Headteacher’s message

We have had a super week to end the half term.  Well done to all of the children who have represented school in sporting events this week: swimming, cricket and football. They’ve demonstrated great skill and team work.

The happy lunchtime zones have been very well attended this week. KS1 have had opportunity to take part in activities including bubbles, cricket, hula hoop challenges and relays and with KS2 children bubbles, basket ball shoot outs and tennis have been very popular activities.

Well done to everyone who received who has received a Headteacher’s Award this week, I am very proud of them all:

Plants Lesson – 25/05/2023

Base 3 explored Forest School this morning to learn about trees, their leaves and some children took some bark rubbings too. This was a great way to learn about the different types of trees we have around school.
