Dear Parents,
This week has been Feeling Good Week. The children have enjoyed a Bhangra dance workshop, intra sports, running, yoga, gymnastics and Kidzfit. In class they have been participating in brain gym exercises and learning thinking skills and relaxation techniques. We hope they have all been feeling good this week!

School Discos – On Friday 2nd February from 4-8pm we held 3 discos for the children. We had a new DJ, (DJ Mike) who the children and parent volunteers were all impressed with. We raised a whopping £864.25. We had fantastic help and support from parents at this event, a very BIG thank you to all the volunteers, your help enabled the event to run very smoothly.
