they completed a spiral maze using pipe cleaners to guide their pens along. They had to use communication, great listening skills and concentration to complete the task!

🎹 Piano Recital Delight 🎶
Today, we were treated to a wonderful piano recital by Mrs Moore’s talented students. Performing a lovely selection of pieces, the children showed great confidence and musical skill, delighting everyone with their hard work and dedication. It was a joy to see how much progress they’ve made, and the audience was full of proud smiles and warm applause. A huge well done to all the performers, and thank you to Mrs Moore for guiding them so beautifully.

Dear Parents and Carers,
One of the leading brass bands in England, Flowers Brass Band, are coming to Ledbury to join with Ledbury Brass Band, giving a workshop and performance on the evening of Saturday 5th April 2025. This will be an amazing concert and great to inspire any budding brass players! https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/whats-on/herefordshire/john-masefield-high-school/brass-concert/e-gxodel
As well as a concert, the bass trombone player from Flowers Band is leading a workshop in the afternoon, to encourage any younger pupils (and older!) to come and try out some brass instruments, with the possibility of joining the new Ledbury Training Band. See the flyer for more details. You do not need to book the workshop, you can just turn up.
