Sports Day Results
The winning team this year is Purple Team! The runners up were: 2nd Reds, 3rd Yellow and White, 4th Blue and 5th Green. In my eyes we are all winners, so well done to everyone for coming along and taking part in the rain. Great Middle Street team spirit!
Thank you to all the parents, carers and families who kindly did as requested and sat in the allocated seats for parents. I believe there were no more than 2 parents who refused to abide by that request. The support of everyone is greatly appreciated as it helps us keep all the children calm and safe during the event. Thank you to our sports day stewards, to the finishing line parent helpers, to all the staff and the biggest thank you most of all to the children for just being brilliant!
Middle Street in Bloom
You may have noticed a magical transformation in the raised flower beds leading up to the school entrance. This transformation has occurred with the help of the Gardening club and a donation of funds for plants from Gunns the florists. Paley O Connor, a parent volunteer has entered the school in the ‘City in Bloom’ competition. Judging takes place at 11am on 6th July, so keep your fingers crossed.
