KS2 really enjoyed hearing about the Invictus Games from one of our parents- Mr Rice - who competed in a range of events at the Games in The Netherlands in April. Well done Mr Rice! We feel really honoured that you shared your experience with us. @WeAreInvictus #WHCPE 💚💛🏆🥇

This year we marked #RemembranceDay2021 by gathering on the playground. Mrs Wood played the Last Post to start our silence and Reveille to mark the end of the silence. We all stood and remembered those who sacrificed themselves for our peace. #LestWeForget #whcremembers
