This week has been relatively quiet in school as we settle into the new term and our new topics.
By way of reminder, please ensure a full P.E kit is available in school and try to encourage children to remember their swimming kit for a Thursday afternoon.  
On Tuesday, we enjoyed our January ‘Walk 2 School’, it was a little quieter than usual, but we all enjoyed the walk and the breakfast when we arrived at school. Our next Walk 2 School is scheduled for Tuesday 1st February.

New Librarians – congratulations to Daisy (Y6) and Sophie-Joy (Y4) who have been chosen to be our new school Librarians. We have been so impressed with both girls’ enthusiasm for reading and we know they will do a wonderful job of helping to organise our newly resourced library! Well done girls!
