Dear Parents,
An excellent Class Assembly this week
Well done to Class 3 for their excellent assembly on Thursday. They gave us a very detailed insight into the work they have done in class this term. We really enjoyed hearing about life as a Viking.
Parent Teacher Consultations next week:
Reception – Wednesday 18th October 1.15pm-5.45pm
Year 1 to Year 6 – Wednesday 18th and Thursday 19th October 3.40pm-6.20pm.
This is an excellent opportunity to meet with your child’s teacher and share their progress. You can also see their class books and work. Appointments can be made in the office entrance area or by contacting school. Any queries, please speak to us.

Thank you for supporting our Book Fair in school. Thank you to Mrs Newton and her team of children who helped. We raised £210 in commission which will be used to update books in our class and school library.
