Principal's Message
This week has been a very challenging one with a number of staff and pupil absences due to the persistent situation with Covid. We would like to thank you for your patience and understanding with this. We are trying as hard as possible to keep learning and routines as consistent as we can.
Last Friday, as you know, we had the athlete Darren Challis visit the children. The children had so much fun joining in with the sponsored fitness circuit and were interested in asking Darren some really pertinent questions about his life experiences. He was certainly very inspiring in how he has overcome so many obstacles in life to be where he is today. Thank you to all of the families who raised so much sponsor money and, of course, a huge thank you to Mr Humphrey for organising this for our children.

I had so much fun participating in our circuit challenges last week. I had fun meeting our guest athlete Darren, I joined Apollo and Discovery Class to take part in our circuit challenges! I had to show the children my version of spotty dogs as well as my jumping and lunging skills.
I joined Discovery Class for Doh-Disco. I love the smell of the playdoh! I was using my paws to manipulate it. With Pazazz Class I have been learning all about teeth! The children compared my teeth to theirs...we found lots of similarities between them.
I am celebrating my second birthday on Saturday. Mrs Dunn tells me we have a special day planned. Keep an eye on my Google Classroom to find out what we get up to. I hope there are treats involved!
