Active Week

The staff and children have all enjoyed a fun and energetic active week.  The children have demonstrated fantastic sporting skills and shown great sportsmanship across all events.  Some tried new sports, while others enjoyed showing off their skills in a sport that they already participate in.

The sponsored run ran smoothly throughout the day, one year group at a time. We are very proud of everyone, they all tried their best.  A big thank you to all of the parents who assisted marshalling the run. Sponsorship money can be bought to school with forms in an envelope to be given to the class teachers.  We will update you on the total amount raised after the half term holiday. 

Nursery sports day took place this week in the KS2 playground.  We welcomed lots of support from our families who encouraged the children in their races.  The children's faces said it all, so much fun was had in the egg and spoon races, hurdles, bean bag races and water bucket races.  More photographs can be viewed in our school gallery.

As sports day has taken place today, we will do a big Active Week report and share photographs after the half term holiday.

Author Visits

Monday 11th June, we will be visited by popular children’s author Steven Butler.  Steven's first novel, The Wrong Pong, was shortlisted for the prestigious Roald Dahl Funny Prize in 2009. Since then, he has written the bestselling Diary of Dennis the Menace fiction series, the picturebook Odd Dog, and The Nothing to See Here Hotel series, as well as hosting The Biggest Book Show on Earth for over 13,000 children and dozens of top-name authors. His latest book, Dog Diaries, is co-written with James Patterson.

You will be able to purchase signed copies of Stevens book after school.

Cath Howe will be visiting us on Thursday 14th June with her new book 'Ella on the Outside'. She will be running workshops for years 5 and 6.

She will be signing and selling her new book 'Ella on the Outside' after school. The book is suitable for for year 4 upwards.

Reviews:"Charming, subtle & incredibly – suddenly – moving, Ella On The Outside is one of those delightfully unclassifiable ‘thank god it’s in the world' books that @nosycrowbooks does so well.

"A fantastic, thought provoking and very realistic story about the challenges of school life"

Described as "A gripping story of lies, friendship, and blackmail" this is actually a real page-turner.
