Big Family Breakfast - Friday 15th March at 8am

 

In addition to Red Nose Day, we would also like to invite you to a Big Family Breakfast which will start at 8am.  There will be bacon and sausage sandwiches (veg options available too), hot cross buns and tea and coffee.  It would be lovely to see as many of you there as possible.   

World Book Day and our Pop Up Bookshop

 

Thank you to The Children's Book Project for donating all of the books each child brought home yesterday.  There was so much choice that it was so difficult to decide!  Our children took part in a range of activities and immersed themselves in books, books and more books.  

Attendance Matters

This week, our whole school attendance has been 93.2% which is below the national average set by the government.  The following classes: Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 all got over 96% so will enjoy an extra playtime; well done!  Don't forget, any child whose attendance is 96%+ will have a raffle ticket entered into the draw to win £50 at the end of this half term - you have to be in it to win it!  Let's see if we can get 96%+ for all of our classes next week.

And finally...

We hope you have a brilliant weekend and that the weather picks up a bit - we deserve some sunshine!  Mrs Wierzbianski is going to spend Mother's Day with her daughter, Mrs Shirra is celebrating her daughter's birthday, Mr Watson is celebrating Mother's Day and Ms Pascoe is watching Gladiators!  We will see you bright and early on Monday morning where our doors will open at 8:40am ready for learning to begin at 8:45am.
