Message from the Headteacher It has been a
pleasure to see and hear the growing enthusiasm
from the children as they welcome me each morning
with their ideas and compositions of new words
for the song Hes Got the Whole World in His
Hands. This is such a wonderful song to hear the
children sing alongside our daily prayers and
mantras. It really reminds us of the huge world
in which we all live.

Year 1 trip - Botanical gardens On Wednesday
the 26th June, the children in Year 1 had a
lovely day in the Botanical Garden. We were very
grateful to have had such a beautiful blue sky
day!  The children got into small groups and set
off on the exciting maths trail around the
garden. They had a map to read and follow, which
took them to all the different activities. They
were very busy counting, measuring, looking for
shapes and adding, and all in a real-life
setting! After their trail, they enjoyed a picnic
on the grass, as you can see in the photo. Well
done to Year 1 for your excellent behaviour on
the trip!
Many thanks! To those families who came last
Saturday and helped out in the school gardens.
Everyone agreed the time went so fast and we
really achieved a lot! Representatives of the
Royal Horticultural Society visited this week and
were impressed by the beginnings of our gardens.
