Monday 2nd – Friday 6th is Dyslexia Awareness Week. We all learned more about Dyslexia, and how to help others, at the assembly on Monday.

Wednesday 4th is NO PENS WEDNESDAY which means we try to do most of our work orally instead of writing.

Mrs Cross met with the Inclusive Schools Committee on Tuesday and spoke about how the children make the biggest difference to ensuring the school is inclusive of everyone. We checked our SWAY from last session and made a few changes. Please have a look.
