What a fantastic day the children had on our Diploma Day! The aim was to learn new skills, develop our learning behaviours, and enjoy working with other pupils across the school. The activities to chose from were:

Thanks for sending in Easter Eggs on Wednesday. The Thames Vale Vultures arrived on the playground with their Gold Wing Motorbikes and the children went out class by class to hand over their eggs and have a look at the bikes. A massive 457 Eggs were collected from both schools for the Variety Club to give to needy children. Thank you.

Wow, well done Kings Furlong!  On Tuesday 1st April our Year 4 rugby team went to Basingstoke Rugby Club to compete in a schools tournament.  The children showed fantastic teamwork and played their socks off.  They won 3 of their matches and drew 1.  Following such great results the team was entered into the final.  Unfortunately they didn’t win this last game but 3 – 2 was a great result.  The children were a real asset to our school and should be complimented on both their team spirit and sportsmanship.

Our theme this week is responsibility. Quite often we have to make hard choices because of our responsibilities, and we want our pupils to develop a sense of ‘doing the right thing’, and understanding the consequences of decisions.

Remember that Disco and Easter Egg tickets are on sale in the community room from 3pm each day. 

Thank you for everyone’s efforts for Sports Relief- we raised over £225! Wow!
