Thank you all for your understanding with the few changes in procedures we have put in place this week. As ever, our priority remains keeping pupils as safe as possible and I am grateful to staff and parents for their support.
Despite restrictions in classrooms, we have still managed to have an exciting week. The highlight, and much talked about, event being the dragon’s nest (including three dragon eggs) that has appeared outside the Year 2 classroom. We are eagerly awaiting to see what happens next!
We are starting to look ahead to our first festival of the term, Harvest, and we will be looking to share many of the ‘gifts’ the children have for you, although this year it will be virtually.
This week is the start of our community awards. These are presented to pupils who have been particularly kind, helpful or polite and sometimes gone out of their way to make a difference. Often a member of staff notices these gestures and reports back to myself or the form teacher.
This week the awards go to:
Preschool
Laura Cowburn
Lily Dowd
Finnbar Downey
Arthur King
Ottilie King
Barnaby Meech
Achilles Servis
Beauden Smith
