Our Summer Carnival is tomorrow. The circus is coming and there are lots of very exciting attractions for everyone to enjoy.  Please remember that if you are bringing your car that you park sensibly and respect our neighbours.  Arrangements have been made to use both the Village Hall and St Marks parking.

The children will be parading with their masks at 1.45 from the infant playground and the Carnival will open at 2pm and finish at 5pm.  We are really looking forward to a fun filled day!

Next Week

Wednesday Yr1/2 trip to Paradise Wildlife Park

Friday Yr4 Class Assembly at 9.05

ARTS FESTIVAL starting at 1.30pm and going on to around 5pm. (Order of acts will be distributed early next week)

Sport

This week our juniors have competed in the St Albans School Athletics Competition. This involved children running, throwing and jumping. They had a great time and competed well. Special thanks to Miss Franklin, Mr Moultser and Miss Moss for organising.

School Pet

After our school election the children have chosen a tortoise as our new school pet. With the help of Yr6 school councillors and funding from the PTA we now have a 1 year old tortoise.  We have named her Esio Trot and her home will be our library. The name comes from a Roald Dahl book and has a hidden meaning!
