This week's introduction from Mrs Sargent:
Attendance celebration treat-Summer term 2021.
The countdown is on: after half term we will be launching our attendance competition. Anyone who is in school 100% of the time in the final half term will be invited to our fantastic attendance festival during the final week of term. Come on everyone - you can do it !!
walking superpowers
Did anyone manage to improve how many days they walked to school this week? Walking has so many benefits from physical to mental wellbeing; aiding concentration and creativity and creating safer, less polluted and more welcoming streets. All that makes for a happy, healthy child set up for success in and out of the classroom. How many times did you walk to school this week? Can you improve this after half term?
Let us share some of our fantastic learning this week:
