Holiday Adventures!

Whether it's taking part in our reading challenge, one of our list of holiday challenges or a visit to somewhere exciting, we love hearing about what our families have been up to during the school holidays...

School Uniform Appeal

Well done to the School Council for organising the collection of school uniform for the Foodbank's School Uniform Appeal and thank you to everyone who has sent in a donation. The Foodbank's volunteer's called by with their van and filled it up!! 

Holiday Challenge

Our children have worked really hard this term and many have succumbed to the horrible germs that have been floating around. Over the holidays, we would like you to have a good rest and lots of fun!

Sport Relief Superstars

These two kind-hearted Year 6 boys have been at school each morning this week at 8am, playing table tennis for an hour before school to raise money for Sport Relief! Well done, boys!

Pupil Parliament Visit London

Yesterday, Mrs Price and two members of the School Council spent the day in London with a group of schools from the local area. We had a great day visiting the Houses of Parliament, where we got to sit in the House of Lords and take part in a debate to discuss a possible new law, and sightseeing. We took in Downing Street, Horse Guard's Parade, Trafalgar Square and Buckingham Palace, where we saw Prince Charles whizzing by with all his escorts!

The children were a credit to the school and we are very proud of them.

Sponsored Non-Stop Read

And we're off...! 4H were first up this morning and started their first installment from their class book at exactly 9.00am, following a very enthusiastic countdown! The 'baton book' has been doing the rounds visiting each class, assembly and even the school office! Not a minute has passed without a story being shared!
