Swaffham Newsletter

Swaffham CE Primary Academy
Young learners are inspired to write, imagine and
create, all through street art, as they return to school.
Curlews Class, Year 3, at Swaffham Church of England
Primary Academy are very excited to explore their
new topic of street art! To develop the children’s
skills and encourage their love for writing, Curlews
class are experiencing some fantastic opportunities
that they have described as 'awesome.' This week
they created street art designs to show what they
are thankful for. Soon they will be collaborating
with a well-known female street artist to write a
biography! We hope that through this modern topic
we can inspire children who are returning to school
as they continue on their learning journey.
Swaffham Primary Academy celebrated World Book
Day and World Sleep Day when all of our children
had returned to school. We had a fantastic day
together, sharing our favourite books with our friends
rekindling our love of reading and bringing together
the wonderful community we are lucky enough to
have at our school.
