A note from
the Principal
Dear Parents,
Welcome back. It has been such a
joy seeing our students happy to return and eager for the remaining 9 weeks of
the academic year.
It has certainly been
a busy start to term, and I want to extend a big thank you to Ms. Jayne and the
PE team for kicking off Sports Week, and to Mr Glenn and Mr. Max for putting
together an exciting E-Sports showcase. Meanwhile, Year 6 are gearing up for
Madagascar the musical, and we would be delighted if you could join us for one
of the performances on May 8th or 10th.
On other news, on Monday we had a most unusual visitor to one of our Foundation
Stage classrooms – a green tree snake! He was captured overnight and returned
to the wild. His visit certainly provoked a lot of interest from our youngest
students!

Same time - new location!
Please note, although parents are still welcome to spectate our sports days, we kindly request that all parents remain in the viewing gallery adjacent to the climbing wall. This measure ensures that we can optimise the space available and maintain safety. There may be instances during the event when you may not have a clear view of your child, particularly if their activity is located on court 3.
We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience these adjustments may cause and express our gratitude in advance for your understanding and support. Thank you for helping us to prioritise the health and safety of our students and staff during this time of high heat.PSHE

Events around 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.
