Dear parents,

Our Year 2 Gardeners led our new volunteers by planting flowers for Glastonbury in Bloom in St John's square. They really enjoyed the experience, especially watering the plants at the end. They may have gotten a bit wet!

We have had a fantastic week of Sport and activity. Thank you to Mrs Bentley for organising and planning for the week. It's so important that we teach our children the benefits of staying active and healthy. 

Congratulations to Foxes class who were the most active class this week! They have won a class disco in school during the afternoon on Monday!

Stay safe in the sunshine and enjoy. 

Enjoy the weekend,

Kerry Devane

There is always a chance that a dog may fowl on the playground and not all children feel safe around dogs. Please be respectful of this.
