We would like to say a huge well done to all the new Reception children for completing their first full week of school. ⭐️
They have worked so hard and have settled in well to the new routines of school. We have loved getting to know everybody. We can imagine some big yawns tonight at bedtime! 🥱
Have a wonderful, well-deserved rest over the weekend and we look forward to hearing about your weekend on Monday.

Miss Lowe’s Year 2 Class BeSMART cup treat!

Tomorrow the children have decided for their BeSMART cup treat that they would like to bring in slippers to wear inside the classroom, one teddy and enjoy a mini film at the end of the day.

Thank you :) Miss Lowe

Book covers

We have a number of children who have not completed front covers for their books (drawing their favourite book characters and then writing what the story is)

Please can these be completed with children at home as soon as possible.

Many thanks
