Whole School Jubilee Week

This week, as a whole school, we are having our special enrichment week to celebrate Queen Elizabeth’s 70 years on the throne.

Congratulations to Ola in Class 4 who was a runner up in the John Lewis Art Portrait Competition.

The week will be completed on Friday 17th June when we ask the children to dress up in purple, red, white or blue and instead of bringing in home fruit on that day they can bring in a treat to have at our picnic (just for themselves and remember our no nuts policy). Please find more information in your email box and newsletter.

See our table below for some of the activities the children will be involved in….

• Could you please make sure children have a change of shoes suitable for PE in their PE kits as most of our PE will be outside this term. Thank you.

We will always aim to get outside, whatever the weather, as much as possible so children will really need a waterproof coat each day.
