Well done to @EmmanuelMiddle for organising a dress as your dream job day. My youngest daughter wanted to go as a teacher. @ProutSuzanne take note of her reading material!

This event was a great experience for our pupils. Thank you @CorfeHills for inviting us and providing so much inspiration for their future.
We were delighted to welcome Year 8 students from @AllenbournMiddle @LockyersMiddle and @thebourneacademy to our Cyber First event today. The students enjoyed a full day of Computer Science activities with Miss Early and some of our Year 9 students.

Friday saw the latest Initio Online Safety Day delivered across Allenbourn to great success. Today my full attention turned to planning for these Micro:bits V2’s to be used with our Y6. I can’t wait to see this rolled out in our schools soon.
