Well done to this week’s winners of the Ruby Reward Table for being excellent pupils in our dinner hall.
The pupils in Marneil House enjoyed taking part in making pancakes together. They practiced important life skills by learning to read and follow a simple recipe, carefully measuring and mixing the ingredients. The pupils also demonstrated good hygiene by washing their hands before preparing the food and keeping their workspace clean. Throughout the activity, they were reminded about safety when cooking, such as being careful around hot surfaces and equipment. This hands-on experience helped develop their independence, teamwork, and confidence in the kitchen.
On Thursday we will be holding World Book Day 2026.
Please can pupils return their stick competition and any books they wish to add to the book swap by Wednesday 4th March.
All pupils will take part in World Book Day class activities throughout the day.
Pupils are not asked to dress up.
Thank you
