We all had such an amazing day taking part in our annual Sports Day. Thankfully the weather was kind and we were able to show off our amazing skills to all of our parents and carers.

A massive well done to all of our children who showed such determination when taking part in their individual races.

A great big thank you to our Sports Leaders who organized and lead our Sports Day – they were fantastic, as always!

And finally a massive thank you to Mr Beveridge, Mrs Peverley and Mrs Corrigan for ensuring the day ran smoothy.

This years winners were ….. BLUE and RED…. the first time we have ever had a joint winner! Well done!

Article  29: We all have the right to develop our personalities, talents and abilities.

Over three days this week, the children across the whole school were spell-bound as they were visited by the illustrator and author Liz Million.

Liz writes, illustrates and publishes her own books as well as illustrating for other authors and working in schools. She talked to the children about her choices through education and how it led her to her present career – despite not thinking that it was possible as a child even though she always loved art.

She showed the children how she used things like ‘tacos’, ‘potatoes’ and ‘door arches’ to help to get the shapes for her characters and the children were amazed at how quickly she could come up with a finished picture. What was even more amazing, was the images that the children produced following her tips and ideas.

Throughout the week, all of the children and staff were amazed by the enthusiasm of Liz and she truly inspired everybody!
