Friday 17th April

Good evening,

We’ve had a busy week in school, getting the summer term into full swing! In assemblies, we have introduced our new value of friendship and thought about how we can be there for our friends and support them. We look forward to exploring friendship in more detail through the term.

We have thought about the learning behaviour of resilience this week. We hope that you will see us wear stickers when we have shown resilience through our work and play.

Well done to our achievers this week:

  • Little Owls and Tawny Owls – Nimrit for using her initiative and being organised and Zachary for fantastic reading and always reading at home.
  • Kestrels – James for wonderful resilience and Evangeline for always trying so hard.
  • Merlins – Molly for positivity and enthusiasm and Toby for focus and effort.
  • Eagles – Jack, Ava-May, Wren and Ella for a mature attitude to learning and Bran for excellent progress in SPAG.

Our handwriting heroes are Ellyann, Jens, Tilly and Finn – well done! Congratulations to our reading raffle winners: Alice Br, Isla, Hunter, Matea, George, Rebecca, Jess, Etienne, Alice Be, Alice H, Rohan and Hettie.

We have also set up our clubs for the summer term. Please encourage children to attend and support the young leaders as they share their own talents and strengths.

Have a lovely weekend.

Mrs L Edgerton
