This week we have had a lovely week listening to everyone learning their festive music. Our crossing was patrolled by our Safeguarding Champions as they help to ensure school is safe for everyone. We also thoroughly enjoyed our visit from author, Luke Temple – so many children were enthused by his assembly and now have his exciting books to enjoy at home – we have a few copies in school too if anyone didn’t manage to buy a book.
Attendance winners this week are Mrs Evan’s and Mrs Sturrock’s class in Reception with 96% and in KS2, Mr Jackson’s class with 99% – well done!
BeSMART cup: This week’s winners are Reception for their superb assembly to parents last week and sitting so brilliantly in the Luke Temple assembly.
