The weekly blog - keeping you up-to-date with school life; Stars of the Week; Housepoint winners and much more..
What an amazing end to the week! Our children were exceptional at the Cenotaph. They were courteous, kind, polite and above all, respectful. Thank you so much Oscar and Esther for taking on the responsibility of laying the school reef to remember all those that have died and thank you to the Y6 children who shared their heartfelt poems.
If you didn't hear them or see them, Father Roger will be displaying these in the church ready for the Sunday service which starts at 10:45.
If you haven't managed to listen to my podcast, you can access it here HTs Podcast - Homework I am going to be releasing another podcast throughout the term, the next being about reading for fluency.
I thought it would also be a lovely idea for the Head boy and Head girl to start thinking about creating a podcast of their own. Once they have learnt about them, they will have a go at recording their first one. I'll let you know when it will be released.
