Updates from Mrs Norden

This half term has started with an extremely busy week for KS2, with the Year 6 residential to PGL, Year 5 bike-ability and BMX workshop, as well as, the Year 3/4 trip to Westow.

You can read about some of those events through the links below, but look out for further articles next week.

In our summer term update below, please see information for some of our upcoming events.  As we move through this next half term there are many different activities/events to look forward to - some for the whole school, and some for specific groups.  Detailed information will be sent out nearer to the event either within our newsletters or in a separate email.  Please therefore make sure you read all our newsletters and communications thoroughly, so you do not miss out on the finer details.

Please also note that dates are on the website in the 'diary dates' section, which can be checked at anytime.
