Stars of the Week!

Upper Prep pupils were our stars this week. The following people were all praised for their achievements this term:

Matilda (6P): For listening carefully in maths lessons, working methodically and completing morning work with greater accuracy.

Cameron (5F): For growing in confidence, particularly in mental maths lessons. Lovely use of personification in a poem that was read aloud in assembly.

Sophia (3S): For being very organised and for working hard on English comprehension tasks. Great perseverance!

Tiana (5F): For looking after new children in Year 5 with such care and kindness.

Caitlin (6P): For outstanding effort when singing during assemblies.

Congratulations to all our stars!
