Headteacher's Welcome

The children have really been enjoying the outdoor spaces in school this week. It has been so lovely to have a taste of summer so early in the year.

This term is always really busy so please make sure you have taken a look at the calendar. Our range of sports events will be coming up at the end of this half term. Information has been sent out this week with details of what to expect.  

This half term our School Value is 'Honesty'. We have been talking about what it means to 'tell the truth', exploring why sometimes people might not tell the truth and about the importance of always telling the truth even when you have made the wrong choice. 

Honesty school value

   Preschool Update

We have had lots of positive feedback from parents about our proposal. Many parents have expressed an interest for places for younger siblings - if you haven't done so yet you can still log in here.

More info can be seen on the attached letter.

Please spread the word far and wide with friends and family and invite them to complete the survey or get in touch with us if they have any further questions.

  There are now plenty of PTA volunteers to help at the School Disco on Thurs 15th May – thank you. Just a reminder that the ParentPay deadline for this is Fri 9th May. It can be very loud at the disco (music + excited children!). Please consider whether your child will enjoy and cope with this.

Simon says

One person to be Simon and have the other players gather around. Simon gives commands to the other players by saying “Simon says…” and picking an action. For example, “Simon says hop up and down” or “Simon says clap your hands” or “Simon says quack like a duck.” If Simon gives a command without starting with “Simon says,” any player that does the action is out!
