• Well, we’re glad to get to Friday – as that was a bit of a tricky week!!! 😊

  Fri 20 Jan 2023

  So, a recap of this week:-

  • Year 1 and 2 had great learning experiences over in our Forest School
  • Year 4 wowed us with their swimming – they all tried super hard!
  • Year 5 enjoyed Stafford Sports and learnt a few great dance moves 😊

   

  Looking ahead to next week:-

  • After School Clubs are starting this week – Tuesday and Thursday until 4pm.  Please collect promptly.  If you haven’t already received a MM confirming which club your child has been successful in getting on, then you will early next week, so keep your eyes peeled.
  • Year 4 swimming on Monday
  • It’s the turn of Year 3 to spend the day over at Forest School on Monday.  Warm clothes and sturdy footwear/wellies required please.
  • Year 4 have Stafford Sports on Thursday – Children can come to school in PE kit for the day 😊

   

  A reminder that we are receiving a few parental concerns over parents smoking and vaping directly outside of the school gates.  Please be mindful of this and move away from the area directly outside of school.  Thanks in advance.

   

  We are also on the look-out for another Parent Governor – information has been sent at the beginning of this week.  If you require any further information in relation to this post, please pop into the office.   If you require a paper copy of the letter, pop into the office and we can sort you out with a copy.

   

  A letter has also gone out today to our Year 4 parents in relation to camp.  We need your feedback on this so that we can make a decision asap whether or not the trip (and cost of coaches) is a viable option!!  If you haven't seen the letter, please nip into the office for a copy.  

   

  A MM has been sent out this morning in relation to the Teacher Strike Action.  Classes affected by the strike will be notified next week and a learning pack/information will be provided. 

   

  Have a wonderful weekend and we’ll see you all on Monday
