The judges had a very difficult decision choosing the winner of both best daffodil and best pot. However, the eventual winners were…
Today we went to our school library for the first time. It was exciting, we got to look at all the different types of books and we saw the gorgeous The Very Hungry Caterpillar display. Mrs N chose a book First Time in Space. It was a lovely story and hopefully the children will be able to tell you…

P.E. Kits can be left in school during the half term. We will send them home at Halloween break. If your child hasn't yet brought one in, can they please do so before Friday. If you could make sure the children have some pumps/trainers in their kits that would be great. We need an alternative to th…
