Weekly News & Updates

The children have had a busy week again. The production of Pinocchio was a great success and inspired some fantastic writing from the children. On Thursday, Saul from The Junk Orchestra, gave the children a fabulous demonstration of how recycled materials can be used to make amazing sounds. Then to end the week, Councillor Pat Murray came to visit our School Council and talk to them about Thursday’s election, where the school was used as a polling station. The children have really enjoyed the insight into local democracy that they have had from the Mayor and now Councillor Murray. Our Governors also visited for the day on Wednesday. Having had a talk on Safeguarding, they looked in on Read Write Inc sessions and had lunch with the pupils. They then watched part of the Early Years music show. It is great to see the Governors getting back to being part of the everyday life of the school as well as providing that strategic oversight.

No Clubs Next Week: 
There will be no clubs running during the last week of the half term. Clubs will start again on Monday 22nd April.

Next Week Events: 
On Tuesday we have Jeremy Strong – the celebrated children’s author – visiting the school to work with pupils across Key Stage 2. He will be going to three schools in the locality: Brookside Junior and Hilldene as well as us. On Wednesday morning we have the usual dance, choir and cheerleading assembly. Later in the day our children will be taking part in a Cross Country Inter House competition. Thursday sees the return of the Road Safety theatre group, who are coming to distribute leaflets and information to the Year 3&4 pupils. Don’t forget that we are closed on Friday as it is a bank holiday!

Sharing Assembly: 
We look forward to welcoming the parents of the dance, choir and cheerleading clubs to their assembly performance on Wednesday 27th March @ 9.05am
