Just Keep Swimming!

These little fishes enjoyed splashing around at the Discovery Swim event by SSSN at Eton Pool. They competed against local schools, completing a range of water skill specific races, using a range of strokes, techniques and most of all, using TEAMWORK!

I think it’s safe to say the day went swimmingly! Super effort!

We are so incredibly proud of Year 6 and their amazing performance of the Lion King. They really are an amazingly talented bunch of children.

We will be in touch with details about how Year 6 parents can access the films we made.

It certainly was the best production ever and it will live in our hearts and our memories forever. The Teakies, Mahognies and Ebonies of 2022-23 will live in the Penn Wood family tree forever too.

Year 3 trip to Whipsnade Zoo

Wed 28 Jun 2023 G.Hothi

Year 3 had an amazing day out to Whipsnade Zoo! It was a sunny day and we had lots of fun! We saw lots of different animals including elephants, tigers, bears, penguins, cheetahs and so many more. We were very lucky to see a young giraffe and elephant. They were adorable! The lions were new to the park so we couldn't visit them but some of us had a cheeky glimpse and could see them staring at us with their hungry eyes! It was a fantastic day!

Well done Year 3 for being superstars and so well behaved!
