19 January 2024 – Newsletter – Disco, Forest School Update, Pastoral Drop-In and more

A note from Mr Applegate

It’s been another busy week! We’ve been thinking about “influencers”, including Martin Luther King Jr, Robert Swan, and St Mark’s children :)

Year R continue their theme of People Who Help us, and it’s been lovely to have parents in their work capacity supporting our learning. Thank you.

Children’s Mental Health Week is coming up in 2 weeks, which includes Safer Internet Day on Tues 6th Feb; this will be non-uniform and childre are encouraged to wear something orange if possible – the colour of Safer Internet Day. More to come!

Have a great weekend, Mr Applegate
