Here are our new School Council members for this year!

They had their first meeting with Mrs Bagshaw on Wednesday and were all very excited and full of ideas.

We talked about the role and responsibilities of being a School Councillor and their first task was to feedback to Mrs Cooper about the prizes for Silver Star winners (luckily there were lots of ideas including mini fridges and cricket bats)!

This sounds fabulous!

We’d like to thank everyone for their support and kind comments at this difficult time. Despite searching throughout the night there were no sightings of Cinnamon. However, we have received some very useful information from local residents and now believe that Cinnamon is likely living in and around the Humber Brook on our northern border.

As a result of this new information, we will be conducting a mass search of the area this evening with the help of a local thermal camera drone operator and the keepers from Exotic Zoo who have kindly volunteered their help. We are getting lots of offers of help from local residents and we would like to ask you to keep you eyes peeled and ring 07908726240 if you spot anything. Cinnamon is very timid and any attempt to capture her by untrained individuals could result in driving her further away from her home - which we want to avoid.

Cinnamon is greatly loved and missed by her keepers who are continuing to give extra care to her parents and brother who remain at Hoo Zoo.

Statement: Capybara Escape

UPDATE: Please ring 07908726240 with any sightings between the hours of 5pm and 9am.

On Friday 14th September, our beloved Capybara, Cinnamon, escaped from her habitat and entered the woodlands within the zoo grounds. On Saturday evening she managed to get beyond the zoo’s perimeter fence and was spotted on a nearby road.

Unfortunately, we haven’t had any further sighting of Cinnamon since Saturday evening, despite having teams working around the clock to locate her. It is likely that Cinnamon is in the vicinity of the zoo, The Humbers and surrounding fields where there is ample food and plenty of ponds.

We have reported the escape to the council in line with the conditions of our zoo license.

If members of the public sight the animal they should call the zoo immediately on 01952 677 917 or 07908726240 if between the hours of 5pm and 9am. Please do not report sightings on Facebook as they may not be seen.

Under no circumstances should a member of the public try to capture the animal by themselves.

Although Capybara are generally friendly and inquisitive animals, the animal should not be approached as it could become unpredictable if alarmed or cornered.

Cinnamon has a fantastic bond with her keepers and it is likely that she can be encouraged back to her habitat with no physical intervention.

Please wish us all the very best for the safe and swift return of Cinnamon. We appreciate all of your support in finding her.

Well done to our fabulous Year Three and Foir Stars of the Week and Postcard winners - thank you to Miss Brown for the brilliant photos!

It was wonderful to welcome the children back to school today!

Thank you to all of our amazing staff for making the day work so smoothly, from guiding our youngest children to their new classrooms to the small things like helping others locate pegs, and guiding them around the building! We are so lucky to have such a fabulous team!

It was amazing to hear the children talk about their holidays, and show their friends things like the hidden pockets in their backpacks and the patterns on the soles of their new shoes - they were full of smiles and excitement!

It is always a big day for the children to come back after a long time away, and they were so brave - we’re so proud of them!
