VE Day Celebrations

On Thursday 8th May, we wil marking VE day by joining many others across the country to walk / run 80 miles.  This symbolises the strength and determination shown during WW2.  We would like families to show their support by making a small donation, all of which will be donated to RBL industries.  Please donate at the following justgiving page.

You do not need to pre-order, but please be aware of this change.

Every week we encourage parents to support their children to learn and use new vocabulary. In school we will be exploring the origin of new words, what they mean and how to use them effectively in context. If you can encourage your child to use these words it would be really helpful!
