Everybody Worries

Even the bravest of the brave and the coolest of the cool worry. Worrying is normal when so much has changed.

Everybody Worries offers your child the reassuring message that this crisis will pass, we are there for them, and we will get through this together.

New KS2 Playground Markings

There were lots and lots of excited faces in the Key Stage 2 playground yesterday morning, on our return to school after the half term holiday. The reason – new playground markings to explore for all the children, including a snakes and ladders game, an active zone and a new 5-a-side football pitch.

As you can see from the images below, despite the 'miserable’ weather at breaktime, the children still managed to really enjoy interacting with the new playground markings. Let’s hope the weather improves this week, so the children can continue to explore and enjoy these new resources...

Year 3 - Library trip

Last week, Year 3 enjoyed a windy walk to Hilldene library. The excited children were given the opportunity to explore the library and learn about all the different services they provide. The adults on the trip were extremely proud of the children's exceptional behaviour to and in the library!
