Friday 8th May

Good evening,

This week I’d like to celebrate our year six. I feel privileged to have had the chance to work with this year group this term. They have all worked incredibly hard and I am proud of every one of them. Next week, they have their SATs. We would like them to know that these tests do not define them and show how amazing they are at cricket, music, computing, art, design – the list is endless! I’d like them to make sure that they have a weekend off work (no homework) and enjoy a restful weekend. We look forward to supporting them all to shine as they finish their year and head to secondary school.

We’d like to celebrate the following achievers this week:

  • Little Owls and Tawny Owls – Millie for great tidying up and for trying garden peas. Khalil for working hard in his writing.
  • Kestrels – Jack for being a wonderful learning partner and explaining things so carefully.
  • Merlins – Sean for great focus on times tables and making excellent progress. Albi for great group working skills in Science.
  • Eagles – Mabel for her extended answers in reading. Isaac for really applying himself this week.

Well done to our handwriting hero Charlie D. Our reading raffle winners are: Isla, Boyd, James, Rohan, Emily, Darcy and Ava-May.

Have a lovely weekend everyone.

Spring Ceilidh Thanks

What a great night we had on Saturday!

Thank you to all who came and had a dance. I want to say a BIG thanks to everyone who helped to organise the event and everything they did on the night.

Also, a huge thank you to everyone who donated prizes to the auction. Everyone was extremely generous, and we made a little over £1500 on the auction alone! The final total of funds raised on the night was £2900!

It’s been a real team effort! Well done, all!
