    Dear Parents/Carers,

     
    Year 2 Leaver's Assembly
    What an amazing show the Year 2 put on this week. They sang, danced and performed brilliantly and it was lovely to see how confident and happy they were on the stage. A huge thank you to the Year 2 team for their tireless hard work in putting the assembly together and supporting the children so well. 
     
    Flower Festival 
    Our church services are always a lovely way to mark the end of term and it was lovely to see so many of you at our Flower Festival. Well done to the children for their great performances. Thank you to the the parents who helped arrange the flowers after the service.
     
    We took the opportunity at the Flower Festival to say goodbye to Mrs Shreeve who is retiring. Children from years 2, 5 and 6 shared their memories and all classes gave Mrs Shreeve their goodbye cards and sang a special song. Thank you again Mrs Shreeve for all you have done and enjoy your retirement! 
     
    Sponsored Walk
    Thank you to those who have donated to our sponsored walk for more PE equipment. We have raised over £485.00. If you would like to donate, the sponsored walk is on ParentMail.
