Thank you to all of the adults who came in for the Year Three showcase. We hope you have learnt lots about South America and enjoyed having a go at writing your own Limerick. You all did a fantastic job during the quiz. Well done to the winning team ‘The Three Musketeers’.
Reception Role Play

Remembrance Service
Mr Such has kindly delivered a Remembrance Service this morning to remember those who have been hurt or died in wars past and present. It was a lovely ceremony in which poems and prayers were observed, children also took part in a minute silence.
Mental Health workshop for Year Six
Year Six have been visited by a representative of ‘Mind’, a charity who help to support children’s understanding of mental health and wellbeing.
