The KS 1 sports day took place on Thursday 13th June. Somehow the weather stayed dry and the children were able to show off their sporting prowess. The children moved around eight events, including a penalty shoot-out, a hurdles race, a shopping race and the classic egg and spoon race.
All the children showed brilliant sportsmanship and gave their all. Well done to everyone who took part and thank you to all the KS 1 teachers and classroom assistants who organised the event so well.

Bike Safety
Wed 12 Jun 2019We were very disappointed to receive an email from a parent about two of our boys cycling in a very dangerous manner near St Brendan's Church yesterday afternoon. In addition, neither of them was wearing a helmet. If your child cycles to school, please remind them of the importance of road safety and that we have a “no helmet, no bike” policy. They should also dismount at the gate and walk the bikes to the bike shed.

Sports Day
Wed 12 Jun 2019Weather permitting, the P2/P3 Sports Day will take place on Thursday and the P1 Sports Day on Friday. Both start at 9.30am on the grass pitch at the back. The children will need to make sure that they have trainers or PE shoes with them. Parents are most welcome to come and watch but we would ask that you remain on the tarmac area beside the pitch. Please remember that no photographs are to be taken of the children in the school grounds. We will be taking pictures on both mornings which will be put on the school website.
