TO THE MOON AND BACK
As part of the Norwich Science festival 2024, Saxlingham Primary School welcomed Ben Langley, who performed the play ‘To the Moon and Back.’ An awful lot of space-related learning took place through the play and workshops that followed. It was great that Grasshopper Class were able to share this learning experience.

Year 3 and Year 4 Residential to How Hill, May 2023
The Year 3 and Year 4 children from Preston and Saxlingham have had a wonderful week at How Hill on residential. They have enjoyed so many exciting activities: nature trail; thatching; owl pellet dissection; boat trip on the River Ant and Barton Broad; orienteering; environmental art, dyke dipping; Toad Hole Cottage; and weaving. It has been lovely to share in this special experience and we are extremely grateful to all the staff who stayed overnight with the children: Mr Walker, Mrs Allgood, Miss Dignum, Miss Hughes, Ms McLaughlin, Mrs Newson, Miss Walker and Mrs Winter. Thank you to Mrs Elliot and Ms Ladbrooke who also joined the children for the day.
Year 5 and Year 6 Residential to Hilltop, March 2023
In March, Year 5 and Year 6 children from Saxlingham and Preston visited Hilltop for an action-packed residential. We tested ourselves to the limit, developing lots of new skills and overcoming our fears to conquer a wide range of activities, working individually and within a team. Activities included archery, caving, high ropes, assault course and the big zipper. We also enjoyed spending time together and making new friends. Many thanks to all the staff who stayed overnight with the children: Mr Walker, Mrs Firman, Mrs Allgood, Miss Walker, Mrs Edwards, Mrs Newson and Mrs Knight who attended during the day.
Bollywood Dancing
In May 2023, all classes had a fantastic time with a Bollywood Dancing workshop, rounding off ‘Our Multi-Faith Society’ Project. We are grateful to the Friends of Preston Primary School (FOPPS) and the Friends of Saxlingham School (FOSS) for funding this event in both our schools.

Links with other schools

Dragonfly Class have been exchanging letters with the children in Grade 6. We are really excited to be able to share information about our community in Tasburgh and to be able to find out about living in a contrasting community in a very different part of the world.
