Did you know we have no bells this year?We have added teaching clocks all round the school - inside and out. So many benefits: No more noisy bell (jumping when it rings) and everybody has to read/learn to tell the time. School is a nicer place to be!

Thinking of our families who live near the fire. It must have been a scary night for some. We'll be giving out hugs on Monday morning and will be there for a chat if anyone needs it. 2 major fires locally recently is a lot for little people (and big ones too). 💜

We wondered how closing Renfrew Street & reclaiming it from cars for children would go.Some children tried a bike for the very first time, some built a cardboard city, some made hand art on the street. ALL had fun! Good for the planet, body and mind.
