I am pleased to hear that children are happy with their next teacher and I must say that Wednesday was a huge success.  Both staff and children have been really positive and I have heard comments like, 'my child is so happy and is looking forward to being in the next year...'

This is why we do transition like this so that children do not worry over the summer holiday about next year and how their teacher will be.  They know, have worked with, and had some fun.

The children have voted for the flag they would like to represent their house from September with the house captains.  Well done Luke R, St. George; Ray G, St. David; Finely L, St. Andrew; Sophie D, St. Patrick.  Each will receive 100 housepoints for a fabulous design.

Stars of the Week

Housepoint Winners

The winning house this week is: St George 🇬🇬 - well-done everyone.

Attendance

The winning class this week is: Y5 with 99.37% - a brilliant job 😊

Whole school attendance currently is: 94.44% which although isn't great, is above the national and the Swindon average, after two lots of COViD hitting our school.  Well done everyone for trying to be in school every day.

Doodle Maths

As you know we celebrate the top doodling class each week and they receive a trophy to have in their class over the following week.  This week's top doodling class is: Y2 & Y5 with 100% of the children staying in the green zone all week.

Way to go you guys, absolutely rocking it
