Glebe House children enjoyed considerable success at the local schools competition on the Sandringham Estate on Saturday 15th March. Individual pride of place went to the medal winners:

1st places 

Tom Sowerby (U7boys) 

Laura Berns (U11 Girls)

2nd places

India Sharland (U7 girls)

Jonny Chalk (U7 boys)

Patrick Webb (U11 boys)

3rd places

Oliver Searle (U7 boys)

Toby Hands (U9 boys)

 M-J Wright (U11 boys)

All children performed creditably, finishing in the top half of the field in all events. The team performance of the morning was undoubtedly in the under 7 boys where our four "counters" finished 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th!

Four members of Division VI (Freddie Davison, Olly Flux, Patrick Webb and M-J Wright) travelled to Nottingham over the Easter Weekend with West Norfolk Rugby Club under 11's. They were playing in a tournament to qualify for a final at Twickenham as a curtain raiser to the Guinness Premiership Final on May 31st. In the Semi Final the Glebe boys scored six of the eight tries as they beat the Leigh from Leeds, hence securing the place at Twickenham! 

Congratulations to Jack Gillett (Drama), Pandora Layton (Fishmongers'  Art) and Milly Williamson (Art) who all gained scholarship awards to Gresham's School for entry in September 2008. Jack is looking forward to his final acting opportunity at Glebe next term starring in Oscar Wilde's  "The Importance of Being Earnest."

Pandora and Milly's work will be a major part of the School Art  Exhibition in mid June.

We were also delighted to hear of the success of former pupil, Sophie Orme (sister of James, Division VI) who won a major academic scholarship, also to Greshams.  

On Thursday 13th March the children in pre prep once again visited Park Farm in Snettisham courtesy of Mrs and Mrs Stanton.  It is a hugely popular trip and luckily the weather this year was kind to us.  The children enjoyed egg collecting and feeding the newborn lambs and goats whilst being expertly guided by Trevor the farm manager. 

We even got to meet the farm tortoises who had woken early from their winter hibernation! 

The children returned to school excited and eager to talk about, draw and write about the things they had seen and done.  The children in the Reception class learnt how to make egg and cress sandwiches using the eggs they had collected and the cress they had previously grown in class. 

Once again the children were a credit to their teachers and parents and to Glebe House School.   Many thanks go to Mrs and Mrs Stanton from all of us.

Spring Week in the Pre-Prep.

The week beginning Monday 10th March saw spring descend on the Pre-Prep. The week was jam packed with special events as well as children doing their own spring studies in class.
