This Weeks News and Notices
* Comic Relief Fundraising - Thank You!
A huge thank you to all our children, families and staff for taking part in our Comic Relief fundraising day. We loved seeing the funny and creative ideas the children had to accessorise their school uniform, from silly socks and wacky hats to bright red noses. Well done everyone, your enthusiasm brought plenty of smiles across the school! Thanks to your generous donations, we are delighted to share that we have raised £150 for Comic Relief. This money will help support important projects that care for people in need, both here in the UK and around the world. Thank you for helping us to help others.
* Winning House
Congratulations to St Patricks green house for getting the most house points this half term. The children in this winning house can wear non school uniform next Friday.
* Our Ducklings Take Their First Swim!
We have had a very exciting week in school as our ducklings, who only hatched last week, took their first swim! The children gathered to watch the special moment and were delighted to see how confidently the ducklings took to the water. There were lots of smiles, gentle splashes, and plenty of “aww” moments. Throughout the week, the children have had opportunities to engage with the ducklings, observe them closely, ask questions and learn about how they grow and develop. It has been a wonderful hands-on learning experience that the whole school has enjoyed.
Thank you to the PTFA for funding this project.
* Laches Wood Residential for Eagles
Thank you to all the parents and children who attended the presentation for our Year 4 annual residential to Laches Wood. The presentation that we shared is now on the school website.
