In June, our school had some fantastic visitors from the Environment Agency, who told us all about the Salisbury River Park project and why it is so important.  Each class learnt something new about a particular area of the project, which inspired the children to create some wonderful pieces of art.  Some of these are currently on show in the gallery space at 5 Rivers Leisure Centre.

At the end of last term, our children took part in a community project called 'The Spirit of Water'.  Each child decorated a cardboard fish to display alongside the flower festival held at Salisbury Cathedral. The children did an amazing job! The cathedral had over 15,500 visitors and made both the regional and national press as well as the TV! The fish have now been moved to the cloisters for all to view for FREE.  The display will be dismantled early next week, so do pop by this weekend if you can!

The Wiltshire Wellbeing Hub is available to anyone who is struggling during this difficult time – and will now be available on Saturdays.

The hub can help and provide support to those who perhaps don’t have a network around them, and also signpost them to where additional help is available in their local area. Hundreds of community groups, run by volunteers, are still set up across the county, providing invaluable assistance to those who need it.

At the end of last term, our Complex Needs Resource Base was audited by the Local Authority. The resulting report has just been received and our visitors were impressed by the quality of education and care. We must thank every member of Team Kingfisher for the role they played in this significant event, including our designated governor, Jan Paterson.

Last Friday was packed with joyful, sporting endeavour. A team of 10 children represented us at the Wiltshire ‘Quad Kids’ finals  and our Sports’ Day was a pleasure to behold.  We believe that every child must have an opportunity to shine: some will be confident with academic study; some will be great leaders; some will be top thespians; and, as was evident on Friday, some will excel at sport.  The picnic lunch was a lovely community event and it was wonderful to see so many generations gathered together to celebrate the children’s efforts.

This Wednesday, we will look forward to greeting Mr Wakeman (in Herons), Mrs Musselwhite and Miss Knapman (Kingfisher 2)  when they join us for “shuffle up”.   This is a time for looking forward at Manor Fields as we work together to make the school’s future successful, safe and happy.

Finally, this week will end with the very first Manor Fields ‘Festival on the Field’. Great things are planned and we look forward to seeing you there. Don’t forget your dancing shoes……!
