Achievement Assembly
This week, a few year groups have been off on their Autumn Nature Walk adventures. They have enjoyed looking for signs of Autumn and spotting different elements of nature; from squirrels and ducks, to oak trees and holly. On Friday, Year 6 will be visiting RAF Cosford for a workshop on the Blitz. This will really help bring their History learning to life.
Over 100 children entered our Autumn colouring competition and it was clear to see how much time and effort that went into the final pieces. It was incredibly difficult to choose between them all but some of the winners chosen were Everly, Lillie, Jazper, Hebe and Fynn. Well done to everyone else that entered too! Some of the winners, and the winning masterpieces can be see in today’s achievement photo.
After such a long and busy half-term, we just want to say a big thank you to all of our families for your support and commitment to your children’s learning and ensuring that they have had a wonderful start in their new year groups. We hope you all have a happy and restful half-term and we look forward to seeing you all on Monday 4th November.
