This is a lovely activity for this weekend - the Big Butterfly Count!

Big Butterfly Count Be part of this nationwide survey and help take the pulse of nature. Butterfly declines reveal the poor health of the environment. We need your sightings.

Our Year 6s left with a bang today and with a wonderful whole school send off!

Good luck Year 6! We know you will be amazing in your secondary schools!

We hope all of our families have a wonderful summer break! See you all in September!

At Suffolks, WE LOVE TO READ!

Tony Dallas, the CEO and founder of Success Club, brought some very special guests with him today! Three Tottenham Hotspur players from the U18 squad came and read some wonderful stories in Year 2 and Year 3.

Afterwards, our Year 5 and Year 6s asked some excellent questions! 'Who inspires you the most?'
'If you were not a football player, what would you be?'
'What diet do professional footballers eat?'
and most importantly... 'Which football team do you support?'

Our school council had a very important meeting yesterday! As a group they discussed updating our rules for our playground swing and discussed the importance of one of our key values, friendship!

Our school council were democratically voted by their peers after they used their skills of public speaking to gain the votes needed!

Today is SAFER INTERNET DAY!

We have been learning lots today about how to stay safe online and the steps we can take to protect ourselves. We also looked back at our online safety unit from the Autumn term - it's important we use our learning so we don't lose it!

This year's theme is 'Want to talk about it?'

We have done lots of work around who we can speak to if we are feeling unsafe online.

The children were also reintroduced to the CEOP button which is an online reporting platform that they can use if they are concerned around online abuse. The CEOP button can be found on our school website in the pupil zone. For more information, please click the link.
