Open Evening 2023
What an amazing event this was. Thank you to everyone, pupils, staff, governors, families, the police, NHS and anyone else who contributed. There were hundreds of people present on the evening, taking part in the many curriculum and enrichment activities : Diwali dancing, a Song for Peace, an anti-bullying presentation, science, phonics, music, art, maths, table tennis and gymnastics. It certainly showed our school off in a very positive light 😊
Anti-Bullying week
This week was Anti-bullying Week where we were stressing the importance of making a noise about bullying so that if someone is being bullied, a trusted adult or friend can help to sort it out. Don’t suffer bullying in silence… tell someone and STOP bullying happening. KS2 worked with a drama company on the practical application of anti-bullying strategies. Year 5 also took part in some workshops after the excellent performance.
Harvest Festival
The house captains and Y6 school councillors led the assembly in KS2 on the last day of the half term. As you can see the children generously donated food for the local food bank. The assembly emphasised the importance of being thankful for what we have and ensuring that we say thank you frequently. The Y2 councillors and special guests helped Mrs Gadsby with the younger pupils’ assembly.
Thank you to everyone for their contributions.
