Dear Parent/Carer,We celebrated BLOB awards this week, and what a treat it was to see so many pupils dressed up as their favourite characters. Thank you to all those who supported.

You will have received a letter from Mrs Jones this week, outlining our Healthy School Aims. I hope you will support us in this, and we too will be making this commitment. Please, please contact us if you have any good ideas.

A big thank you to Mr Dowsett who ran two parent classes this week to explain how to support your child with problem solving activities.

We are re-launching our playground buddy system with an updated training session and an new application form. (For Year 4-6) We hope that you will encourage your child to become involved, as it is a great way to learn and support others. If you need another application, please ask your class teacher.

Please note that there are three new INSET days for your diary. These are 21st July 2017, 4th September 2017 and 28th September 2017.

Kind RegardsMrs Caswell
