Weekly News – 13.02.20

Area Athletics

Well done to all the children in Class 4 who competed in the area athletics in Studley this week. They behaved beautifully, gave their all in the various events and were a credit to the school. A big hearty congratulations to them all.

Please can we have all the athletics vests laundered and returned to school asap. Thank you.

World Book Day

World Book Day is Thursday 5 March. This year we are doing things slightly differently. On Wednesday 4 March, we have 2 authors coming in to school to work with all the children. On World Book Day itself, the Reception children will be dressing up as their favourite book character. For Years 1 to 6, instead of dressing up we will be making book hats in school. Further details of this will be given after half term.
