The event of the year is ready to open...make sure that you come on down to enjoy our fabulous summer Fair. With delicious treats, fantastic gifts and prizes to be won it really will be a wonderful way to spend your Saturday morning.
Rookie Rockstars 
This week has been a massive celebration of inclusion and diversity with all pupils invited to participate in a collection of workshops which included singing, dancing and fun challenges. The pupils and staff have had an amazing time and we can't wait for you to come and see them in their concerts next Tuesday! Don't forget to buy your ticket using the text link to ParentPay or with cash at the office.
A Plea for Picture Books
We are having a sort out of our school library and quite a number of our picture books have been very well read and looking a little tatty.
Many of our pupils still benefit from sharing stories with adults that have bright and exciting visuals. Picture books allow pupils to play with language, often in a lyrical and rhythmic sense, which increases the number of words at their disposal. Talking about the illustrations on the page is also a wonderful way of improving vocabulary - potentially discussing important topics as well as the meaning of the story.
We are asking for donations of good quality short stories and picture books to add to our school library for our pupils to enjoy. Thank you!
