• Author Visit - Simon Murray is back

  Tue 31 Jan 2023

  Simon Murray, the Icky Doo Dah author, was back today to work with Year 4, 5 and 6. There was a buzz that an author was visiting us and going to share some of his writing and illustrating secrets with us.  The characters the children created and then the stories that formed in their imaginations were brought to life on story boards.  The pride they took in their work was wonderful to see.

• Heart Of the Community (HOC) Assembly

  Tue 24 Jan 2023

  With all the excitement and full diary before Christmas the Autumn HOC assembly happened this morning.  It was wonderful to be able to invite proud parents in to celebrate their children's achievements in helping the community.

  Children have been raising money, befriending and helping elderly neighbours, writing to park rangers requesting more litter bins, collecting litter to improve the environment for animals, buying and delivering food to food banks as well as others.

  They are showing that the legacy of Mrs Mills, a lollypop lady that helped keep CKS children safe for decades, still inspires us today.

  Many KS2 children also received their STEP badges (Sorry, Thank you, Excuse me , Please) this morning too.

   

  Mrs Taylor is taking HOC pledges now for the end of the Spring term.
