The sun was shining as the children paraded around the infant playground and then enjoyed a second parade in front of the whole school during our celebration assembly. The bonnets were fabulous, and so creative! Along with traditional Easter bunnies, chicks, flowers and lambs, we were also treated to a few Easter dinosaurs and superheroes. Our reception class also enjoyed an exciting Easter Egg Hunt in our Environmental area. Well done to all of our children (and parents!), it really was a fantastic way to round off a fantastic term!

Tuesday 18 March 2025 School Hockey Team Champions of St Albans! Skyswood entered three teams for the Annual St Albans Schools' hockey tournament and all three teams should be incredibly proud of their efforts.

The winner in their final group match, securing the overall title, was an astute flick from Harry, latching on to a powerful shot from outside of the scoring zone.

We chose a pet peeve that we would like to banish to Room 101 and wrote a speech persuading listeners of a podcast to choose it. Here are excerpts from our speeches.
