 The Otters had to be on their best behaviour for their Nativity, The Bossy King! The story was all about a very bossy king who loved telling everyone what to do. He believed HE was the most important king in the land, until he saw baby Jesus and realised that the tiny baby was the most important king. The children looked fantastic in their make-up and costumes. They all sang really beautifully and the narrators told the story very clearly. Everyone had a great time performing it to the parents! Well done to the Otters on a fantastic Nativity, and a special well done to Edward Nichol, the bossy king!

 Is it really possible to travel into outer space, go on a journey through the human digestive system, survive a tornado, launch a rocket and much, much more, all in one day? Yes it, as J4 discovered on their trip to ‘At Bristol’. The children attended two amazing workshops, visited the planetarium and still managed to try out countless hands-on Science activities all in 5 hours! Some children even created their own Wallace and Gromit- inspired animation. Alex Hendrick said the planetarium was ‘awesome’; Lucy Thomas really enjoyed the television studio and Finn Dawson said it was the best school trip ever. A Grand Day Out was had by all!

 Recently the J2 class visited the Kitchen Studio at Waitrose in Cheltenham . First the children were given a tour of the shop which included the food hall and a behind scenes look at where all the merchandise is stored. Then with the help of the ladies in the kitchen studio, the class got creative and prepared a delicious couscous salad using lots of healthy ingredients.The children learnt lots of interesting facts about different types of vegetables but everyone agreed the best bit of the trip was creating their own tea to take home.The class was a credit to Rendcomb and several members of the public commented on how smart and polite the children were. Well done J2!
