If you could have any super power, what would you have and why?
This Week
Wow we were blown away this week with our Year 5 pupils and there incredible effort at Young Voices. It is such a wonderful experience for our children to take part in and the children were so excited and enthusiastic throughout! Well done Year 5 and well done to all the staff who taught them the songs and accompanied them on the trip, it was fab! Today was a fun filled day with our break the rules and I loved all the crazy hair and face paints, it was great to see all the assortment of ideas in assembly! Reminder that it is parents evening next week, please do book an appointment as it is so important to see how your child is progressing. I hope to see everyone at some point next week! I would fly if I had a super power so that I could travel to other countries and escape the rain! Look forward to hearing what super powers the children would choose. Have a great weekend.
