Primary Schools' Celebrations

26th June 2017

Primary pupils’ achievements were celebrated at Melbourn Village College last week with the second annual Celebration Evening.

Guest speaker and former world-ranked tennis player Jade Windley told youngsters, their families and teachers about her life as a professional on the circuit as well as congratulating them on their hard work and achievements.

The Celebration Evening is part of Melbourn’s primary liaison programme and pupils from the catchment primaries of all ages collected awards from events ranging from the Year 4 and 5 science and humanities days, gift and talented maths sessions as well as netball, football and swimming.

It came in the middle of a busy few days for primary pupils. Earlier in the day the Year 6 students who will be joining Melbourn in September spent the day at the college, making new friends and experiencing secondary school life.

Then at the end of the week Year 5 students from Harston & Newton, Hauxton, Foxton and Barrington spent second of the college’s two Humanities Days undertaking geography, history and RE projects, including a river investigation, studying aspects of Aztec life as well as looking at some topical ethical and moral issues.
