Friday 23rd March-During the afternoon pupils will take part in our Sports Relief sponsored run.
Sport Relief Reminder
Just a reminder that Sport Relief is just around the corner. Children from Reception to Year 6 will be completing a mile to raise money for Sport Relief on Friday 23rd March. Letters and sponsor forms were sent home before the half term holidays. Last time, thanks to your generosity, we raised the massive amount of £1800! Let's see if we can beat it this year.
Please note: All after school sports clubs have finished now for this term.

Attendance Update
Well done to Canada class who had the highest attendance in Y5&6 at 98.2%. Wales had the highest attendance in LKS2 at 100% and have earned themselves a cupcake party. Well Done. Australia had the highest attendance in KS1 at 97.6%. Well done to them! The overall attendance is still below our target of 96%.
Attendance winners treat. Canada class had a wonderful time at Jump Evolution on Wednesday as they won the highest overall attendance for the first half of the spring term. Who will win it next? The only way to help your class win is to come to school everyday!
Have a fabulous weekend.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs L Smith
