Each day will have a different theme:
Mixed up Monday – wear odd socks.
Team up Tuesday- walk to school with a friend or family member.
Wacky Wednesday- wear your hair in a wacky way or crazy style.
Think about it Thursday- think about ways we can improve our community.
Freestyle Friday- wear your own clothes to school.
We look forward to seeing everyone taking part in Walk to School Week.

March Home Circles @ 05.03.24
In our Home Circles this morning we all focused on two articles from the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child.
Some members of our Rights Respecting Schools Committee Group talked to us about the ABCDE of Rights and explained that this is an easy way to remember why the rights are important.
We also discussed World Water Day, which happens on 22nd March every year, and is a worldwide promise to work towards everyone around the world having access to clean, safe water.
Article 24 states that ‘every child has the right to the best possible health. Governments must provide good quality health care, clean water, nutritious food and a clean environment, and education on health and wellbeing so that children can stay healthy’.
Article 27 states that ‘every child has the right to a standard of living that is good enough to meet their physical and social needs and support their development. Governments must help families who cannot afford to provide this’.
