Kieran and Ned have been teaching us about having a positive mindset and how to stay resilient when faced with challenges.

As part of their Geography learning about the environment and pollution, Year 1 took part in a litter pick around our school grounds. 🌍♻️

They sorted and classified the litter they collected, learning about the important role of recycling workers. Most of the litter they found near ...the fences was plastic and the children were fantastic at identifying the different materials. Well done, everyone, for being environmental champions! 🌱👏

We can't wait to see our talented cast shine on stage! 🌟

As we get closer to the big day, please could children start to bring in any costume items they have. We would also appreciate lots of practice at home to ensure all lines are learnt, confidence is strong and we are ...performance-ready!

Sun, ice cream, and celebrating our amazing school community - the perfect Friday formula! ☀️🍦
