Look at what we have been getting up to in school
This page is dedicated to keeping parents and carers up to date on what we have been getting up to in school.
Emergency 999
This week we were very lucky to receive some very special visitors! On Tuesday 2 Police Officers came to visit us and tell us all about being a Police Officer. We learnt that Police Officers help to keep us safe and we can look for their uniform if we are lost and we dial 999…

Youth Sacre

The children were able to share their own views and hear the opinions of others, through group discussions…

Buddy Mile
During this week’s buddy time, we headed outside in to the fresh winter air and enjoyed running and jogging our Daily Mile. It was lovely to see the children encouraging each other with huge smiles on their faces as they exercised together!
