Well-Being
A massive thank you to all of our Year 6 parents for supporting our multicultural celebration.
PSHE in Year 6: We are confident collaborative communicators
How important is that we listen to others? Listening to others shows that we respect and value their contributions. In Year 6, we are focusing on becoming active listeners in order to improve our collaboration skills. We assessed each other's listening skills, and we have set ourselves a target. We will continue to review and build upon these.
Learning
PE reminders
A polite reminder that students require sports shoes/trainers for PE lessons. These need to be different to their school shoes. This applies even if school shoes are black trainers.
