Good afternoon all, 

I hope you are well! The weather has been kind to us this week and it has made this week fly by! We are really getting into the swing of things. 


PE reminder

Please can you to remind your children not to share their PE kit or football kit with others, as this helps maintain good hygiene. Additionally, we would like to bring to your attention that a pair of black and gold Adidas football boots, along with shin pads and other items, have recently gone missing. If you come across any of these missing items, kindly return them to school.

Your learning outcome could be a PowerPoint, a Word processed or handwritten project, a model or sculpture. This should demonstrate the research you have put in over the weeks before the deadline of  Monday 21st October when you will share your learning with the class.  

You could study (but are not restricted to):

Have a great weekend!
