District sports Congratulations to everyone who represented our school at the District Sports at the Guildford Spectrum last Tuesday 21st June. It was a tremendous team effort with all our athletes throwing, jumping and running to the absolute best of their ability. Many of our children had the exciting experience of standing on the podium to receive gold, silver and bronze medals. Our school finished 3rd overall out of six schools which was a fantastic performance.

Year 6 Roles and Responsibilities  - We have been very impressed by the enthusiasm of the children in year 6 for taking on additional responsibilities and looking after the welfare of other children in school. This week saw the announcement of the Playground Buddies/ Well being Ambassadors. They will be working in daily teams of four to support and guide younger children on the playground during morning play and lunch times. It is so good to have such a large group of volunteers.

Having access to books during lockdown is essential. It is important children continue to read regularly at home. We appreciate that families are trying to balance a lot at the moment but the importance of making reading part of your child's daily routine cannot be understated. Obviously, it is slightly more tricky to get hold of books in the current situation. This newsletter gives you details of two sites which you can use to access books for free.
