On Friday 9th October we will be celebrating World Mental Health Day in school. The theme this year is ‘Togetherness’ and ‘You are not alone’ and each class will be completing a range of activities throughout the day.
During the day the children will also be taking part in the school fun run and we would like to ask the children to wear their yellow polo top with tracksuit bottoms to show our support towards ‘Hello Yellow’.
On Friday 25th September, we celebrated European Day Of Languages by exploring a country in each class. Please see our class blogs to see what we got up to!

During Covid-19 our Children and Young People may have been spending more time than usual online or on gaming devices.
It can be hard for parents, grandparents, teachers and carers to keep up with the latest games, apps and social media. To help with this, the NSPCC site http://www.net-aware.org.uk provides important information on the activities your children may be undertaking.
On the main screen there is a search box, simply key in the name of the particular game, App or social media and it will give you a summary of what it is, identify any risks and explain how you can take simple steps to make things safer.
It also includes useful information such as:
We said a fond farewell to one of our longest-serving staff members at the end of this term. Just like our Year 6 leavers, Mrs Wigham was presented with her very own hoodie, as well as many other gifts. She will be a great miss, although she has promised to come back and see us all in September. We wish her the very best for a long and happy retirement.
If you are missing not having School Sports Day this year, there is a Virtual School Games Day being held this Friday 3rd July. For more information about how to enter, visit our PE Blog. All bubbles in school are taking part, so join in the fun and help earn points for our school.
