Then the week has culminated in our much loved RFP, which is taking place as I write. It's always a joy to see the school teaming with families, all here for a common purpose, which is to share the joy of reading with their children.

In our worship sessions this week we have explored an important part of the Christian calendar, Pentecost. Our clergy team began this on Monday with a visual display of having the Holy Spirit within us which helps us in difficult times. Today we spoke about the part of the Bible that tells us about this time and the children took time to reflect on the following message:

One of the Year 3 JTA's said the following: " A lot of us walk to school. One girl in our class lives far away so she drives but this week she parked away from school. I have also enjoyed this week because it means there will be less pollution in the car and fumes too."

The intent of our sports/house day is to organise an inclusive event, ensuring that children are able to compete at their level and to also collaborate in mixed ability events. We do have qualifiers for medal events in PE to ensure that the most able are challenged in those events but we also have less competitive races so that everyone is able to participate.

Throughout our curriculum we have a focus on personal best to ensure that all children can recognise their progress. Although we recognise that competing against others can provide motivation, we want them to develop the determination to overcome challenges that lead to self improvement.
