Friday 4th April
Good evening,
Thank you to all that joined us for our sharing assembly today – it was lovely to hear what Little Owls and Tawny Owls enjoy about school. They were all very brave to stand up and talk in front of a full school hall. Thank you to the team who spent time to pay tribute to mothering Sunday.
Well done to our school netball team who represented our school at the CSS local tournament. They worked together as a team and showed excellent respect to the umpires and opposition.
Thank you to all that helped on our combined Merlin and Kestrel school trip. I have heard wonderful stories about pizza making and Viking style pots. Members of the public have shared how our polite and well-mannered our children were. Well done to all involved.
I hope that you enjoy the sunshine this weekend.
All the best.
Mrs L. Edgerton
