On Tuesday, we celebrated Sports Day. It was wonderful to see all the children taking part and demonstrating their resilience and team spirit. Well done to all of the children for taking part. Congratulations to Desert who won for EYFS/KS1 and Polar who won for KS2. Thank you to everyone who was able to attend and support these events, the children loved to see you and be cheered on.
Our new Early Years children have visited us this week for their first stay and play session. They were full of questions, curiosity and fun - they really enjoyed playing and getting familiar with the site. We look forward to seeing them again next Thursday for their second stay and play session. We will be having 2 transition sessions for the whole school later this term - at that time we will let you know the staffing for these classes.
If you are attending and traveling to the school by car, please can we remind you to ensure you park in a safe and sensible place. If you park in the Memorial Hall car park please can we remind you that you should only be parking in official marked bays to ensure that everyone is able to enter and leave the car park safely. We would appreciate your support in ensuring this happens.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend and enjoy the sunny weather.

With soaring temperatures over the coming weeks, we would like to remind you of our commitment to sun safety and hydration at school. We encourage all children to come to school prepared for outdoor activities by applying sunscreen before school and bringing a named hat. Children will be encouraged to wear hats during outdoor play and learning.
Equally important is staying hydrated! Please ensure your child brings a full, reusable water bottle to school each day. We will encourage regular sips throughout the day and provide opportunities for refills.
