It was lovely to enjoy some sunshine this week, and we hope you were able to make the most of it.
On Wednesday, Year 4 had a fantastic time visiting the London Transport Museum. This visit provided an engaging opportunity for the children to learn about the history and development of transport. I would like to say well done to all of the children for their impeccable behaviour during this trip; they were excellent role models for their peers.
Looking ahead, we have lots of events scheduled over the next few weeks. Please remember to keep an eye on the key dates listed below.
Next week, we will be celebrating the 80th anniversary of VE Day, which we are keenly looking forward to.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Sports Stars
George's rugby season has culminated in a fantastic achievement: the Under 10s Spirit of Rugby Award! Out of approximately 30 children, George's commitment to the sport and his unwavering support for his team throughout the past six months of tournaments have been recognized.
George, your hard work and dedication truly shine.
Well done!
Adam B and Stanley M spotted Mr Dix at the Mote Park Parkrun in Maidstone this past Saturday morning!
The boys had a great time at the event and are hoping to make the Parkrun a regular part of their spring and summer routine to help with their cricket and maintain their fitness for the upcoming football season.
Online Safety
Staying safe on our roads isn’t just a skill — it’s a lifelong habit. It is crucial to learn key strategies for helping children navigate streets safely and confidently, from practising journeys together to teaching them how to choose the safest crossing points.
We’ve collaborated with THINK! to offer real-world advice on issues like the dangers of parked vehicles, reversing cars and mobile phone distractions — it’s an invaluable tool for parents and educators who want to help young people travel independently without compromising their safety.
