- Inayah
- Daniel
- Maxwell

Congratulations to the children who have received a Gold letter this week. They are:
- Iwinosa

Eid - authorised absence
If any of our Muslim families are celebrating Eid, we are happy to authorise a 1 day absence from school. You must inform us by phone, text or Gateway app for the absence to be authorised.
Recent letters and information sent to you
All letters and messages are sent via the School Gateway app. Please make sure you have the app on your phone/tablet/computer and that it is logged in and push notifications are set. Otherwise, you might miss important information.
Letters sent home recently:
- Summer Fayre non-uniform day flyers
- Class mixing for Year 6 in 2023-2024 (sent to Year 5 only)
This week we have been learning that there are different countries around the world. We have been looking at different famous landmarks such as Big Ben, The Eiffel Tower and The Great Wall of China.
You can use the internet to find these famous landmarks and talk about what they look like. As you talk it would be lovely for your child to have a go and draw one, then bring it in for a sticker!
