Thank you to all of the parents who stayed behind after-school and attended our first World Book Night as supported by Literacy Trust. It was lovely to see so many families reading with their children, completing book-themed crafts and joining in the book swap event.
Parents and children have asked if this is something we will be doing again, and yes this is. We will continue to keep you updated for an end of year event.
We will be sharing stories, crafting and swapping books. Please bring with you books to swap with other parents and children. All parents in attendance to this event will receive a free book by the famous author LJ Ross
We want to say a huge thank you to all that purchased Easter Raffle Tickets this week.

The school council will speak to each class and look at what summer fun activities they may like to do.
Thank you to all the parents school wide who have stayed and joined the children for Easter-themed crafts and activities.

Reception had a trip to the Ouseburn Farm. The children got to see many animals that they had been learning about.
Year 2 had a fantastic visit from our local fire engine yesterday! The experience linked to our History learning on the Great Fire of London, as the children explored how firefighting has changed since 1666. They loved comparing past and present and had great fun trying out the equipment!
As a continuation of our World Book Day celebrations and reading events, the children dressed up as their favourite book character.
As part of our World Book Day events, we had reading buddy day school wide. The older children enjoyed the opportunity to support our younger readers in school.
