The Swimathon was held on Sunday, and 24 children splashed their way up and down the pool for 55 minutes in a bid to raise money for the school. They were amazing and our current total is £1,456!

This week we had our first visit to Queen’s Court Care Home. The children, Reverend Rosie and the residents enjoyed some craft activities together and some of the children took along games and toys to share with the residents. The children thoroughly enjoyed themselves and we are looking forward to returning next term. Experiences like this help children develop empathy, confidence, and respect for others, while residents benefit from the joy and energy the children bring. It was a wonderful reminder of the importance of community and the positive impact kindness can have on everyone involved.

Year 3 were very lucky to welcome Jaik’s mum to school to talk about Diwali and answer many questions from the interested children. We heard the story of Rama and Sita before going outside to make our own Rangoli patterns.
