Don't forget the Three Brook Challenge on Wednesday. Mary Poppins will be at Ritabrook, James Bond will be at Ellenbrook and we are hoping to get Hello Kitty at Annbrook. All you have to do is get the three 'punches' on your card between 8.15am and 8.45am and then exchange your completed card for a prize at the Y3/4 gate before you come in. Print off a card or even better, make your own card on a piece of recycled paper (an old envelope, bill or piece of homework).

Would you be interested in 'Free Wheels' ? Free Wheels is a pilot project delivered by Suffolk County Council, funded through Suffolk County Council Public Health and Active Travel England. The project aims to support more children to cycle safely and confidently by improving access to bikes and cycle training, particularly for pupils who do not have a suitable bike at home. By encouraging cycling at an early age, Free Wheels supports physical activity, wellbeing, and the development of lifelong active travel habits. How the project works Free Wheels works in partnership with a small number of targeted primary schools to support Year 5 and 6 pupils. As part of the pilot: Schools help identify pupils who may benefit from access to a bike. Eligible pupils are offered a free long-term loan bike, provided by Suffolk County Council. Pupils take part in Bikeability cycle training. Parents and carers are supported with bike safety and basic maintenance information.

Year 5 had a brilliant time at St Peter's Church this afternoon consolidating this term's RE learning on the Eucharist. We shared bread and grapes and discussed the importance of communion for Christians. The children's behaviour was exemplary both walking to and from and at the church. Thank you Emily and the team.
