We are very sad to be saying a fond farewell to Miss Connelly, who has been teaching Class 5R while Miss Taylor has been recovering from her operation. She has done a truly wonderful job and will be greatly missed by both the children and staff!
At the same time, we are delighted to be welcoming Miss Taylor back after the half term and look forward to her return 😊

The children are loving the body boards!
They have been incredibly creative, transforming them into dodgems, racing cars and even imaginary animals!
It’s been wonderful to watch their ideas come to life through play. Not only are the boards great fun but they also encourage collaboration and support the development of gross motor skills, helping to build strength, balance and coordination in an engaging and playful way!

We had a lovely afternoon in the sun! ☀️

Our fantastic Year 3 prefects recently presented to Mrs Riley and Miss Forrest, sharing all the positive things happening in their classrooms around behaviour and attitudes 👏
We are so proud of the prefects for being such brilliant role models and for showing how our school values are lived out every day. It was wonderful to hear how Year 3 children are applying these values to their learning so consistently 📚✨
Keep up the amazing work, Year 3! 💙
