ForgivenessOur school value for his half term is 'Forgiveness'. Our quote for this half term is… “It takes a strong person to say sorry, and an even stronger person to forgive.” It would really help if you could follow this up with your children at home and talk to them about what forgiveness means.

ReadingWe are now asking for all children’s reading books to be brought into school every day. Children will still read to the teacher on their designated day. This will allow us to read more regularly with the children and reinforces the importance of reading. We hold a weekly competition.
