SCHOOL MESSAGES
We've had a fantastic Term here at Twynham Primary School. Its certainly been action packed, with a large variety of activities being incorporated alongside the daily school learning.
The children have made full use of our newly refurbished library space, taking part in many reading related activities and challenges, raising money for the Readathon in the process, and enhacing their love of books.
The children have attended a variety of sporting events, school trips and we've also had visitors to the school to teach valuable life skills such as the Cookery Workshop.
We are proud of the children, and the enthusiam they show when embarking on new challenges and learning!
The whole team at TPS would like to thank parents for their continued support, and we hope you have a restful Easter Break!
STAFF READING CHALLENGE
Thank you to all our Reading Ambassadors for their support in helping each class choose a book for their teachers to read over the Easter holidays. The staff cannot wait to dive in to their books.
