Happy Friday all!  This week has flown by. We have started our new topics and have hit the ground running. I would like to remind you all that our Sumdog competition has started today and will finish on Thursday evening . This is a bigger competition compared to the last one. Good luck to you all! Also, tonight at 9pm is the cut off for the submission of the BBC's 500 Words competition. Thank you to everyone who has entered! I am aware we haven't had a spelling test this week, spellings will resume next week.  Next week is Anti-Bullying Week. On Tuesday the children can come to school wearing odd socks and Friday we are having a non-uniform day for Children in Need 2024.  Online Safety I wanted to take a moment to address concerns that have recently come to my attention.
