A 'big thank you' to those parents who took time out of their busy day to come into school to take part in our 'Watch Me Learn Sessions' for Year 1 & 2 - it was lovely to see so many of you!!!  Feedback was amazing and we all really enjoyed having you watch us learn🙂 More year groups next week so take a look at the diary dates so you don't miss out (letters have gone out to relevant year groups) 

• Year 3 enjoyed their boxing session with Progressive Sports - this is part of our 'enrichment' offer which goes above and beyond the national curriculum - lots of new moves and skills are being mastered 🙂

• Our Mindfulness Ninjas looked at the benefits of slowing down!  They used movement first then had a lovely meditation to calm the mind 🙂

• Year 4 had a great day of learning over at Forest Schools/in the hall (due to the awful weather) on Thursday.  Learning centred around 'mountains and rivers and also States of Matter - mainly the 'water cycle' 

• We ended the week with our SEN Coffee morning and also our whole school Number Day.  KS2 took part in a TT Rockstars competition and all maths lessons were based on digits and experimenting with numbers 🙂 

Looking ahead to next week: -

• After School Clubs as normal this week - prompt collection at 4pm.  A reminder if children miss 2 sessions, then their space will be automatically offered to someone else on the waiting list - as spaces are valuable 🙂

• Reception has 'eye screening' on Monday - a separate letter has been sent out 

• Year 4 swimming as normal - a reminder any jewellery must be left at home in the morning so that we don't lose anything whilst getting changed

• On Friday, we end the week with ERIC (Everyone Reads in Class) - one parent per child only due to limited space in the classroom - to come into school to share a book with your child before the start of the school day - EYFS/Year 1 and Year 2 only - 8.40am - 9am only.  Strictly no mobile phones.
