Worship
On Monday, we spoke about how listening to one another as a friend is really important and if we do not listen to one another, our friendships could suffer. I asked the children to consider listening to one another this week and demonstrating they were listening, by giving eye contact, nodding when someone was talking and responding. I have really noticed some of the children taking this on board and developing their communication skills. Today we celebrated all of our wonderful stars of the week, house point certificates and medals. I also celebrated all of the children who took part in the Bubble Rush last week and I would like to mention a big well done to Oscar and Samuel in Year 5 raising funs in memory of Noah. Well done boys!

Art Competition
The CPRE Hertfordshire's 2024 Children's Art Competition is now open and ready for entries. The competition is open to all year groups.
The theme this year is Why I Love The Countryside.
Children can draw anything related to what they love about the Hertfordshire countryside. Their drawings could be related to local wildlife, beautiful scenery, flower fields, trees through the seasons etc.
There is a prize for the winning school and individual prizes in each age group category. Wouldn’t it be great if we could win nature books for the school library and £500 to spend on creating an environmentally-friendly outdoor space?
The entry should be A4 in any medium (paint, pencil, pastel, collage).
The closing date for submitting your entries to the competition is Friday 12th July. Please hand to your class teacher or directly to Mrs Bruguier. Please label the back with your name and year group.
