So Proud

What a wonderful week. I have been so proud of everyone. On Monday I received a certificate from the NSPCC for the amazing £2600 that was raised by the school to stop cruelty to children. Then on Wednesday I watched our Year 6 present their SAFE project to parents and staff from all of the cluster schools and the police. I have to say that ours were clearly the best in their presentation and behaviour - a credit to us all. The week ended with our fabulous African celebration. It was fantastic to see the children's work and the experiences of Mrs. Decaro and Mrs. Dobbins. We are so grateful to all who attended and helped raise £590 for our twin school in Uganda - they will now be able to buy a new well and possibly the solar panel. What is more, we have gained a tremendous bank of work for all areas of the curriculum. Can I thank all of you but especially my wonderful staff and brilliant children for making all of this possible.

Don't forget there is no school on Monday - so enjoy the long weekend.
