School Council are hosting an Egg-Mobile Competition.

Your challenge is to create a 'vehicle' that can transport an egg down a ramp and travel as far as possible. 

Only recycled materials can be used to create your egg-mobile. 

Prizes will be awarded for the egg-mobile that travels the furthest in KS1, LKS2, UKS2 and the best design from KS1, LKS2, UKS2 with a nature theme.

Bring in your egg-mobiles ready to race by Thursday 30^th March.

Year 1 have been learning about keeping their teeth clean. Here they are practising how to remove plaque and bacteria and to keep their smiles bright!

The following children have been awarded ‘Star Reader’ and enjoyed going to the ‘Starbooks’ cafe in the library to enjoy a drink and a treat as their reward. Fantastic!

Thank you to all parents who attended the reading workshop this week.

Please note that we do have Calpol in school to administer to children who may be poorly or in pain, however this is only in cases of emergency and cannot be given routinely. We would advise that if you know your child needs pain relief, where possible, please give your child some before school time.

If your child is unwell during the school day, we will call you to discuss further. Thank you for your support with this matter.

This term, every week we will be looking at children’s attendance and all those children who have 100% attendance for the week will be put in to a draw to win 10 Dojos. There will be one random winner from each class.  To ensure your child is entered into this weekly draw, all you have to do is make sure they are in school on time every day.  Thank you for your continued support.
