There was also a special award in computing given this week, as Kyle, who had previously been unsuccessful in his application, finally earned his badge and status as one of the digital leaders for his class.

Attendance
For the second week running, Class 2S won the KS Attendance Cup with 95%. The best attendance in school and winners of the KS2 Attendance Cup were Class 4S with 97%.
This week we were hit heavily by a lot of coughs, colds, sickness and temperatures as our attendance only reached 89%. We wish everybody well and are hoping for a healthier week next week.
Team Points
In KS1 the team cup was shared by Windsor and Sterling teams this week, while our KS2 winners, Caernarfon ran away with the Team Cup, 8 points ahead of their nearest rivals.
Sterling remain well out in front, in the race for the Friars Cup but last year’s winners Caernarfon, have made ground on Stormont in second place this week after a bumper points haul.
Congratulations to all of our winners this week!
