Happy Chinese New Year! P1 made a Chinese Dragon for Chinese New Year in the playground this morning and lots of us had great fun playing on it and extending it during lunch time, as well as playing the usual games of den building, tree climbing, tig, wearing coats back to front and card tricks!

Our first ever Movie Night was a huge success on Friday evening with a full house for our screening of ‘Sing-a-long The Greatest Showman’! Everyone seemed to enjoy the show and the evening.  Thank you to the PTA for organising this event and to everyone who stayed behind at the end to help clear up.

A huge thank you to everyone who sent in the Big Cat Collins Vouchers from Sun newspaper last term. We received a box full of lovely new books this week to add to the Big Cat books we already have in school.
