• Coastal Workshop

  Tue 05 Dec 2023

  Miss Crozier’s class took part in a coastal workshop today. The aim of the programme was to raise awareness of our coast and associated issues with it. Led by Ben from Eco Schools, everyone firstly engaged with the theory aspects before setting off down to the shore.

  The children completed a beach litter audit and discovered that the highest volume of litter on our localised shoreline was infact glass. An extensive clean up and litter pick then took place followed by some exploration of different facets of the area.

• Principal’s Award

  Fri 01 Dec 2023

  Elsie P6

  Elsie’s attitude towards her work is nothing short of fantastic. Each day, she approaches her classwork with unwavering commitment, doing her best in every task. Her enthusiasm for learning inspiring both her classmates and teachers alike. 

  Elsie’s vibrant imagination is truly noteworthy, particularly in her excellence in creative writing tasks. Her ability to bring creativity to life on paper not only showcases her talent but also enriches our collective learning experience. 

  In addition to that, she consistently exhibits great character. Her kindness and helpful nature shine through in all her interactions with peers, creating a positive and inclusive environment within the classroom and throughout the entire school. Her daily demonstration of good manners serves as a model for us all.

  Well done!
