It has been another very busy and productive week, here in school.  On Wednesday, I spent the afternoon with our reception children and their families at the wonderful welcome service.  It was such a treat to welcome our new reception children to the school and church communities and for each of them to have a go at ringing the church bell, in celebration. Thank you to the Home School Association who funded the beautiful bibles that were gifted to each child. The children’s singing was phenomenal and we are all very impressed by how confident our youngest children already are, so early in the school year. Well done, reception!

All of our Pupil Voice groups have now been elected and are ready to help support the school’s progress and development.  The first job for our School Council and Worship Committee will be to organise and communicate our Harvest Festival Celebrations, which will take place on 16th October. School Council will be in touch soon, with further details.

I thoroughly enjoyed my afternoon with year 6, this afternoon, talking all things Nepal.  The children listened very carefully and made some very thoughtful responses about daily life in Nepal, as well as the risks and dangers of tourism in the mountain areas.  Thank you for having me, year 6.

Wishing you all a lovely weekend.  Sounds like it will be a weekend for avoiding Storm Amy!

This week we have focused on another of the key elements of our School Vision and Curriculum Driver – Independence.  We thought about what it means to be alone and explored the quote, “Independence isn’t doing your own thing; it’s doing the right thing on your own”. We read the story, ‘Gary’ and learned about how Gary the racing pigeon who couldn’t fly, had to think creatively and act independently to find his way home.  This week, children have focused on what and who give them strength and independence.

Thank goodness for a week in the sunshine! It has been another busy and productive week.  Our year 5 and 6 pupils carried out a geography field trip to the local area to consider the impact future developments might have on the village and the school.  I had the pleasure of walking with 5/6M and was very impressed by the children’s responses and critical thinking.

Attendance this week has been really positive, with one day this week being very nearly 100%!  We talk about the benefits of consistent attendance in assembly each week.

Our new phonics scheme, ELS, is well underway and the children are responding very well to the new lessons.  Thank you for all of your support with reading at home.

Congratulations to all of the children who have successfully achieved one of our pupil voice and representative positions.  All of our House Captains, School Council Reps, Wellbeing Buddies and Worship Committee are in position and raring to go to help our school community.  Thank you to all of those involved.

Please could we ask for your continuing support regarding water and drinks bottles.  We are very grateful for the support with the size of the bottles that children are bringing.  It really does make a difference to storage in the classrooms and there is a noticeable reduction in spillages.  Plastic bottles are preferable, please as metal ones are hard and heavy and can cause incidents.
