Purple Mash competition

Please note: School staff don’t get notified of entries and as they are on public display boards names are not added alongside them. Therefore, please could you additionally email a copy of their design to your child’s class teacher so that we can celebrate these in class.
Celebrations
We have really enjoyed learning about the ELLI Tortoise this week. The children have been persevering in their learning and have been trying their best to stick at tasks even when they are finding them challenging. We have started to learn songs for our nativity performance and are looking forward to going into the hall as a whole year group next week to sing the songs together and start the performance.
