SOS STARS

Well done to the SOS winners this week – Daisy, Isaac, Paisley, Layla. The focus was on ‘Push Yourself’ and these children have demonstrated that they are willing to work hard with their learning and not give up if things are hard. Xander and Tulip received the lunchtime award this week as they had demonstrated positive friendship behaviour. Lastly, Belle and Ivor won the award for good attendance, receiving a Smyths voucher each.
