Weekly Update ☀️
We hope that everyone has enjoyed the glorious weather this week and not been too hot! The children have enjoyed playing the wide range of outdoor activities at lunchtimes and playtimes with their friends, made even better in the sunshine!
The children have had a super week, with another visit from our PCSO (PC Allinson), who conducted workshops on online safety for Years One to Six. The sessions were very informative and really made the children think about how to keep themselves safe online.
Our Reception children enjoyed a super day at Big Sheep, Little Cow on Tuesday. They loved seeing all the farm animals.
There was a lovely smell of homemade baking on Wednesday when the Year 3 children made scones as the focus for their Design and Technology unit.
Our Chocolate Day is next Friday. On this day, children can come in non-uniform in exchange for bringing some chocolate or sweet items into school, which we will use at the Summer Fayre (which is on the 2nd of July).
Hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Attendance Matters
It is so important that we see your children in school every day as any missed days means missed learning.
There are our attendance figures for this week:
Overall 93.5%
Well done to the 2 classes who got 96% or above, and to Class 103 for having the best attendance this week.
This half term we want to aim for more classes to be in the green (96% or above).
Each class has now allocated an Attendance Ambassador who are role models for promoting positive attendance in their class.

*On non- P.E. days, children should be wearing full school uniform, including black school shoes.
*Children with pierced ears should only wear a small stud for school and these should be removed for P.E. lessons please.
