Congratulations to Year 3 who have achieved the most activity points again this term. FANTASTIC! I'm also very pleased to see Year 1 with such a great score too – well done Year 1!
This term we have 59 bronze, 12 silver and 2 gold certificate holders, Can we go for gold certificates next term?
Looking at our top three children in each class; it is interesting to see more boys' names than girls. Come on girls let's see if we can have more girls in the top three in our last term.
