Booking is now available on Spider, please note bookings will close on Wednesday 4th at 5pm - after this time, please contact the office.
Medication in School - As per the medical policy, office staff are able to administer paracetamol to children in school for mild complaints to enable them to stay in school. However, please can we ask that if parents are aware that their child is not feeling 100%, that you administer the medication before school and advise office staff on the gate or via email that they have had a dose at home. If you feel that they may need more during the day, please send in calpol/paracetamol to use in school where you will need to complete a form please. The medication will be returned to you once they are feeling better, or if known long term complaints, at the end of each term.
Pre-Loved Uniform Sales - the PTA will be holding second hand uniform sales on Friday 27th February, Friday 24th April and Friday 3rd July.
Kittens Spare Clothes - please can we ask that children in Kittens class have a spare set of clothes left in school in case of accidents. Please ensure all items are named, and sent in a named bag.

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: hibernation & junk model Squirrels: carnivore & herbivore Woodpeckers: component & transfer Foxes: magnitude & epicentre Our Value this half term is 'Courage' If you would like to explore this theme at home, see our family leaflet here. |
