Y5 children will be participating in their Bikeability course on Monday 24th February

and Monday 2nd March. They must come to school with their bike and helmet

otherwise they will not be able to participate.

Children can wear their PE kit on both Mondays but they must wear their grey marl

joggers as they are outside all day. Any other joggers are not permitted as they are

not school uniform. All children will need a coat, hat and scarf to keep warm.

Dodgeball

Well done to our Y2 pupils who competed in the

dodge ball competition, put on by LSC.

We are extremely proud of them for their great

sportsmanship, wonderful behaviour and team work.

They played very well and came 6th. Well done!

They all came home with a medal each and big

smile on their faces!
