On Friday morning, eight Year 2 children attended an athletics meeting, hosted by St. Edmund's Prep School.

The aim of the morning was to provide an opportunity to take part in a sporting event against other schools while working towards personal bests across a range of track and field disciplines. The children embraced every challenge with enthusiasm, had lots of fun and represented the school superbly. We were especially delighted to win the final event of the morning, an extremely exciting 8 x 50m relay, which secured enough points for us to win the overall competition.

Teachers at St. Edmund's Prep commented on how impressed they were with the children's sportsmanship and how well they modelled the School Games Values.

This morning we held the Year 4 PGL Assembly; children who took part in the visit last week shared their experiences and thoughts about the trip with parents, carers, and other pupils. The children talked about the activities they took part in, which included zip wire, orienteering, Aeroball and climbing, to name but a few.

Staff who went to PGL with the children have shared how impressed they were with the children, who threw themselves into the activities with enthusiasm and resilience, overcoming fears and learning new skills whilst having a wonderful time with their friends.

The school photographer is coming on Tuesday 19^th May to take class photographs, and a whole year group leavers photo of Year 4. Please ensure your child is dressed in smart uniform that day, with black shoes.  If they usually have PE on Tuesdays, they are to wear normal uniform instead on that day.

Our Family Support Worker, Ms Kerr, would like to invite parents to a coffee morning on Wednesday 29th April from 8.50-10am.
This informal session will take place in our new building (next to the tennis courts), and allows for an opportunity to relax with a hot drink, chat to other Tannery Drift parents as well as our Ms Kerr. Tea/coffee, biscuits and mindful colouring sheets will be provided, and feel free to bring a project such as knitting, if you want some well-deserved me-time. Babies and toddlers are welcome to attend.
It would be great if you can send an email to admin@tannerydrift.herts.sch.uk if you would like to come, so we can gauge numbers, however walk-ins on the day are also extremely welcome.

On Tuesday 17th March 12 pupils from year 2 took part in a Tag Rugby Festival at St Edmunds Prep School.  

The Tannery Drift teams demonstrated exceptional teamwork, determination, and resilience, and their commitment paid off, as they went on to win all of their group stage matches and secure places in the finals.

Following some nail-biting final matches, we're delighted to say that both Tannery Drift teams were crowned the winners of the day, and received gold medals.  Well done to everyone who took part!
