Congratulations to our star pupil who was a awarded a special ‘Do the Right Thing’ award at the Town Hall on Friday evening. He has been recognised for his resilience and courage and we are all very proud of him. 

Today we said a fond farewell to Billy and wished him well on his exciting new chapter. We also warmly welcomed Ryan who will become our sports coach in school and will take over much of the PE teaching. 

Black History Month

We are celebrating Black History Month and our children have been thinking about what it means to them to be ‘Standing Firm in Pride and Power.’ This is what some of them said:

TORRI – Me showing confidence in myself.

SCARLETT – Bring proud of who I am.

DAVID – Speaking up when something is not fair.

VICTORIA – Showing the world what I am capable of.

Empowering words from our children. The future is bright indeed!

Do you love autumn?? The weather has been lovely lately and we are all enjoying the autumn light and seasonal changes. Adam the school frog had definitely grown, might this be our first year with frog spawn? The children are enjoying the play equipment at breaktime and playing happily together.

We were so excited today for another FREE book giveaway thanks to Miss Davis. In Year 3, we had to have a bit of free reading time so we could get cracking on our brand new books. Every child in the school will be taking home two books to keep. 

Miss Eccleston really enjoyed Anna’s persuasive letter that she wrote for homework last week. Well done, Anna. 

Author visit – it was wonderful to welcome author Joshua Seijal in to school today. Joshua performed some of his poems to the children and gave us all some creative inspiration. 

Scout the reading dog is BACK. We are so happy to see her and read her some of our favourite stories.
