Please find Star Writer work displayed in the Heart Space. Junior Road Safety Officers

Hello, We are the Junior Road Safety Officers; Erika, Mya, Altaf and Serenite. Our role is to promote road safety awareness and encourage everyone to stay alert when crossing the road. Every month we will give each class a “WOW” chart that stands for “Walk on Wednesdays”. We hope that we will encourage everyone to walk to school more often and children who achieve this will be rewarded with a “WOW” badge.

Dancing & Drumming On Monday 5th February

Lynx, Lions, Tigers, Leopards and Panthers presented a fantastic drumming & dancing performance. Thanks to all parents/carers for your great attendance of the event, it

was a wonderful occasion.
