Festival of Learning.

Well done class Thistle and Bramble for your great projects. Through your fund raising you have made over £110.00, which will go to the charity Rainforest Concern. That's amazing!
 This charity allows you to sponsor acres of the Rainforest, offering protection from deforestation.

Class Bramble have raised some extra money to buy a small sapling to plant in our school field. Well done!



Recorder Concert.

The festival of learning started with a fantastic recorder concert, where all Year 2 children were included. It sounded beautiful. Well done everyone, we are very proud of all of you.
