Hello, my name is Charlotte and I am a member of the school council. Our school received an award on Friday and this is what it was for:

Investing in children is where a group of people come in and listen to what the children in school have to say about our different programmes we run and what we would then like to do. For example our bullying monitors who have been trained. This is to help children feel like their opinions and voices are being heard. 

This is us receiving our award, we are so proud of our school!

Hello, Jacob from Class Two here! We had a super fun day at Locomotion. We looked at the trains and learned all about George and Robert Stephenson. We went on some of the trains and looked at the engine and discovered a train that didn’t even look like a train, some builders were fixing it! We got to look at the Locomotion 1 and the Rocket! We touched the miner’s lamp and talked about his house and the way he lived. It was such a sunny day and we had so much fun in the play area too!

Thank you to Locomotion who organised an amazing day for all of our children! It is free entry across the summer, please check out the website and see if any fun events are on! Such a wonderful resource so close to our homes.

Just a word of warning to parents of children who have access to Snapchat on their smartphones. This is a recent BBC News article about Snapchat Map updates :

“Snapchat map update raises child safety worries”

Please read the article:

Please make sure your children are being safe online, we must be diligent in this.

Again, thank you to our parents for your continued support.

Scoop came to visit our school and reminded us to be sensible dog owners! We must pick up after our dogs and make sure they are well looked after. Micro chipping pets is also very important!

Thank you to the Civic Pride team and Scoop!

A wonderful trip took place last week! We knew it was going to be a great week as Heidi exclaimed as we were leaving the ferry in Calais, “I just know we’re in France, I can smell the fresh baguettes!” 

A HUGE Congratulations to our amazing Year 3/4 team in last Wednesday’s athletics competition! They came FIRST! A real achievement at which they should all be very proud of.
