Headteacher’s update

What a great couple of weeks we have had!  It has been so lovely to see all of the children, after the holidays and to welcome our lovely new reception classes to our school.  It has been great to see how quickly the children have settled to their new classrooms and teachers and how incredibly brave our reception have been starting school for the first time.

We have particularly enjoyed welcoming Ruth Blaney to school, who will be helping us to get started with our OPAL (Outdoor Play and Learning) project.  We are very excited to be working with OPAL to improve our play offer.  Ruth joined us in school and accurately identified what fantastically polite and respectful children we have here.  We look forward to inviting you into school soon, to hear all about our plans.

As a reminder to those sending in snacks and packed lunches – please ensure that no products that contain nuts, including chocolate and nut based spreads such as Nutella, are brought in to school.  Many thanks for your support with keeping all of our school community safe.

The school photographer will be in school on Tuesday 15th September – further details about timings will be sent separately.

Wishing you all a lovely weekend.

Collective Worship

This week, we have focused on the big question, “what is the Bible”?  Over the course of the school year, we will be getting to know the Bible and what its contents mean to Christians.  We have already learnt all sorts of interesting facts about the Bible, including where it was written and how long it took.  We all recognised that it is a very complex text but we are looking forward to exploring its contents and what we can learn from it.

‘The Scarecrows’ Wedding in 6M


What a creative start to Year 6! We have read ‘The Scarecrows’ Wedding’, which has inspired some creative writing including our own scarecrow stories, prequels or sequels to the story; artwork creating an alternative character to Reginald Rake and book club all about the author, Julia Donaldson, where we shared some of her books and wrote questions that we would like to ask her.

Spare Uniform

We would like to thank everyone who has donated spare uniform for us to use. We have organised all of our uniform now and have found that we are short on just a few items.

If anyone has any of the following that they no longer need, we would be grateful for donations:

Girls skirts, girls trousers and boys trousers in ages ranging from 8 years to 12 years.

PE kits – black shorts & white t-shirts.

These are the only items we now require. Unfortunately we do not have the capacity to store any other uniform at this time.

 

Thank you for your support.

 

Year 6 Leavers

We have given our wonderful Year 6 children a super Ascension send off today after a busy few weeks of production, fun days, sports days, design and technology and leavers’ service.

Farewell and good luck!
