Open the Book ran through The Last Supper.
Challah Bread
We have been busy today baking Challah bread.
As part of our RE topic, we have been looking at the Jewish religion and the tradition of Shabbat. We have baked the Challah bread as this is traditionally baked and shared during Shabbat.
We all decided that it tasted brilliant, so great the children all wanted the recipe to try at home.
Some of us got stuck into the washing up….we took photographic evidence so they can do this at home too. 
School Council March 2018
We have been busy recently planning the refurbishment of our school library.
Lots of very kind people across the community have contributed money to help us pay for the refurbishment and we are enjoying picking the soft furnishings.
The library is due to be fitted during the Easter holidays so we don’t have too long to wait for the library to be complete.
We have also been busy trying to make lunch times more interesting for all the children, getting some toys prepared to play with and also ensuring that they are looked after properly.
Finally we are planning a fundraising event for the summer term, in aid of Cancer Research, a cause we feel is important to us.
World Book Day Dress-up
Due to the weather and the closure of the school last week, we have decided to re-schedule the dress up day for Friday 9th March.
Children are invited to come to school dressed as their favourite book characters and have their favourite book to share with their friends and classes.
Thank you for your continued to support.
