Olympic Week
Well done to all the children for making our Olympic Opening ceremony very special. The children all worked really hard making Olympic torches and learning songs and dances.

An Olympic Torch Runner came into school yesterday. He is raising money for cancer research so money raised from the non-uniform day will go towards this worthy cause.
Our closing ceremony will be on Monday which will then open our Eco Week, Green Day.
