The festival will finish at 3pm so if your child is being brought back to school after the event they should arrive by 3.30pm traffic dependant. If your child has younger siblings at school and you have no one else to collect them, they can wait in the office.

Uniform - as new uniform was sent home this week, perhaps you're having a sort out of the old clothes.  If you've got any 2nd hand uniform in good condition please pass it onto the PTA.  2nd hand uniform is available anytime for a few pounds.

 
 

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.
Foxes need to remember clarinets for their lessons on Tuesdays.
Reception children need to wear Forest Schools clothing on Fridays and bring welly boots.
Earrings must be removed for PE lessons.  Please check the uniform policy to ensure the correct earrings are being worn.

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: 

Squirrels: respiration & sensitivity

Woodpeckers: arid & bountiful

Foxes: multi function & simultaneous
