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.
 
Those Swimming need their kits on Mondays.
 
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.
 
Please ensure anything brought into school is labelled.  Look out for lost property on the lunchbox trolley each evening.

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: front & full

Squirrels: human features & physical features

Woodpeckers: liquid & solid

Foxes: circulation & platelet

"Know that I am with you always," Matthew 28:20 We encourage the spiritual, social, moral and cultural development of the school family by embedding Christian values into everyday life. Our vision is for all children to be confident individuals, successful learners and responsible citizens who are well equipped for future life, knowing that God is with them always.
