Parent Staff Association (PSA)
It has been very quiet on the PSA fundraising front over the last few months and as we approach the second half of the Summer Term it will be very helpful to regroup and come up with some fundraising initiatives to replace the Summer Fair, which is usually one of our biggest events of the year. It would be wonderful if we can get some new people involved in the committee as we know that we will need new leadership for the PSA from September. From our parent body of over 1000 people it will be such a shame if we cannot get anyone to lead the PSA and this vital income for the school then dries up! Please come along to the virtual meeting taking place on Tuesday 25th May at 19:30 to find out more about what is happening and volunteer to support our school. I look forward to seeing you there and hope that someone out there is ready to run with some fundraising ideas.

Mental Health Awareness Week
This week the school has been supporting Mental Health Awareness Week with a range of initiatives taking place across the school. Our whole school assembly this afternoon was hosted by the Owls Class who shared some for the techniques and ideas for mental well-being that they have been championing. We shared tapping and breathing techniques as well as gratitudes and strategies for how to share your worries if you have any. Thanks to the children in Owls for being such great ambassadors for positive mental health and well-being.
Walk to School Week
Our school is taking part in Walk to School Week (17-21 May). The nationwide event is organised by walking charity Living Streets and designed to help pupils experience first-hand the importance of walking to school. Children will be well on their way to reaching their recommended 60 minutes minimum of physical activity per day before even reaching the school gates! Not only will it set them up for a positive day in the classroom, but it will also help create healthy habits for life.
The theme of this year’s event is ‘Walking Superpowers’ and through the week, pupils will be introduced to five different Walking Superpowers who will teach them all about these benefits and reinforce the power of walking, superhero style!
