Headteacher’s message
I hope you all had a good half term break. We’ve got the growing bug in school this half term and have many projects starting that will continue in the summer term. Year 1 and Year 2 have already planted some bulbs which are growing beautifully, Forest school club will be composting and developing a leaf litter system and the school council will be planting a wildflower garden over the next few weeks. The children are really excited to be contributing to and developing the school environment.
Year 5 had a fantastic first day in London and I am looking forward to hearing about their second day when they return. Thank you to all the staff who have given up their time to take them.
Thank you to everyone who responded to the Safeguarding Squad online safety questionnaire. They will be reviewing the results over the next few weeks and using your feedback to plan their summer activities.

Thank you Lyreco!
We have had approx. 100 copies of a lovely book donated to us by Lyreco. The story is The Secret in the rainbow – a gift of positivity.
The story has been designed to help children build self esteem, learn to express their emotions appropriately and develop resilience.
