A special congratulations goes to Cobyn, who was our top walker, covering an incredible 33km on his own—more than half a marathon!

We are incredibly proud of every single child for their effort, positive attitude and perseverance. Thank you to everyone who has sponsored them so far. If your child still has sponsorship money to collect, please could this be brought into school as soon as possible.

Well done, Year 6—you were amazing!

On Monday, our 3&4s went to Forest View for a friendly game of football. This is the first time they’ve played together as a team and they put up and excellent battle. Being 2-1 down at half time, the team were hopeful to turn things around and win the second half but after some well-worked goals by the opposition we were defeated 5-1. The team put up a brilliant show and there were lots of positives to take from the performance! We’re looking forward to the tournament on the 18th!
