Head teacher’s update
A huge thank you to the year 2 and 3 pupils who have volunteered this week to help to keep our school site clean and tidy. They have given up their own social time to pick up litter from the playground and paths. We appreciate the dedication that they have shown to respecting our school site.
Well done to all of the children who have participated in BikeAbility. Feedback from the team is that children are listening carefully and following instructions to keep themselves and others safe. Well done and we look forward to hearing how the children participating next week, get on.
Thank you for attending parents’ evening, this week. It was a pleasure to see so many of you.
Collective Worship
This week I shared one of my favourite picture books with the children, ‘No Matter What’ by Debi Gliori. The story introduces us to the characters of Large and Small and reminds us that we are loved, no matter what, even when we are tired and grumpy. We reminded ourselves of the term Agape, which means the highest form or love, God’s love. For Christians, this type of love is a constant and unconditional support and comfort.

The Toy Museum
This week , Reception children have been learning about what toys from the past were like. They had a fabulous time playing with lots of them. They noticed that many of the toys were made from wood. After a lot of fun and discussion they decided that they still prefer their own toys.
Year 1 and 2 Seascape Art
Our Year 1 and 2 children have created wonderful seascape artworks. They began by sketching their scenes and then used watercolours to bring their ideas to life. To finish their pieces, the children added colourful card curtains, giving the effect of looking out at a seaside view.
We are very proud of their creativity and hard work!
