Weekly Update

This Wednesday afternoon before pick-up (from 2.45pm), you are welcome at the school to join parents and Mr Caswell for coffee/tea and cake.

As a parent or carer you play a key role in helping your child to stay safe online.  You don’t need to be an expert on the internet to help keep your child stay safe. The advice and resources on the UK Safer Internet Centre website can support you as you support your child to use the internet safely, responsibility and positively.  Should you have concerns about this, please do not hesitate to speak with a member of staff.

In Willow Class last week, The Tiger Who Came to Tea is proving popular and a useful prompt for pupils’ emergent writing.  In Birch Class, pupils have been learning about the parts of plants as well as descriptive writing all about school life.  Hazel Class have impressed with their Bear Grylls biography writing.  Meanwhile, Rowan Class have been starting to learn about the Kingdom of Benin on the West Coast of Africa from AD900 – 1897.  Another highlight for me has been hearing the sound of glockenspiels as our juniors get to grips of learning a tuned percussion instrument with Mr Mitchell.

Finally, a polite reminder that the school day starts promptly at 8.50am. Thank you for your punctuality which enables children to line up on the playground ready to enter the school together for the start of the day.    

Have a successful week. 

Mr Caswell
