We are really looking forward to the Book Fair arriving on Friday! We will open the doors to parents on Friday after school for you to come and buy a book if you wish to. The book fair will also be open on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday next week. 📚

Teaching cycle safety to children empowers them to ride responsibly, reducing risks while out on the road 🚴 In advance of Road Safety Week, let us explain how to keep kids safe when they set out on two wheels! Download & listen here >> ow.ly/H6sa50U5T91

As part of antibullying week the children came to school wearing their odd socks! The children also designed their own pair of odd socks to celebrate us all being different and unique.

This week is Anti-Bullying week and we have all been completing lots of activities in school to celebrate our differences and teach kindness. The children in Blossoms class created their own Hand of Kindness picture together.

This afternoon, Reverend Debbie from St Katharine’s Church came in to deliver a Remembrance Day assembly. She talked to us about why we celebrate Remembrance Day and we held our own memorial, placing poppies carefully. Year 2 read a poem and we held our own silence.

In Year 2, the children have been learning about Remembrance Day. They learnt that Remembrance Day is on the 11th November and the poppy is used to remember those who died in the War. They enjoyed making a poppy and learning a poem ready for our Remembrance Day assembly.

This week in Year 1, they have been learning their new text ‘How to catch a star’ and have enjoyed creating star poems and making a clay star. They also learnt about the Gunpowder Plot and created their own chalk firework pictures and edible sparklers!

Year 1 had a great day yesterday. They cut the ingredients for their soup, did some Halloween paint stamping, and then cooked and ate their homemade pumpkin soup !

We have our Harvest celebration on Friday afternoon. We hope to see you there. Please bring in donations.

Year 1 have been enjoying exploring tone and different pencil techniques in their Art lessons. Wow! Well done Year 1!

Year 2 enjoyed exploring a range of everyday materials today to see whether we could change the shape. We predicted whether the shape would stay the same, change back again or not change at all. Well done Year 2!

Another fantastic week with lots going on...

Reception children have their first book and biscuit session today at 2.45pm. We hope to see you there...

Tomorrow we have our phonics meeting in school at 2.30pm. Everyone is welcome. We hope to see you there...
