Today Tiger and Panda class made shortbread biscuits. First of all we had to measure the butter and sugar and mix it. Next, we added the flour and then we had to roll out the mixture. We had to remember to put flour on the table before rolling out our mixture or it got stuck. Afterwards, we cut our mixture and decorated our biscuits. Finally we sent them to the kitchen to be cooked. We really enjoyed this activity and we would like to thank our helpers and the ladies in the kitchen. We are looking forward to eating them.
If your child takes too much time off school they will become categorised as PA or persistently absent. Missing school will make your child fall behind in lessons and will impact on their academic progress and achievement.
Below is the percentage of children per year group who currently fall into this category. If you are worried about your child’s school attendance, please do not hesitate to contact the school where we can work with you to improve this.

| 1 | 11% |
| 2 | 13% |
| 3 | 18% |
| 4 | 13% |
