A note from the Principal The end of another busy week in Primary! We were so happy to see our Y4-Y6 students return safe, happy and perhaps a little tired from their Residentials. Next up, will be our Year 3 students when they head down to Pattaya next month. Next week, we look forward to our Lunar New Year celebrations and assembly on Friday and Fun Day on Saturday. Events such as these really bring us all together and help us celebrate our different backgrounds and experiences. I look forward to seeing you all there!

Global Citizenship
Events In The World
You can keep up to date with current events around the world by watching Newsround, an age appropriate news show. Being aware of current events will help your child to make connections with a range of themes when reading in class, and it is an ideal opportunity for you to model discussing your opinions and using experiences to draw connections between events and people.
