A small group of children from Year 4 and Year 5 have joined with pupils from another local primary school and secondary school to visit Spain to learn about the impact of climate on crops and to learn Spanish and about the Spanish culture. They travelled to Spain last Sunday and are due to return today. We are looking forward to a more detailed update from them next week, but are thrilled that they have enjoyed a range of activities including spending the day in a partner Spanish school and visiting a farm and the ‘Sea of Greenhouses’. A huge thank you to the staff who organised this visit and gave up their time to accompa?ny the children to Spain.

Thank you very much to everyone who supported our Bank Holiday Sports Festival. It was lovely to see so many people taking part in tennis, boccia, box?ercise, table tennis and kick boxing. A very big thank you to our PTA, who raised over £900. Through plant sales and Green Day contributions, the allotment team raised £800 towards the allotment learning shelter. We are hoping to have this installed in August.

Thank you for all of your generous donations of plants and money for our school environment and the allotment. Thank you also for supporting the children to wear green clothes to school– they all looked wonderful. It has been an exciting week in school with lots of learning about the environment and some additional visits to the school allotment to help with the planting and harvesting.
The Year 2 children thoroughly enjoyed a visit from an author this week. Shivani Carter visited school and inspired the children by reading her insect themed books including The Stubborn Caterpillar. The children enjoyed learning about the characters Benny, Max and Suzie from Shivani’s books.
To help mark the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe day, we are inviting the children to come to school dressed in red, white and / or blue next Thursday. (Dressing in these colours is optional so please do not spend money buying any new clothing for your child– if they don’t already have any red, white or blue clothes they can wear their school uniform.) The children will be learning about this special occasion and we will have a special street party school lunch– more information will be sent out to parents. Thank you for your ongoing support.
