Thursday 10th April 2025

This week, we have continued to make the most of the sunshine. We have enjoyed the first two of our inter-house football competitions in Years 3 and 4 but lots of other year groups enjoyed spectating and cheering the teams along too. Year 5 had a wonderful D&T day; using all of their new knowledge to design and build their own bridges. The children are so excited for their Easter break; we wish all of our families a relaxing and happy holiday. We look forward to welcoming you all back to school on Monday 28^th April.

Mr Banfield’s Class, they have shown resilience and determination in all aspects of their work. They have been amazing, completing tasks as asked and following the BeSMART code.
