Today was spent raising money and awareness for the amazing charity ‘Brain Tumour Awareness’

All of the staff and children wore hats; taking part in the ‘Wear a Hat Day’ fundraising. Thank you for everyone who donated £1 to this amazing cause 🙂

Today in Mrs Morton’s Assembly we looked at the importance of being SMART when you are online… especially with the world being a whole lot more virtual in the last year.

All day today each class bubble have been working hard to raise money for the Red Nose Day charity;

• Starting with Class 1 who participated in the outdoor ‘CLIMBATHON’.
• The next hour saw Class 2 tackle the ‘YOGATHON’ – each team had 15minutes to get their Yoga on – lasting the whole hour!
• Class 3’s challenge was ‘SKIPATHON’ where the children from each team had 15 minutes of Skipping to participate in.
• Before Class 4 ended our ‘ATHON CHALLENGES’ with ‘DANCEATHON’!

Huge well done to all of the children who participated and helped us raise money for this amazing charity. As well as all of the parents and carers who donated via ParentPay 🙂

 Science WOW Day!

What a fantastic end to our first week back! We had all 4 teachers, exploring different science concepts with us; Mrs Morton looked at Light, Mrs Plant explored Forces, Miss Milburn performed a Chemical Reaction and Mr Graham explored Light!

What a wonderful surprise waiting for the children as they left school on Monday – a super end to an even more super day of us all coming back together! 🙂
