This week children have been learning about different countries and cultures around the world as part of International week. The highlights were our sharing assembly on Friday and our annual international food festival on Wednesday.

We would like to thank all the parent, carers and children who supported our food festival. It was a mouthwatering treat, sampling food from all around the world. A special thank you goes out to all the parents who donated food and made delicious dishes for the festival, and to local businesses Pizza Hut and Lando Family Butchers in Downham for their generous donations!

A full copy of the Summer term pupil questionnaire responses is published on the school website here...

Notable headlines:

• From 370 returns, 97% of pupils are happy to come to school
• 99% felt that they learnt a lot in class
• 97% reported that behaviour was good
• 38% reported that children were friendly and polite most of the time and 57% felt that children were sometimes friendly and polite. This will be a focus in future assemblies and school council.

This week, year 4 have been on school journey to Windmill Hill, East Sussex. They have had an adventure packed week including Archery, Abseiling, Canoeing, Raft building, climbing Jacob’s ladder and a Blindfolded sensory trail through the woods!

To find out more about their adventures, follow us on twitter and catch up on all the Tweets and pictures.

Year 6 have been sitting SATs tests all week, which finished yesterday. We are immensely proud of all of the children and the hard work they have been putting in for several months now. Year 6 teachers would also like to extend a thank you to parents and carers, for your support during this time. We have all worked incredibly hard and shown tremendous teamwork.

Well done to Years 3, 4, and 5, who have also been doing end of year tests this week!
