The day everyone have all been waiting for… fire lighting day! The children made their own small fire. They used a flint and steel and, with a little bit of practise, soon got the hang of it and could light their fire using the sparks. We also had a bigger group fire and s’mores and hot chocolate were enjoyed by all!

Fiji's trip to the London Eye
Fiji's trip to London Eye!
Fiji had an amazing day yesterday on our trip to London! We got to travel by bus and tube, and spot all the London landmarks we have learnt about this year. Children were all amazingly behaved and members of the public commented on how well behaved the children were. They should all be very proud! Everyone was so excited to finally ride the London Eye, and it was a brilliant experience for everyone involved.Weekly Newsletter - 7/7/23

Pupil Parliament would like everyone to wear orange (or a bright colour) on Thursday 13th July to raise vital funds for patients and their families at St Francis Hospice. Any donations are warmly welcomed and staff are encouraged to participate.

Please ensure that your child wears the correct school uniform to school every day. All children should wear: A bottle green sweatshirt or cardigan, collared white t-shirt, and black trousers or tailored skirt.

If you need support with uniform costs please speak to the office as you may be eligible for uniform vouchers if you have not already received these this school year.
