Assembly
We had a whole school assembly today (Friday) celebrating and sharing our wonderful Class Charters. Each class showed off their display on the big screen and talked about why they chose the pictures and UNCRC Rights to represent their class and set their unique ethos. P1 and P2 sat and listened very well.
Achievements
We are regularly informed of new achievements by our talented children every day. Please do send in an email to me and we can share these via the HT Update every week.
