I am SO proud of our Rocksteady bands, who last Friday performed for us in our Celebration Assembly. They all did a fantastic job, and after such a short space of time it was great to see so much talent and confidence on display. Please do sign up via the leaflets handed out if your child is interested in getting involved in Rocksteady next term. Thank you to all the families who joined us for our Friends Bingo event – a whopping £600 was raised for the school! This money will go to a variety of resources and curriculum areas – we will keep you updated, and we are so grateful for your continued support. Another impressive achievement – your generous donations raised £254.85 for Comic Relief! This is including the money raised by our school council stalls last week. Thank you! On Monday our Turtles and Penguins had a special visit and took part in Roman and Greek workshops; it was a brilliant day and the children got completely immersed in history! Great to see. Well done also to our Bears for a great class assembly on Wednesday, they all did a fantastic job. Today we celebrate Science ACE Day – we can’t wait to get stuck into Science and a world of pure imagination, as we travel around different Willy Wonka inspired activities throughout the day. Please join us this morning in classes for a sharing activity. Thank you for your collaboration during Parents Evening this week – working together is so important to us and please remember to contact us at any time if you have questions / issues you would like to discuss. Lions and Sharks start their Forest School sessions every Tuesday after Easter (as well as bears continuing) and Turtles start swimming every Monday. As school is closed over the Easter break, your normal paths to support may not be available so I’d like to remind you of other sources of help you can access. The 'Just One Norfolk' phone line and website are a good place to go - 0300 300 0123 or https://www.justonenorfolk.nhs.uk/ In an emergency, where you believe the safeguarding of a child is at risk, you can call the Children's Advice and Duty Service on 0344 800 8020. Enjoy Mrs Barber’s Friyay tunes today, and have a really lovely Easter break with friends and family. We look forward to seeing you back for the start of the summer term on Monday 13th April.
