Well done to Holly Chappell, and Esme and Alice Parker for their amazing fund raising efforts on behalf of the school’s Green Team.

Last year, Mrs Worthington and the Green Team worked hard to develop the ways in which we recycle our school waste and through the use of different bins in classrooms around school dramatically reduced the amount of rubbish we were throwing away.

The children also identified a need for a compost bin to help recycle our break time fruit waste, but due to lockdown weren’t able to complete their action plan. This didn’t stop Esme, Alice and Holly however and during lockdown they undertook 26.2 miles and with the help of their families raised an amazing £252. The girls presented their cheque to Mrs Worthington earlier this week and we celebrated their achievements in our assembly today.

Here is a video documenting some of those 26.2 miles they undertook.

World Book Day was a great success this year. From Harry Potter to Dorothy from the Wizard of OZ an amazing number of characters made an appearance at our school. The children had an opportunity to read some of their favourite stories to each other and we had a whole school photograph during assembly.

The children have all received a World Book Day token to spend, but if you would like some for younger siblings please just talk to Miss Fargher in the office. Thank you to all the staff for their hard work and for making such an effort with this event.
