A marvellous, mathematical time was had by all across the school today as we exhibited our 'Crazy Rockstar' hairstyles all in aid of an amazing cause; the NSPCC. The children looked FABULOUS and had obviously put a lot of effort into creating their styles. They also took part in many maths related games and activities as well as a national times table competition on Times Table Rockstars.
Our newly appointed maths ambassadors treated us to an assembly with some fun competitions.
Thank you everyone for your support - we raised £140 for the NSPCC.

We had a lovely day on celebrating our achievement of PATHS Model School Status. Mrs. Reid and the Year 5 B's Buddies led an assembly in which school were presented with our special plaque by the Mayor, Councillor Jeanette Banks, and Lisa from the PATHS Team.
Our Early Years and KS1 children loved having a dance with our other special guest, Twiggle the Turtle, and played some party games which included the other characters from their PATHS lessons. Our KS2 classes enjoyed watching the film 'Inside Out' which is all about different feelings and emotions. Each class also took part in their weekly PATHS lessons too.
Mrs. Reid and the team have worked incredibly hard to embed PATHS into our everyday school life and as one of only a handful of schools in the authority with Model School Status we are INCREDIBLY proud!

- I enjoyed visiting Scotland because we played Tug of War.

Thank you to the Eco Team and all the children who came to Gardening Club over the Easter holidays. They were very busy bees: creating plant pots and bird houses; preparing the planters; cleaning up the pond area or a nauture garden; planting some fruits and vegetables; creating 3 new bug hotels and planting lots of wild flowers to help maintain and attract our local wildlife. We were all exhausted after two days of very hard work but are looking forward to seeing our results over the next months.
