We have had a busy week with every class busy enjoying their learning and finding out some amazing facts.  You will notice as you come into school our new display board, which shows some of opportunities the children have within our school.  The board is entitled ‘Life in all its Fullness’ and demonstrates the fullness of life we want to encourage within all of our children.
 
Tomorrow we are looking forward to a very busy day, as the children enjoy dressing up for Sports Relief, enjoying a fun obstacle activity (along with a biscuit) and also taking part in our environmental learning day.  During the environmental day the children will have opportunities to develop their awareness of recycling, have practical opportunities to work on our growing beds and also make things that will encourage recycling and reduction in waste.
 
A quick reminder that school will be closed on Friday, due to staff training.  I hope you all have a lovely weekend when it arrives.
