As you will already know, we have recently purchased a new reading scheme. Our literacy co-ordinators and reading ambassadors have now completed an audit of the books we have in school and we have some books from our old stock which we would like to sell to raise some money to buy even more new books!

We have organised for ‘The Ministry of Chocolate’ to come and visit Year 3 children. To support their learning in class, this workshop will take children on an exciting, comprehensive and very carefully crafted ‘chocolate journey’. The workshop has a very high visual and physical stimulus content.  The children will get to see and touch real cocoa pods, real cocoa beans and taste a little bit of cocoa nib. They will learn about the history and origins of chocolate; the cocoa harvesting process; the main principles behind Fairtrade; health & wellbeing aspects of chocolate: the children will see / touch / smell the main ingredients (cocoa paste and cocoa butter).

Our Academy Council are blown away with generosity of our children and their families. Our Spotty Day raised an amazing £289.70. Thank you all so much! We all enjoyed a Spotacular day!!
