Chickens The whole school observed a very exciting experience in March when our eggs hatched. The chicks are now grown and the hen coop has been positioned in the school garden. This is an exciting development for us all, as we work with the children to engage them in rearing the chickens, and possibly other tame animals such as rabbits in the future. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Stephen for building the fantastic coop and assembling the hen house.
Year 6 SATs The children are working extremely hard on their SATs and look forward to the end of the week. Year 2 Sats will be undertaken throughout this month in small groups.
Car Parking/Speeding I continue to be seriously concerned about the thoughtlessness of some parents, who persistently park illegally and dangerously and are speeding in the car park where young children are walking. PLEASE SORT IT OUT BEFORE WE HAVE AN ACCIDENT! Could I also emphasise that the Pavilion Car Park is for staff and deliveries only, and is not for parents dropping children off.
