The Golden Rules we have been working on this week are:

  • Walking inside our school
  • Using our quiet voices indoors
  •  Being kind and gentle
Our Travel Flag
We talked about all the ways we can come to school and be kinder to our environment
Walking
If you can’t walk to school. Why not walk at the weekend to the shop or the park nearby inside of taking the car.
Sharing lifts
Cycling
Take a look at some of the children’s lovely artwork that they presented at
assembly.
Rosie’s Walk
Spring has arrived…

 


 

In January, The M and M theatre company came and visited our school. The four actors put on an amazing show of ‘Beauty and the Beast’. Take a look at the pictures;

 

 


 

Assembly 

During assembly, we like to share all the fantastic work the children have been doing in class and celebrate their achievements. During whole school assembly, we celebrate our whole school community and up and coming events in our school.

We are celebrating following our Golden Rules.

 

We are very proud to be in the Golden Book this week.

 

 

 

 

 

 

We always try hard to do our very best and ‘reach for the stars’…….

 

 

 The children love to share their wonderful class work with the rest of the school.
