Thank you to everyone who joined us for our quiz night in the village hall. Our PTA did a superb job hosting an excellent quiz and serving delicious food. We raised over £700 towards our playground improvements.

There has been such a lot going on in our school recently.

Our younger children enjoyed a trip to the Royal Festival Hall earlier this term. They enjoyed hearing music from the London Philharmonic Orchestra and joined in the singing with great gusto.

Our older children have taken part in visits to the Winchester Science Centre and experience days at the Abbey. They really enjoyed exploring the Last Supper sculpture in the Abbey and creating their own mosaics.

We also took our Year 5 and 6 children over to Didcot recently to join other schools at an inter-school tag rugby tournament. This was a new sport to most of our children and we were proud of the way they all did their best and persevered against some teams who clearly had way more experience!

Our mini ox for the Sobell House Oxtrail has arrived in school. He has been christened Birinox and we are looking forward to decorating him. He will then be placed in a public space over the summer with other mini oxen from schools and community groups around Oxfordshire. The Oxtrail will be taking place over the summer and we are really proud that our little school is playing a part in this fundraiser. We will share photographs and the exact location with you when we know it.

We have spaces in school and you are welcome to come and visit us to see what we can offer your child. You can find out more from our website here: https://www.st-birinus-pri.oxon.sch.uk/
