Our recent football and zumba sponsored event raised the fantastic amount of £4867.55. This amount will go a long way in helping to fund new playground equipment, which will benefit all pupils. More details of this in due course.
A huge thank you from the GFG and the school. Your support is very much appreciated.
Thank you.
Thank you so much to everyone who brought in medals, cups, rosettes, certificates and more, to show us what a talented school we have. Learning does not stop at the school gates and it is so important to see the achievements out with the classroom too. Well done, everyone and we will start a new wall in Term 1 next session.
This week’s P1-3 Starwriters were Pippa Lee, Lacey Ferguson, Anaya Rana,Amr El Zanati, Alfie Robison and Christian Hamilton. Maths awards were presented to Sean Hollywood, Aidan Wyllie, Kyan Gallagher, Sophe Paterson, Rhys McClune and Jayden Collins. A gold card was awarded to McKenzie Anderson for super work in listening and talking this session, as demonstrated by hs excellent class solo talk about Rainforests. Our final photo shows not only excellent writing but also super illustrations from Christian Hamlton. Well done to all!!
This week the Library and Literacy Groups joined up to tidy the library and enjoy some paired reading outside in the courtyard in the sunshine.
