Good afternoon all,  How are we already at half term?! I feel this year will fly by. Well done to all children who showed their project this week - I was very impressed and learnt so much. Thank you all.  I do hope I will see you all during half term at our Fireworks event on 2nd November . It would be lovely to see you in attendance, it would be even better to have you volunteer to help run the event. We still need people to help run the even and it would be amazing if you could help. Without volunteers we are unable to run these events which raise money for our children. If you can help at all please contact myself or any members of the PTA. Thank you so much and I hope to see you all there!  500 Words Challenge I would like all Year 5 children to enter the BBC's 500 Words Challenge.

On the Nong Ning Nang  All the mice go Clang  And you just can't catch 'em when they do! So its Ning Nang Nong Cows go Bong! Nong Nang Ning Trees go ping Nong Ning Nang The mice go Clang What a noisy place to belong is the Ning Nang Ning Nang Nong!! Spike Milligan 'Please do not feed the animals...'  Please do not feed the ostriches sandwiches or the polar bears éclairs. Do not offer the wombats kumquats or the rattle-snakes fruit-cakes. Remember that piranhas are not allowed bananas or partridges sausages. Never approach a stork with things on a fork or the bustard with a plate of custard. No leopard likes anything peppered and meerkats dislike Kit Kats. Remember that grapes upset apes and meringues do the same for orang-utans. Most importantly– do not feed the cheetah your teac...
