Wickhambrook pupils benefit from enrichment week

An opportunity to give primary school pupils the chance to experience activities they missed because of the pandemic has been hailed a success.

Pupils at Wickhambrook Primary Academy last week enjoyed an enrichment week which saw them take part in everything from archery to creating a new school song.

Headteacher Hannah Tyzack said: “After the disruptions caused by the pandemic, we were delighted to organise an enrichment week to give pupils a chance to experience many different activities and skills. It was a fantastic week of fun and enriching activities and the pupils seemed to really enjoy it.”

Pupils were given the chance to take part in everything from breadmaking to geocaching during a special activity day run by Abbeycroft Leisure.

The fun then moved inside with a music day where pupils had the chance to compose a song and then perform a whole school music celebration on the field. An enriched sports activity day and class enrichment activities were also held throughout the week.

Hannah added: “We would like to thank everyone who supported the week including all our outside partners who attended and helped make it such a success.”
