Fri 02 Feb 2024What an amazing week at school. Y4 went to the Steam museum and then performed a wonderful assembly to parents - well done to the parents who still remember the song about rationing.
Next week is Mental Health Week. We would like to invite all children to 'Dress to Express' by wearing bright colours or clothes that express themselves to school. This will take place on Friday 9th February 2024 - there is no cost just a celebration of themselves to promote Mental Health.
Also on Friday 9th, we will be celebrating Chinese New Year. The lunchtime menu will change - see email sent out from the office. Children will still be able to order the baguette but there will be no chips.
