We have been helping sweep up the leaves on the KS1 playground today. We took them on to the field to have our own leaf party!

Thank you for your patience whilst your passwords were being created for your child’s tapestry profile. It is fantastic to see so many of you already commenting and adding your own observations. We enjoy seeing all of the wonderful experiences your children are having with you.

Look at what has appeared in both classrooms! I wonder what could be inside? Who are Jingle and Elfie? We can not wait to find out what the special surprise is on Monday!

FS have had a lovely afternoon of yoga followed by stories in the studio. We took lots of cushions and blankets in to the studio to make story time extra special today.

Calling all Foundation Stage parents. Next Wednesday (20th September 2017) we will be holding a phonics workshop starting at 5.15pm.This workshop will be a brilliant opportunity for you to find out about how we will be teaching your child to read and write during their first year at school. You will find out about the phonics language that we use with your children and gain some ideas for how to support your child at home. You will also find out about when and how your child will receive their reading books. Unfortunately the workshop is not suitable for children to attend but we are really excited to see as many of you as possible.

We are settling in to the routines of school. We are already amazing at putting our things away independently in the morning, getting our own lunch plates in the hall at lunch time and helping each other during our learning time.

We have had an amazing first day and would like to say a huge thank you to all parents for supporting your children to come in independently.

On Friday 24th June the school council will be holding their charity day. This will be for the SSAFA charity and we will be joining in with their annual camo day. On the day children will be coming in to school dressed in camouflage in exchange for £1 donation towards the charity.

There will be an assault course (a member of the RAF will be in to help us with this!) for classes to take part in throughout the day.

We hope it is a fun day and we raise lots of money for a fantastic charity.

Thank you

The School Council
