Children are invited to come into school tomorrow wearing an item of red clothing or a red accessory.  In return we ask that you please make a donation of £1 via Parent Pay to raise money for this cause.  Thank you in advance and we look forward to seeing lots of red tomorrow!

Unfortunately we are unable to open the Borden Lane gate this afternoon due to a waterlogged path. All other gates will be open as usual.

We have had to make a change to todays lunch menu. Instead of the planned chicken and vegetable stew with dumplings we will now be serving lentil and vegetable stew with dumplings. The other two options of Pesto Pasta and Jacket Potatoes with a choice of toppings remain the same.

Congratulations to Year 6 class Jaguar and Year 5 class Meerkat on achieving the highest class attendance this week, both with 99% attendance.  Well done Jaguar and Meerkat, enjoy your extra playtime!

This week at Forest School, we had hammering Lions and bread cooking Zebras and Axolotls. Yr 3 used hammers and nails, avoiding hitting their fingers. Yr 5 enjoyed sitting by the fire whilst turning their greenwood with dough. Sessions finished with hot chocolate and a biscuit.
