I hope you all enjoyed the Easter break; it has been lovely to welcome the children back to school.
We began the week with assembly on Tuesday with truly incredible singing! The children raised the roof with ‘Another School Day’, including the chorus:
Try my best in every single way.
A lot of care a lot of heart,
Another day, another start.
Be the best that I can be today
Then in assembly this morning, we heard many of the different ways that some of our children had been the best they could be this week. Children received headteacher awards for improved handwriting, powerful descriptive writing, persevering when sewing (tricky when you are just 6 or 7!) and geography knowledge to share just a few. I was impressed after hot chocolate when every child said thank you completely unprompted – well done children, what super stars you are.
We also awarded our half-termly running medals. Running is an important and much-loved part of our school curriculum. Tomorrow Miss Gibbs and I will be accompanying 25 of our Year 5/6 children as they run the TCS Mini London Marathon. What a wonderful opportunity for them to run in front of Buckingham Palace and down The Mall.
The PTFA are hosting their first Melbourn Fun Run on Sunday 11th May. Places are still available from both the 5k and the family 2K route.
