Congratulations to the pupils who were recognised for their excellent work last week.  Keep it up!

Well done to the pupils who were awarded last week for displaying our school values.

Today, the children had a visit from Mr Gray, our chair of governors. He spoke to the children about what it was like to be a child during World War Two. The children thoroughly enjoyed it and his pictures were amazing!

Year 4 have had an extremely noisy afternoon making pan pipes that produce sounds at different pitches, depending on length. We had time to practice and perform short tunes on the outdoor ‘stage’.

Our film night is underway. The children are settled with their snacks and are looking forward to seeing Paddington on his adventures!  Thank you parents for your support.
