Next week is Children in Need and as a school we would normally ask for donations for the charity.
However, this year we have our sponsored event to support 'Sports for Champions' so did not want to ask for more money from our families.
Children can still come to school dressed in bright colours and wearing Pudsey ears if they would like to. They do still need to wear comfortable shoes to take part in the Sponsor Sports Challenge that day too.
Sponsor forms and money can be returned to school once completed and collected.
Thank you for your continued support! ... See MoreSee Less

They then explored the museum and found the mummified bodies they had just been learning about. They had a fantastic day and have thoroughly enjoyed their work on the Ancient Egyptians. ...
