We hope that you have all had a fun filled and relaxing half term and we are looking forward to seeing everyone on Monday. Children don’t forget to complete your application if you would like to be part of the Pupil Safeguarding Community. The closing date is Monday 26th February. If you can’t remember what you need to do, don’t worry, the information is in last week’s newsletter :-).
Children, this half term’s values are ‘Courage and Determination‘. Courage is when you are brave enough to try something new and determination is when you don’t give up. Here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2G8KVzTwfw) is a video of an athlete racing in the Olympics. It took courage to enter the race and great determination to prepare for it and then to finish the race. When have you been brave and not given up in school or at home?
Enjoy the last day of your half term holiday and see you on Monday!
