Celebrating Success
Road to Rio – The whole school are taking part in this initiative being run by Wiltshire Council. Each week we are accumulating kilometres as a school team from the physical activities we are doing in and outside of school. Every 15 minutes of exercise = 1km. Our aim is to reach Rio by the end of term 6! We are doing fantastically well so far and are 30% towards our end goal.
Class winners – week 1
1st Dove
2nd Merlin
3rd Owl
Week 1 Total = 4084km – keep up the hard work!!!

Riverford Veg Boxes – Children are being sent home with a leaflet today regarding Riverford veg boxes. Riverford are a local veg box company who have approached the school as they are keen to help support us in promoting healthy eating. For every family who signs up for 3 veg boxes, Riverford will donate £15 to the school which will go towards funding all the extra-curricular enrichment activities for our children. Riverford will have a stand at the Strawberry Fair, so please do go along and visit Vicki the veg lady for more information.
