AWARD WINNERS

Well done to all of our award winners this week!ATTENDANCE PRIZEAs mentioned last week, after half term we will be introducing a new attendance prize. To be in with a chance of winning a prize, children must be at school on time in the mornings. Every child who is at school on time every day will have their name entered into the prize draw. (If children are absent due to illness then this will not affect their overall score). One winner will be picked from each class and they will each win a £10 Argos voucher. But the prizes don’t stop there! All children with 100% for being on time will have their names entered into a whole school draw where one lucky person will win a Kindle Fire! Get those alarm clocks set!

WALK TO SCHOOL WEEKWalk to School Week will be held from Monday 18th – Friday 22nd May where we encourage our pupils to walk (or cycle or scoot!) to school each day or if this is not possible then park a little further away and walk a little more! We hope you and your child will take part. More information plus activity sheets etc; can be found at www.livingstreets.org.uk. Thank you.

HIDDEN WORDDon’t forget there’s one hidden word somewhere!! Add it to your apple answer sheet and bring it in before 22 nd May to be in with a chance of winning this term’s prize. Good luck!
