This week, Year 2 had a wonderful time on their trip to WILD! Despite the down pours of rain, the children loved the animal show and the jaw dropping dinosaur show with an incredibly, huge dinosaur that walked around and came up close to the audience. Year 5 had a lovely time yesterday afternoon on their Nature Walk where they observed many attributes of our local area. They looked at many aspects including: the seasonal changes we could identify, Earth bound features and systems and the variety of settlements in our changing area.

This week, we also want to say a huge thank you to all of our families who have been able to donate to our Harvest collection. The photo below shows a few of our Fundraising Committee members with just some of the donations we have received. Our Harvest collection is going to a local food bank next week and we know will be so important in supporting many families in our local area.  Thank you. 

We hope you all have a lovely weekend and look forward to seeing you back in school on Monday! 😊
