Head Teacher- Mrs Burden 

A huge well done to Sycamore class on their wonderful class assembly this week. It was lovely to see you all reading your words confdiently and showing lots of Courage. Next half term it is Hazel classes turn. 

Also this week our year 1 and 2 children were supposed to be visiting Hayling beach to learn about the final straw charity. Unfortunately this was cancelled by the charity due to the weather. We are hoping to rebook their visits for April or May next year. 

Have a wonderful half term everyone, we will see you all again on Tuesday 4th November.
