  Year 6 have been making smoothies.

  Last week year 4 were invited apply to The Mini Police.  This is a 7 week programme for children aged between 8 to 10 years and aims to increase trust, confidence and provide safety messages and preventative education that will stay with them for life.

  PC Deborah Hart, who is our officer in charge, is working with the children each week to develop the children as good citizens.  They will cover a range of activities including Road Safety and a 'Social Action Project'.

   

  Today, was a special day as the children made a promise to become a mini police officer.  They received their uniform and their ID badges - of which they, and we, were very proud.
