Highlights of the week
The sunshine has certainly brought a fresh energy to the school this week! The children have been busy exploring our new playground equipment and learning the art of French skipping and Cat’s Cradle after an assembly demonstration. Looking ahead, we are bracing ourselves for some high-speed fun next week with the arrival of twelve new space hoppers. With the funds raised last week, we will be looking at some larger equipment for the children. It would be great to add a new trim trail or climbing frame. In sports news, a huge congratulations to the boys' football team for their stellar performance last Friday; they have officially secured a spot in the league play-offs! We are also rooting for our girls' football team as they head into three league matches this afternoon—good luck, team! Wishing you all a relaxing weekend and a lovely Bank Holiday.
Year 5 have been taking part in their Charanga music lessons this half term and been learning to play and sing The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Here’s 5B performing their version!
The newsletters are also accessible on the news section of our school website.
