During our lesson today we learnt all about: How can we keep ourselves safe online The fact that once something is sent, nothing is ever

Today the whole school went to our local cinema, Silver Screen, to watch Zootopia 2. We were very lucky to still be able to visit this side of Christmas as the cinema has been closed for ages to accommodate some building works, they just re-opened in time for us this morning. Everyone had a great time and were extremely well behaved.

During this term more children have had the opportunity to go reading with our Glendale buddies. We really appreciate the time that they give up to hear our children read and the children I take always say they have enjoyed themselves.
