Happy New Year to you all.

I hope you and your families have had a lovely break over the Christmas period. The children have returned looking as smart as ever (thank you) and immediately working hard in lessons.

Our first Fun Friday was Minute to Win It. Our houses completed a series of physical challenges including bottle flipping, anagrams and solving puzzles. Thank you to Ms Ruby.

Our Character Education clubs begin next week. Please make sure your child engages with what we have to offer. We want them to develop skills and character as much as we want them to achieve amazing outcomes. Our clubs are free of charge. The list is available here.

Heads of Year have asked me to send a reminder of our equipment list to families. We provide whiteboards and whiteboard pens. The items listed below should also be brought to school every day:

• Scientific calculator
• Pencil case
• Two black or blue ball point pens
• Two HB pencils
• Two green pens
• Pencil eraser
• Pencil sharpener
• Set of coloured pencils
• Highlighter
• Ruler
• Glue stick
• Compass
• Protractor

I look forward to seeing you during the term.

Ms C Moran, Headteacher
