We all enjoyed meeting Flo, the Willen Hospice mascot, learning a dance with her and then dancing, walking, running, scooting or cycling around the field and playground, raising money for the fantastic work that Willen Hospice does. Thank you to all children, parents and carers for supporting us.
The whole school enjoyed our World Cultural Diversity Day. We learnt all about the different countries that our friends come from, and had the chance to taste lots of delicious food from around the world. Thank you so much to all of our parents and carers for supporting our special day.

This year to support Children in Need, children will be given a raffle ticket for every 50p brought in. All raffle tickets will be collected and one child will then get the chance to win a Pudsey Bear teddy! The draw will take place on Monday 22nd November, when Year 2 return.
Children can wear their own clothes too (if they have something spotty, that would be great!)
Thank you very much for the wonderful assortment of food items that the children brought into school. We created quite a display for our assembly! All the food was donated to The Food Bank, and they have sent us a thank you letter in appreciation of our support of their charity. We would like to pass this thanks onto you for supplying the items.

Last Friday, Reception had a fantastic trip to Rookery Farm, near Stoke Bruerne. They enjoyed seeing lots of different farm animals and also had time to play in the play park and huge sandpit! The weather was predicted to be very wet, but the sun shone on our Reception Class!
