Rubbish!
We are endeavouring to become a rubbish free school. We have removed the rubbish bins from the classrooms and playground. Clean and dry items can only be put in the recycling bin. Food waste will go in the compost bins. The children will bring home any rubbish from their lunches which cannot be recycled.Well done to all for the positive and successful introduction of this scheme.
Lost something? Lost Property is now located in the red and green chest under the old stairs. Can we please remind you to put names on all items of uniform.
House Points. Everyone is working hard earning points for their teams. House points are earned for politeness, being kind to each other, helping each other, being patient and keeping the school clean and tidy.
Food Dudes. Everyone has been enjoying Food Dudes. There has been lots of fruit and vegetables to try! What was your favourite? We encourage everyone to bring in fruit and vegetables as part of their healthy lunches.
Assembly Themes:
Reduce reuse and recycle.
The powers of positive and negative comments.
Complimenting people to make their day.
