THIS IS THE DAY THAT THE CIRCUS CAME to our school. FoSPS paid for this end of term entertainment, which allowed children to develop balance and co-ordination skills. Children practised juggling, stilt walking, balancing peacock feathers on the palms of their hands (give it a go), spinning diablos and balancing on pedal walkers.

The school has purchased some of the equipment and circus skills are on the menu for the new look lunch times. Each day there is a game of the day, for example frost and sun, a variation of "it" where a catcher "freezes" the children into statues. They have to be melted back into action by the "sun". This game of the day is led by a midday supervisor and is enjoyed by all age ranges.

There is also the use of our quiet area, a free play area which uses other equipment such as the diablos and juggling scarves and the use of the trim trail. The last piece of the trim trial - the Burma Bridge - is being installed this term. Thanks to FoSPS for their all their fund raising for this wonderful climbing equipment.

Once again we are collecting Sainsbury's Active Tokens and, when they begin, Tesco computer vouchers. If you don't know any one to pass these on to, just drop them off at the office.

Please keep sending in your old mobile phones, used ink cartridges and aluminium cans too.

We hope to see you at our Easter Egg Bingo on 24th March at 6pm, our Easter Service on 30th March 11am at St Mary's and at our end of term assembly on 31st March at 1.30pm.

Summer Term begins on Tuesday 18th April.
