Well done to everyone who made storytelling week such a great success last week. It was great seeing the work that Year 1 and Year 2 had done over the week in their assembly on Friday afternoon. The junior classes are showing their work this afternoon. This project isn’t just about last week, though, and we will continue to develop this work over the next few months.

Attendance

We gave out certificates to the children who had 100% attendance for the Autumn terms (September to Christmas) today. Usually we give out about 40 certificates; today we gave out 79, which is astonishing when you remember that the autumn terms were the terms that swine ‘flu seemed to be most active.

Holiday

I hope everybody has a restful holiday next week; it’s been a really busy term.

Over the holiday we are hoping to have some awnings installed outside Years 1, 2 and 3. The idea is that they’ll keep the sun off those class rooms and provide a little shade - though too much sun doesn’t seem to be a problem at the moment. 

The funding for this project is coming from The Rose Foundation. They are a local charity who have provided grants for a number of projects over the past few years, including the installation of air-conditioning in two of our classes and the re-surfacing of the car park to provide level access to the school from this area as well as improve the surface for the people who use this path to access the building after school.

We’re very grateful to the Rose Foundation for their support with small building projects.
