The hot weather is set to continue this week ๐
School PE Kits and summer dresses are the way forward. Black shorts and white polos may be worn but this is NOT a non uniform choice, if opting for PE Kit children should wear black shorts and a plain red t-shirt.
P.S. don't forget your hats and water bottles.
Suncream should be applied before school and sent to school in bags to be topped up through the day.
We will keep classrooms as cool as possible by keeping blinds closed and doors open.
We will be monitoring conditions and this may mean shorter outdoor breaks and a quick trip to Tesco for icepops!
If you are lucky enough to be working in an air condition unit, spare a cooling thought for us! 21 Likes
Fourteen of our children attended and had a wonderful time learning new skills, working together and taking part in lots of exciting activities.
The children especially enjoyed performing in a mini concert for all of our hard-working staff in the Connect offices, showcasing everything they had learned with confidence and enthusiasm.
Best of all, the workshop was free of charge thanks to funding from the Sir Tom Cowie Trust.
A huge thank you to our amazing tutors for their support, encouragement and expertise throughout the session.
You made the experience fun, engaging and inspiring for everyone involved! ๐๐๐ถ 15 Likes

What a morning! ๐
To celebrate England's victory in their opening World Cup match, we enjoyed a whole-school POP Morning. It was fantastic to see the children making the most of our outdoor spaces, enjoying time with friends and getting active before the school day got underway. โ๏ธ
From wheels and den building to music, crafts and plenty of football, there was a brilliant atmosphere around school and lots of smiling faces. ๐ณ๐จ๐นโฝ
A wonderful start to the day and a great way to celebrate England's win together! ๐๐ 22 Likes
