Fri 08 Mar 2024

Thank you to the PTA for arranging this afternoon's Mother's day tea. It was lovely to see so many Mums and Nans. The photo booth and raffle were a real success.Our line dancers were amazing and choir started so well but the technical hitch let us down sadly.

I hope all our Mums and Nans have a wonderful Mother's day. I hope you enjoy your daffodils and are thoroughly spoilt. Thank you for all you do!

Have a wonderful weekend.

World Book Day Celebrations

Fri 08 Mar 2024

World book day started and ended a success! Thank you to Miss Entwisle for arranging and planning and to all staff and parents for selecting such fantastic outfits. It is a sight to see so many characters.The excitement throughout the day was electric.It is the excitement and love of reading that enables pupils over time to be life long readers and therefore learners.The Characters truly jumped off the page yesterday and came to life in so many ways.

They made potato heads,story plates, match box stories, and more.

Our Trunkies were launched in key stage 1 and EYFS ,so watch the space , or actually make the space for when these come home.
