Sports Day

We had a successful Sports Day on Friday and the rain even stayed away! The children enjoyed taking part in the various sporting activities and demonstrated excellent team work and ‘sportspersonship’ – well done everyone! Thanks to those who came and supported our Sports Day, the children always appreciate the encouragement. Many thanks also to the parents and carers who volunteered their time to help classes with their activities – we really appreciate your support.

Walk to School Week

Today marks the start of Walk to School Week 2016. This week, we are encouraging families to actively travel to school whether it be by walking, cycling, scooting or even by parking further away from the school and walking part of the way. Each morning, classes will record how children have travelled to school with the winning class being announced at this week’s assembly. On Wednesday, our Junior Road Safety Officers and a special visitor, ‘Speeding Ted’, will be at the MUGA entrance to greet children. If your child is actively travelling to school on this day, please remind them to come via the MUGA entrance!

Happy Feet-Day!

As part of Walk to School Week, we are inviting children to come to school on Friday 20th May wearing the shoes they feel happiest in for a £1 donation (no high heels or Heelys, please!). We are looking forward to seeing lots of ‘Happy Feet’ on Friday!
