Odd Socks and Anti-bullying - head Pupils will be leading assemblies with children next week as part of anti-bullying week. To show recognition of this important week, they are asking all children to come to school wearing odd socks for the whole week. This year's theme is 'Power for Good'.
Children in Need - Friday 14th November - this year, we would like to to do something slightly different in support of our local food bank. Linked to the 2025 theme, 'challenge yourself', we are inviting families to donate a box of cereal, instead of a monetary donation. We will be creating a domino effect on the playground, demonstrating to children that each act of kindness has a knock on effect to others around us. The cereal will then be donated to the local food banks to support local children and families in need. The date for this will be Friday 14th November. Children are excited about this already and we have agreed that more than one box of cereal is welcome.

REMINDERS!!!! Please ensure your child has a named coat or waterproof in school for break times - we do like to get outside even if it's a bit drizzly. Earrings must be removed for PE lessons. Please check the uniform policy to ensure the correct earrings are being worn. Please ensure anything brought into school is labelled. Look out for lost property on the lunchbox trolley each evening. Muddy Shoes - If your child has a spare change of shoes they can change into for playtimes this would help to keep our classrooms clean. Alternatively, plimsols for indoors and outdoor shoes for play. Thank you as always for your support. Art Tokens - tokens will be printed in the Ipswich star and East Anglian Daily Times. Simply cut out the tokens and drop them into the office for the school to have a chance of winning some art supplies. There will be bonus tokens during the week of 27th October. |

Every week we encourage parents to support their children to learn and use new vocabulary. In school we will be exploring the origin of new words, what they mean and how to use them effectively in context. If you can encourage your child to use these words it would be really helpful! Kittens: light & dark Squirrels: transparent & rigid Woodpeckers: terrain & topography Foxes: altitude & gravitational Our Value this half term is 'Truthfulness' If you would like to explore this theme at home, see our family leaflet here. |
