Livestock Project - we are excited to be welcoming our sheep to school on Monday 16th March. There will be strict hygiene proceedures in place with hand washing before and after interacting with them. If anyone feels they would prefer their child not having direct contact with the sheep please let the office know.
The Big Plastic Count - School/Eco Council have delivered an assembly about The Big Plastic Count. The Big Plastic Count is the UK’s biggest investigation into household plastic waste. From 9-15 March, thousands of people, schools and communities will be counting the plastic packaging they throw away. By counting every piece of plastic packaging you throw away in a week, you'll help pressure the government and companies to reduce plastic waste and create a better future for young people.
Your child will be sent home with a count sheet to record how much plastic is thrown away at home during the course of the week. Once your household has completed the investigation, your child can record your results at home via our unique class links. Please join School/Eco Council to create a fairer future for young people - thank you!
More info can be found on the attached newsletter
PTA Help Wanted - the PTA are looking for some help with admin tasks, if you think you could offer some help please speak to a member of the PTA team
Spare Clothes Request - Reception and KS1 classes would like to ask for donations of trousers, skirts, shorts and tights to hold in school as spare clothes in case of accidents. If you have anything that you would be happy to donate please send into school.
Shoes for Break Time - as the weather is improving we are able to get back onto the school field at break times, please send the children into school with a change of shoes/trainers for playing outside.
Easter Bonnets - We will be holding our annual Easter parade on the last day of term, 27th March, 2.45pm instead of family assembly. We can't wait to see the children's beautiful 'bonnets', all shapes and sizes welcome!
We hope you have all enjoyed seeing photos and updates about our recent activities in school.

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. |

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: defend & straddle Squirrels: revolt & warrior Woodpeckers: liquid & solid Foxes: evolve & nutrient Our Value this half term is 'forgiveness' If you would like to explore this theme at home, see our family leaflet here. |
