Today we have been celebrating Dare to Be Different Day! It has been wonderful to see so many children come into school proudly wearing outfits that reflect their individuality and uniqueness. From bold choices to creative styles, every child has truly embraced the opportunity to express who they are. This day links closely to our school values, especially being proud of who we are. We are so proud of our children for celebrating what makes them special and supporting one another to do the same. We are also delighted to share that we raised £300 today towards our OPAL funding – thank you so much to our families for your continued support! Well done to everyone who took part – you made today a fantastic celebration of individuality!

Celebrating Sir David Attenborough at 100 Today, we join the rest of the country in celebrating a truly remarkable milestone as Sir David Attenborough turns 100 years old! For over 70 years, Sir David has inspired generations through his incredible work as a broadcaster and naturalist, bringing the wonders of the natural world into our homes. His documentaries have helped millions of people better understand the importance of caring for our planet and protecting the environment for future generations. Across school, this provides a wonderful opportunity for our children to reflect on his powerful message and consider how they can help look after the world around them. What an inspiring legacy - thank you, Sir David!

Reminder – Dare to Be Different Day! Tomorrow, we're celebrating Dare to Be Different Day at school! Children are invited to wear something that celebrates their individuality – bright colours, fun patterns, favourite outfits or anything that makes them feel proud to be them. Suggested cash contribution: £2 (or whatever families can afford) All contributions will support our OPAL (Outdoor Play and Learning) fundraising this term. Thank you for your continued support – we can't wait to see everyone's creative outfits!

Animal Antics Visit – What a Fantastic Day! Today our Nursery children had an amazing time welcoming Angies Animal Antics into school! As part of their learning about animals, the children enjoyed a truly hands-on experience, meeting a range of fascinating creatures from around the world. They were incredibly brave, curious and respectful as they learned about different habitats and discovered lots of new facts. It was wonderful to see the children so engaged – asking questions, describing what they could see and feel and developing their language and communication skills through such an exciting, real-life experience. A huge thank you to Angie for delivering such an engaging session!

Polling Day Reminder Just a reminder that tomorrow is Polling Day and school will be closed to all children. We look forward to welcoming children back to school on Friday for our Dare to Be different day!

Huge well done to Year 4! They came to school today dressed to rock whilst getting ready for their Multiplication Tables Check. We're so proud of them!
