We are joining the OPAL scheme in September, and we have already started to make some changes to the breaktimes and lunchtimes. As part of our preparation for this, we need to hear your opinions about playtime within school and what you think is going well and what could be improved. Please can you find five minutes to complete our survey (https://forms.gle/geYhwzy44hzuyMW48) the more responses we get the better we are informed about what is going well and what we need to change.
We are also asking for your opinions on changing the school uniform to a more active style of uniform. This will mean no more sorting out separate Forest School and PE kits in the morning as the uniform will be suitable for both activities. Please take the time to complete the survey (https://forms.gle/8VHKBwtw5VY2xwAB8). There is a sample of the uniform outside the school office for you to have a look at. If you have any questions, please ask Mr Hill.

Shenley 6 Monksmead 3 Congratulations Year 6!
The OPAL "Golden welly" award this week goes to Y6, well done!
The neighbouring trees were damaged in a storm,
so the Forest School "mud kitchen" has been 'out of action' for months,
waiting for the tree damage to be repaired.
Meanwhile, the weeds went crazy!!
Admire our "before" and "after" shots, ECO council worked really hard...
ECO council weeded the Mud Kitchen, quite a "before" and "after!"
Sports Day practice!
