We had so much fun on Thursday at the Year 2 Fashion Show! Thank you, parents and carers, for coming to watch the children. They worked really hard on their creations and their walks at school and were so excited to share their learning with you! We hope you enjoyed yourselves too.

In September we will be making regular class visits to Newington Library. The children will have the opportunity to meet with the librarian, use library resources and borrow books to bring home and read. If your child already has a KCC library card, they can bring this along on their visit. If your child does not have a library card, you can either sign up for this at your local KCC library or you can fill in the attached and return to us before the end of term and we will pass this along to Newington Library.'
The Reading Agency and libraries are excited to introduce the 2024 Summer Reading Challenge, Marvellous Makers!

We will hold a special assembly to celebrate the participants when we return to school in September.
