Updates from Mrs Norden

As you will see from our latest news articles below, groups of children in KS2 have been engaged in varied SCSSP sporting events.  A huge well done to all our netballlers for their success in Round one of the Bee Netball competition. 

We had a really informative and exciting assembly from Ms Lai, one of our parents, who is a local engineer working on flood management projects, supporting Cambridgeshire, Linconshire and Leeds all areas impacted by flooding. We want to say a huge thank you to her for sharing her expertise and specialism with us and inspiring many. 

We also discovered that Ms Lai was one of the winners of the 'Top 50 Women in engineering 2024' awarded to 'the inspiring women who have significantly influenced technology, sustainability, and society'. A fabulous achievement and it was brilliant to hear about the work Ms Lai has been doing which will have formed part of the evidence for this award.

If you have a specialism/expertise/interest you would be willing to share with the children, please get in touch.  It is so important for children to have first-hand experiences and to hear from people across a wide range of industries and sectors.

We continue to have confirmed cases of 'hand, foot and mouth'.  Thank you to all those who have been vigilant, catching symptoms early (click here). It is highly infectious, and if caught can make people very unwell, so please keep maintaining your vigilance to support our medically vulnerable children and staff.  Children should not return if they have a high temperature or open ulcers, as these will lead to further spread.
