What an amazing way to end our half term!  This week, we've had our first set of Enrichment days; a wonderful House team singing competition (narrowly won by Ireland); two of our Year 6 pupils were presented with our Platinum School Games Award at a very special awards ceremony at Whitecross High School and our School Council visited Little Orchards Nursery to build some community links. 

As if that wasn't enough for one week, today, our football and netball teams played so well against the other six schools who took part in the Mitchell Hamer tournament this morning - we were very proud as they all represented the school brilliantly. Thank you to LHS for lending us their field, Mr Ward-Willis and Mrs Welson for organising the whole event and to Mr Spencer and Mr and Mrs Hughes for helping out. 

Back in school, we had our first Achievement assembly of the academic year and everyone was so proud of their certificates. Well done to you all!  Grace won the Voucher prize draw for this half term and the class attendance award was won by Year 5 with a very impressive 97.4%.

You may have noticed that all the children came home today with a packet of bulbs that have very kindly been donated by Tony and Tracey from I Can Foster.  This is so that everyone can plant them now ready to enjoy the daffodils, crocuses or tulips that come up in the spring time. Thank you!

We send all our love and best wishes to Miss Minett and her husband-to-be for their wedding next week. Year 5 children and staff loved holding a special 'wedding ceremony' for her this afternoon followed by a fun party and cake!

Finally, thank you to you all for your support. It has been lovely to see so many of you at Parent's Evenings this week and we really appreciate how much you work with our staff to support your child in school.

Have a fantastic half term break and we will see you back in school on Monday 4th November.
