We are thrilled to be able to also welcome back children in Years 2, 3, 4, 5 and 8 during the last two weeks of term. The set days of return will give all our children the opportunity to safely reconnect with the School environment ahead of the start of the summer holiday. A very special time for our Year 8’s who will now have the chance to say farewell to friends and staff before starting their next adventure at their chosen Senior Schools.
Here are just some of the entries from our very talented children who were given the task of capturing what they will do first when lockdown is over!
It was so difficult to judge this competition as the work was very varied and not all children will have had access to lots of art materials.
We were so impressed and would like to congratulate everyone who entered!
Life at Pinewood continues to be full of adventure, both for pupils who are back with us in person and for those following our Pinewood Virtual Learning Programme at home. Please do follow us on social media to keep up with to date with all our latest news and developments.
