Working with Innovation X and the SDG Workshop

Five of our year 6 children worked with Evo Hannan from Innovation X on a very inspiring and motivating workshop working on the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals). These are a collection of 17 interlinked objectives designed to serve as a "shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future." The children are working on a project that will be showcased at BETT in January.

The children worked really hard throughout the day and were a real asset to the school.

Roads around School

Please can you remind your child to look carefully when they are crossing the roads around school, especially if they are walking to or from school alone.

Just a reminder that even though Kingston Avenue is part of the School Streets, cars can still drive down it and so children should still be careful when walking down it.

Birthday Treats/Allergies

As you may be aware, we have a number of children in school who have a wide variety of allergies. Please can we ask that if you wish to bring in a birthday treat for your child's class that this is not food related. Some examples of birthday treats that are acceptable are pencils, books for the class, a small wet play game or bookmarks.

Thank you for your continued support with this.

On a similar note, please rememer that we are a nut free school and your child's packed lunch should reflect this.
