SCHOOL NEWS & Key Dates
DARE TO BELIEVE FESTIVAL
On Tuesday 19th November, eight of our Year 2 pupils had the exciting opportunity to attend the Dare to Believe Festival at TGS.
Throughout the day, the children took part in a variety of engaging multi-skills activities designed to build confidence, coordination and teamwork.
A highlight of the event was the dance workshop, where pupils learned new moves and showcased fantastic creativity.
We were incredibly proud of the way our pupils represented the school. Their enthusiasm, positive attitude and excellent teamwork were recognised with School Games Values medals – a wonderful achievement for all involved!
Well done to our brilliant Year 2 team!
MRS PHILLIPS BOOK REVIEW
Incredible things your body can do!
by Dr Emily Macdonagh
I really enjoyed reading this book.
I learned all about my body — my organs, bones, and muscles. I even found out why I sometimes sneeze!
There are lots of pictures that helped me understand all the different jobs my body has.
I thought learning about my body might be a bit boring, but this book made it really fun, and I discovered so many new things.
