School football team, by Mrs Pratten
Date: 17th Nov 2017 @ 12:41pm
The A team participated in a 7 aside football tournament at Priory. We all played really well, fantastic effort, we won 4 , drew 2 so the last game was crucial. It was against Whitefield and was very tight but sadly they scored in the last minute, which meant that they qualified for the next round. We were complimented on our team spirit and skill, well done team , we should fell very proud. Let's hope we get a bit of silverware in the league,
kind regards, Nicholas (team captain)

This week we have been focusing on friendships in school. We have read a story about being a 'bucket filler'. The story focuses on us making good choices and showing little acts of kindness towards others and how by doing this it also makes us feel happy. The children shared examples of their work in assembly on Thursday. It was also lovely to see lots of children get certificates in assembly today for being a good friend.

We had a very special assembly today as we welcomed Steven Jackson from Community Education Awards to our school to present Mr Pearson and the Enterprise year 6 group with the winning trophy for ' Money Management Award'. We were fortunate to be 'Highly Commended' for our sports leaders lunch time initiative, the digital leaders also and Mr Yates for 'Community Champion Award'.
