With it being a very short half term, we have certainly hit the ground running 🙂 All work around school is now nearly completed - so keep your eyes peeled for photographs on our facebook page 🙂 School is looking fantastic.

Thanks to our EYFS parents who took time out of their busy schedule to 'watch me learn - phonics' session.  We absolutely loved having you in school and hope you enjoyed it too - until next time 🙂 

Year 4 also enjoyed Thursday morning when parents joined their lesson learning all things 'multiplication'.  We hope you had an enjoyable morning and also gained an insight into how the Multiplication Screening Check will be administered 🙂 

We have spent a considerable amount of money over the half term improving the outdoor areas around school.  Do not let children at the beginning or end of the school day, stand on the seating in the pergola on the KS1 playground.  This area is for sitting and not standing.  A reminder that once children are released from class then it is parental responsibility to take care of your children.  Thanks for your support in this.

Mothers/Nan/Aunty Day Brekkie letters have gone out for Year 3 & 4 - so get booked in before the cutoff date 🙂 Other remaining letters for Year 1, 2, 5 & 6 to go out next week. 

EASTER PACT action needed over the weekend to reserve your place 

J2E letter sent to Year 1 - Year 6 re: - Easter Bonnet PACT.  If you wish to take part in the appropriate session, you must go onto PARENT PAY and pay £1 so that an Easter Bonnet is ordered for the session.  Strict deadline of Monday 2^nd March @ 9am.   Thanks everyone (more details re: - session times in letter that was sent via J2E) 🙂

WORLD BOOK DAY - Thursday 5^th March 2026 

J2E letter sent to you all with details regarding World Book Day.  Children are welcome to come dressed as their favourite book character, however, there is no expectation for this at all.  No football kits/shirts allowed.  Children not dressed in character, need to come to school in their normal school uniform.  Lots of lovely activities have been planned for the day 🙂 

As Year 3 and Year 2 have FOREST SCHOOLS on this day - they can dress as a character on FRIDAY instead of the THURSDAY. 

WHATSAPP 

We are aware there are a few children's What's APP groups set up in KS2.  We have reports of totally inappropriate comments bring made on these which is causing much upset!! A reminder that the minimum age for WhatsAPP is 13 years of age.  As a school we do not support these groups at all. 

So, this week: - 

• Year 4 continued on their swimming journey - a reminder NO JEWELLERY 

• EYFS Coffee morning (See above) 

• We held Chinese New Year Assemblies in classes on Wednesday and found out lots of information about 'The Year of the Horse' 

• Year 4 Watch Me Learn (see above) 

• Year 5 continued to develop their boxing skills in Progressive Sport 

• Reception and Year 6 had a very enjoyable session over at Forest School 

So, moving to next week: -

• Year 5 Space Camp only for those children who have requested a space - J2E and letter with details of drop off and collection - Monday 

• Year 4 School Council Coffee morning @ 9am (Tuesday) - the cut off for this has now gone!   So only turn up if you have paid and requested a place by the cut off 🙂 

• After School Clubs - prompt collection at 4pm.  PLEASE NOTE THIS IS THE LAST WEEK with the exception of Dance which will continue each Tuesday 🙂 

• Progressive Sports is the turn of Reception class on Wednesday - children can come to school in their PE kits 

• Year 4 Camp Parents Information Session @ 3.30pm on Wednesday - a must attend if your child is going to camp 🙂

• Year 3 have Forest Schools in the morning and Year 2 in the afternoon - old, warm clothes.   Please note: - World Book Day costumes can be worn on Friday instead 🙂 We don't want them getting muddy or ruining the 'princess' look with dirty wellies 

And that's its folks!! 

Have a lovely weekend and see you all next week
