  Mon 06 May 2024 Kirsty Palmer

  Congratulations to Miss Rees's class, Y2ER. They have won the battery collection competition for April by collecting 240 batteries. This is the second time they have won- well done everyone, we appreciate your efforts.

  Please keep supporting the Eco Committee and the school in this great scheme- the children are really behind it and love hearing who has won each month. May winners will be announced just before the end of the month, before we go off for half term- so only 3 weeks to collect this time.

   

  Thank you from the Eco Committee

• March Battery competition winners

  Tue 09 Apr 2024 Kirsty Palmer

Because of the Easter break they were only collecting for a couple of weeks so they did really well. Please keep supporting the Eco Committee and the school in this great scheme- the children are really behind it and love hearing who has won each month. April winners will be announced at the end of the month.

• World Water Day Update

  Tue 02 Apr 2024 Kirsty Palmer

  World Water Day: March 22nd 2024
  Thank you to everyone who donated on World Water Day. On the last day of term the children looked amazing dressed in blue. They enjoyed an informative assembly lead by the Eco Committee about the importance of clean water, the water crisis around the world and the work of WaterAid and participated in a 1k sponsored walk. Thank you for your generous donations. We raised £183.46 for WaterAid. The children learnt that as little as £15 can buy a water supply  for a community and £50 can train a person to keep that waterpipe working- so your donations will really make a difference.
   

  Many thanks for your support.

  Mrs Palmer and the Eco Committee

  A huge thank you from myself and the Eco Committee. Because of your support we collected a whopping 554kg of unwanted clothes and accessories. All of this will go to help the people of Ukraine. By re-using clothes items we are helping our environment too. We also managed to raise £277 for the school.

  Thank you for your continuing support.
