This week, we started our “Bible in a Year” journey.  We started at the beginning – a very good place to start.  In our Collective Worship, we explored Genesis 1-2 – the story of Creation. We explored the 7 creation events and how everything that was created was ‘good’ until God created humans, which was ‘very good’. Christians believe that this shows the importance of God’s relationship with us.  We looked at pictures representing the story of Creation and thought about ways in which we can be good stewards of God’s wonderful world.

The School Shop is now available to purchase school uniform on Arbor.

Purchasing School Shop items on the Parent Portal or Parent App – Arbor Help Centre

Items ordered will be sent home with your child as soon as we are able to.

Please bear with us during busy times!

If you have any issues, please contact the school office.

The photographer will be in school on Tuesday 15th September to take individual school photographs.

If you would like to have a photograph taken of your child/ren with younger siblings who don’t yet attend school, please come to the school office at 8:15am. Please note, due to time restrictions, there may be limited opportunities for these photographs but we will accommodate wherever possible.

Children in Class 4H – please be at school for 8:30am on Tuesday 15th September, with any siblings who also attend our school, so you can have your photograph taken before going swimming. When you arrive at school, please go to the Key Stage 2 door where Mrs Hudson will let you in and go straight to your classroom with your sibling. You will then be taken down to the hall. Siblings can then remain in the school hall and a member of school staff will ensure they are taken to their classrooms.

Our rearranged Sports Day for children in Years 4 to 6 will take place on Friday 25th September at 9:30am on the school field.

Parents/carers are welcome to bring a folding chair to sit on as there is no seating available.

Can children please bring a t-shirt in their house colours to wear on the day.

PLEASE NOTE – THIS IS ONLY FOR CHILDREN IN CURRENT YEARS 4, 5 AND 6 AS THEY WERE UNABLE TO HOLD THEIRS IN THE SUMMER.

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.

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.
