House Challenge
Mini Olympics – Nursery to Year 3

Last year, we introduced the Junior Duke award, which supports children to develop life skills alongside confidence, independence and resilience. This year, we continue with the award thanks to the support of parents and carers. Today we held our “10 Minute Olympics” in which parents and carers came along to join their child in a range of sporting and athletic challenges! Our pupils in Years 4 to 6 experienced an afternoon of challenges to develop their own independence and resilience skills.
Thank you for your support. So far we have raised over £500. All money raised will all be spent on the Junior Duke award. A splendid day of fitness and fund raising was experienced by all.

Harvest Festival

Wrap around Care
Uniform
If you need any uniform for your child that is second-hand but in good condition, please come along to the main office and we will support you.
Please note that red fleeces can be worn as a coat but are not part of our official school uniform so are not to be worn in place of the school uniform. Please refer to the uniform list below.
Musician of the Week
Every week, we learn about a different musician in school, from different time periods, cultures and styles of music. This supports our knowledge our music through time and the artists, composers and musicians who created it. Next week we will be listening to the music of the Rock band, AC/DC.
