Happy Friday all and happy half term!  What a fantastic first half term it’s been! A huge thank you to all who came along to our parent consultations this week.

Happy Friday all!  We’ve had such a brilliant week in Year 5! The children have been absolutely fantastic — engaged, curious, and full of thoughtful questions. We were lucky enough to have two very special visitors. The NSPCC came in to lead a workshop about staying safe and speaking out, which the children responded to so maturely. We also had a fascinating visit from Mr Hall from Google , who taught us all about systems, the internet, Google and the amazing ways technology is used. The children were captivated throughout — a huge thank you to Mr Hall for giving up his time to inspire us! A quick reminder that Parents’ Consultations are taking place next week . Please make sure you’ve booked a time to meet with me — it’s really important that we have a chance to talk about your child’s progress and how we can continue to support their learning together.
