Updates from Mrs Norden

A huge well done to our Year 5/6s for their brilliant performances last week.  Their play 'Old School Daze' was funny, reminiscent and poignant.  The singing was incredible, from soloists and ensembles to the whole cast with catchy tunes, I know I am still humming.  Thank you to all the staff who made the play possible, and we hope the audience enjoyed watching it as much as the children enjoyed performing.

We had an interesting Friday last week, but despite the 'night attire', the discos after school were still lively. Thank you to Tom and the PTA for great music and entertainment and to you all for the donations to our School Council's equipment project.

This week we will have our whole school transition and so there will be some changes to normal organisation.  Year 5/6 will have PE tomorrow (Monday), with Year 1/2 and 3/4 as normal on Tuesday. There will be no other formal PE sessions and so children should wear normal uniform from Wednesday to Friday. 

I hope the late evening I suspect many will have today, leads to celebrations, which would be a wonderful start to our celebrations for our Yr6s as they finish their primary school journey this week.
