Year 3/4 Harvest Assembly
Thu 13 Oct 2016This week we celebrated Harvest at the Year 3/4 Class Assembly. Many parents were in attendance and it was fantastic that they came into the classroom for a coffee and biscuit with their children afterwards. Thank you all for the wonderful amount of food that you kindly donated. It will be given to our local food banks shortly and as you know it is all for a worthwhile cause.

Reading Workshop
Tue 11 Oct 2016I thank all the parents who attended the reading workshop in great numbers. It was a very well attended event and hopefully useful to you for supporting your child at home with reading. We will run another session for parents after half term on supporting your child to read and developing vocabulary.
Please visit our Gallery Page in the Class Pages section to see the training video shown to the parents in the reading workshop.

MacMillan Balloon Race
Fri 30 Sep 2016Macmillian Coffee Morning & Balloon Race
The Macmillan coffee morning and balloon race was amazing. Thank you to all the parents, grandparents, little brother and sisters ands babies who joined us in big numbers to raise money for such an important charity. The staff team worked so well together to make it so meaningful for the community and the children. The balloon release was a very special moment. The ballooons went soaring into the sky- hopefully across the North sea! We shall see where they return from. Thank you everyone who made the morning so spectacular.
