Lunchtimes

I hope everyone enjoyed a lovely half term. The children looked so smart this morning in assembly and are ready for their next half term. We talked about how our attendance is slowly improving and how this half term is a perfect time to get back on track by attending school everyday.

I was pleased to see a number of our pupils in their Brownies and Rainbow outfits for 'Thinking Day' today. It's lovely to see so many of children committing to an out of school club and working hard to earn their badges.

This week, is a special week at school as we are holding our first ever safety week. It is called 'Safety Super Heroes - Speak up, Stay Safe!'. During the week, the children will be learning about the meaning of being safe and focusing on key areas such as the safe use of technology and safety on the roads. I hope that parents and children attend our 'Make Technology Safe' Fair on Thursday 26th February from 3pm in the hall. We are encouraging parents to bring their electronic devices (phones, laptops, iPads, gaming devices etc) to this event to get expert advice on how to make them safe for children to use. 

Lunchtimes

Just before half term, I spent a lovely lunchtime out playing with the pupils. It was an extremely cold day but the children were still enjoying themselves and the lunchtime supervisors were doing a great job with keeping them moving and entertained! The smiles show how much they love their time outside.
