Weekly Round up: Autumn Term Week 10

Thank you to Anya from King’s Senior School for a fabulous performance of Down at the Drive-in by Steve Pogson on the flute.  She had apparently been a little flustered this morning (having forgotten her flute!) but you would never have known from the way she played.  It was fantastic.  Thank you Anya!

Reception:

• Winston received a well-deserved certificate for Perseverance this morning, for displaying more engagement with his learning this week.
• Ben is the class Super Star because he always comes in to school with a big smile and ready to learn.
