In our celebration assembly on Friday 17^th October, we had some very special news to celebrate alongside the citizenship book, achievement certificates, Year 6 award, Grown up of the week award and Headteacher's Award: Ellie has been selected to join the National Youth Orchestra with her French Horn.

It is wonderful to celebrate the children on Friday's assembly. What is particularly meaningful is when the children select people they want to celebrate. This week, Mrs Chris James (who has been working in the school for over 40 years!) was chosen by the children as 'adult of the week' and Alex (Yr 1) was chosen for the Year 6 Award. 

We have been thinking more about our school motto this week 'Everyone is different. Everyone is special. Everyone is our neighbour'. It has been wonderful to celebrate the children who have been good neighbours with their names in the citizenship book for helping children and adults, being a kind friend and being a polite and supportive member of the school. 

This week's celebration assembly was in the morning due to our Summer Fair in the afternoon. It was wonderful to see all the children sitting in their new places for next year, as the children were having their 'move up transition morning'!  Well done to each and every person who was on the stage being celebrated this week. 

On Friday's assembly, we celebrated the Fun Run! Reception class joined us to get their 'metals' (medals), which every child who had run more than 3 laps received. There were an incredible amount of children collecting certificates and medals. We celebrated our Year 6s who had run the most laps, with the three girls having tied with their number of laps.

On Friday 6^th June, amongst our usual celebration, children who had completed the Doodle Maths Spring Challenge were awarded their certificates and badges -well done to everyone for completing that challenge!
