This morning we had a very special assembly to celebrate Jonah’s Great-Grandad’s 100th birthday!  We learned all about how things have changed since 1918 and in particular technology!  Following the assembly Jack was interviewed by our ‘Rushall Dragon’ reporters – look out for their report in the next edition of our school newspaper.

Conor and Owen are also celebrating their birthdays today!

Congratulations to Miss Faulkner who has recently been received a ‘Best Practise’ award for her work in supporting families through ‘Early Help’.  We are delighted that the local authority has recognised Miss Faulkner’s work in this way!

Thank you to all of the children who have helped this week with our assemblies about Eid.  The children spoke with enthusiasm and confidence, answering questions and helping us all to learn more about the celebrations that will take place shortly.  We wish all of our families who celebrate it a very happy Eid!

Our First Aid training for parents on Friday on ‘choking’ was very successful with very good attendance.  We look forward to offering further training from now in response to requests from parents.  Our next session will focus on CPR, details to follow.

A huge congratulations to our talented story writers in year 2 who have had their short stories published in a book!  The children were selected via a young writers competition where they were asked to write a short story on a story land theme such as: Blue Lagoon, Screamsville, Heroes’ Hideout or Enchanted Island.  Our children completed this work independently at home and we are so proud that their work has been published, well done!
