iEstrella de la Semana! KS1 – Alicja I – For: Excellent recall of numbers in Spanish! KS2 – Shannon E – For: Spelling people’s names brilliantly, using the Spanish alphabet!
This week saw Year 5 developing their cycling skills on the playground and they all made big improvements. Year 2 have now completed all of their SATs tests and I must congratulate them on their on their excellent efforts and mature attitudes over the last few weeks. I also thank the Year 2 team who have ensured that the assessments were carried out in a calm and supportive atmosphere. Year 5 enjoyed enriching their learning with a Greek day today – the food was delicious! We all enjoyed the discos last night and a big thank you must go to the PTA for organising it, the many parents who supported us and the staff who stayed to support the children. Finally, a big thank you to the parents who attended the PTA meeting last Monday evening to offer their support and ideas for the future. Wishing you all a safe and sunny half term holiday.
