A reminder to Year 2 parents that we are now taking payments for their PGL trip in October 2016. The cost of the trip is £80 and payment will need to be made in full by Friday 16th September 2016. This will allow all the final paperwork to be sent off to the local authority and approved.

Payments can be made in the Year 2 area, before or after school, where payment cards will be filled out for your child. If you were unable to attend the meeting this week, information about the trip is with Year 2 staff.

Trip date: Wednesday 19th – Friday 21st October 2016.

The children in Key Stage 2 would like to invite their parents and families to join them in Everton Park to get active and collect points for our school. We will be leaving school at 1.30pm, so bring your registered cards and meet us outside the school hall tomorrow (Friday 27th May)!

Well done to all of our pupils who took part in the running competition in Everton Park, yesterday. Three teams, a KS1 mixed boys and girls, a KS2 girls and a KS2 boys team, competed against The Beacon, Faith Primary and Millstead.

In the Key Stage 1 race, Jack Trainer finished in 3rd place overall, helping us to a 2nd place finish overall. Our Key Stage 2 girls came in 3rd place, after some top ten finishes and Eryk topped off a lovely afternoon with a 1st place finish in the Key Stage 2 boys race, with 2nd place overall for the team.

Children from key stage 2 have been enjoying a maths lunchtime club, playing fun games and applying mathematical skills.

Mrs Burns’ class took to the Nature Trail this week to have lots of fun in the sun. Once again, the staff and apprentices made the pupils and staff feel extremely welcome – thank you!

The children in Year 3 and 4 would like to invite their parents to support them in swapping their reading books, every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday mornings, between 9 and 9.30am.

If you are interested in supporting your child, please follow them into school from the top yard when they line up for school at 8.55am.

Year 3 pupils gave us an extremely insightful assembly about how to stay safe online, with the main message being how to report inappropriate behaviour. If you have any worries about staying safe online, talk to one of our Year 3 pupils or any teacher! Report any inappropriate behaviour to CEOP.

Watch the clips below to see some of the assembly!

Eight of our pupils represented Key Stage Two at the Highland Games competition, held at Archbishop Beck Tennis Centre, on Friday morning. A series of events, focusing on running, jumping and throwing mirrors the adult version of the highland games.

The children involved had previously taken part in a Level 1 competition in school, during an after school club and performed very well against other schools from the city.
