Well done to Evie & Daniyal, our new Year 3 school council members. An excellent piece of writing and a great presentation won the votes of their peers.
Our Year 6 pupils have been busy creating circus-themed artwork inspired by Henri Matisse. Here is just a sample of their amazing work…
Fantastic writing from Jessie in Year 3! They were asked to describe the circus and he has used some fabulous description and has been extremely creative! (We have to reassure you that there were no elephants at Happy's Circus on Saturday!
Did you see our school field turn into a circus ground at the weekend? We managed to capture a timelapse of the circus tent being erected. The Happy's Circus team were amazing to watch - to think that they do this in different places around the country every day is incredible! They must be exhausted!
Do you shop in Asda? If you do, you can support our school's fundraising by downloading their app and Asda will give the school money every time you spend.
