More photos are on display in the library – come and take a look!
Don’t forget it is World Book Day on Thursday (1st March) and remember to come to school dressed as Wally or Wenda.

If you haven’t pre-ordered your Jane Elson books don’t worry you can still bring money in on the day. Books are priced at £6 each.
Author, Daniel Ingram-Brown visited children in Years 4,5, and 6 this afternoon.
Dan ran a session all about his books and about writing, talked about developing characters and the children had the opportunity to create their own monsters.
