Spring has definitely arrived and it is great timing with the start of the new classroom build. Over the coming weeks I hope to provide you with regular updates on the project. Currently, the compound is set up and the area is ready for work. The foundations for the building will be prepared next week, with the large delivery vehicles arriving over the Easter break to fill them with concrete. While we anticipate minimal disruption, I must highlight that next Wednesday 26th March, will be particularly noisy due to the digging process. If your child typically uses ear defenders, please ensure they bring them to school next week. Rest assured, the subsequent stages of construction should be considerably quieter. The classroom is scheduled for completion by the 18th August so fingers crossed!
Well done to our KS2 cross-country team who took part in an event held at CSAC last week. Their impeccable behaviour and perseverance throughout the event were a testament to our school values. Special congratulations to Sadie and Bertie, who secured first and second place respectively, earning their spots in the finals. We are immensely proud of their accomplishments and the entire team's performance.
Reading Shed
We now have a well-stocked reading shed for the children to use during lunchtimes. We are keen to make this space even more inviting and organised for our children. To achieve this, we would like to ask if any of you have any small plastic or wicker boxes that you no longer need, which could be used to store books in the reading shed. If you have any suitable boxes that you are able to spare, please consider donating them to the school. Thank you
