A new term at Victoria School

As we enter the lead up to Easter the children are exploring the events that happen before Easter Sunday. This week, we went to St Peter’s for our Monday worship where we learnt about how Jesus met his disciples and asked them to follow him. The children were a bit unsure if they would leave everything behind and follow someone they didn’t know. We talked about what makes a good leader and a good follower. The children felt a leader needed to be kind and be able to explain things to others and a follower had to be good at listening and doing things they had been asked.

We celebrated World Book Day on Thursday where the children came in pyjamas as the theme was ‘Read Your Way’ and we wanted children to be comfortable for reading through the day. We promoted the love of reading through having a book swap, open library and lots of activities linked to books through the day.

We were also excited about our Stay and Play for new Nursery parents looking for a place to start from September 2025. This was a wonderful opportunity for the children and families to come and see our nursery. They got to play with the resources and families got a chance to meet the team. If you haven’t been able to attend any of our open events, please call the office on 01442 865781 or email admin@victoria.herts.sch.uk to book a tour of the nursery and school.
