Swimming

Unfortunately, the mobile swimming pool that was due to arrive after half term has been delayed due to an issue with the provider.
We will now have the pool for the Summer 1st Half term (after Easter). This will be for years 3-6.

Mental health week

This week the children have been learning about mental health and the importance of being connected.
All children have done some relaxation activities and some children have also taken part in ‘Taskmaster’ challenges.

World Book Week (27th Feb-3rd March)

We will be having a week of activities for the children to get involved in.
This includes on Thursday 2nd March for the official World Book Day, children can dress up as their favourite book characters or as an interesting word, such as: sparkly, flamboyant, nocturnal, catastrophic, colourful.
Over half term there will also be a challenge for the children to create a ‘book in a box’ – creating a scene from a book in a box so get thinking of ideas. During the week there will also be lots of other exciting things going on.
Full details of all this and more will follow next week.

Have a great weekend.
See you on Monday.
