It was wonderful to see the enthusiasm throughout school towards reading last week. We ended the week with an opportunity for teachers to share some of their favourite reads and a visit from a self-published author! Remember reading doesn't stop with reading week.
"A Book is a dream that you hold in your hand"
What a great start to Book week! Class R bookworms started their week by choosing a book when they arrived in school on Monday morning then Mr Redmond led a whole school assembly to tell the children about events and special visitors that will be visiting during the week.
Happy Book Week!

Thank you so much - you made me smile as I came through the hall at the end of assembly today. How lucky we are to hear such lovely talent - thank you.
Year 6 have been learning how money is earned and to appreciate what value for money means.
They were given a budget to furnish and set up a classroom. In groups they used catalogues and laptops to provide a wish list of items and equipment needed- they couldn’t exceed their budget!
Great teamwork from everyone!
What a beautiful occasion this evening!
Our SING group sang beautifully at Smalley's annual Christingle Service - what a special moment when all the candles were lit and we sang together.
Thank you to all of our families and friends for their support.
Last week we welcomed special visitors into school. Members of our “Smalley Old Boys” and representatives from the Richardson Foundation came to school to enjoy lunch in Class 6. They then met children from Year 5 and 6 and enjoyed a presentation, by the children, of our Remembrance service, which was then aired on the BBC news the very next day.
It is always a privilege to watch the children and adults sing ‘Abide with me’ together in our school hall. Welcoming our wider community into school always gives our children a valuable experience and it is greatly appreciated by all of our visitors too.
