Message from Mrs Farley: We are blessed with such amazing talent within our school and yesterday was no exception. Key Stage 2 children were entertained by Blossom, Aerwinn, Leticia, Mollie, Olivia, Freya, Sophie, Jorja, Lexi, Ava and Malcom who presented a news report showcasing songs and dances they have learnt in their lunchtime club run by Year 6 children. The Year 5 classes entertained parents with a music concert showcase of all they have learnt with Mrs Elson including a magnificent solo by Kira. This afternoon Year 1 have a concert for parents linked to Jack and the Beanstalk. I've had a sneak preview and it is amazing! Well done to all the children and staff for their commitment, perseverance and enthusiasm, the confidence of the children shone through – well done everyone!The term has flown by and next week is Half Term. I do hope the weather is kind to us all over the Bank Holiday and you all enjoy a well deserved rest. I look forward to welcoming you back to school on Monday 4th June.
