  Thank you to everyone who took part in Red Nose Day on Friday!  There were some fabulous outfits, hairstyles and painted faces as the children dressed up as "something funny for money".  It was also lovely to see so many mums having their photo taken with their children - there is a display in the school hall if you get the chance to have a look.  We are pleased to be able to tell you that we raised an impressive £170.60 for Comic Relief!

  Tue 10 Mar 2015
  Last week children in Year 4 took part in a Residential Trip to Condover Hall in Shropshire together with children  from other local schools (Abbey Park First and Drakes Broughton First).  The children had a great time enjoying a lot of new activities such as low ropes, abseiling, tunnelling/vortex, team challenge and laser maze/grid of stones as well as giant cluedo and a campfire in the evening.  As well as being a lot of fun, this was a great transition activity for the children who will all be moving on to Middle School in September.
