We love to read.

The book fair has arrived.  It will be available to browse and purchase from during parent conferences.

Competition time

You could be in with a chance to win yourself a £5 gift voucher, to use at the book fair, by drawing a picture of your favourite book or a character from your favourite book.  Please put your name on the back.

We will enjoy sharing your pictures with the class and it might even inspire other children to want to read it. We will draw all entries on Friday and take them to the book fair to choose their prize.

Good luck.

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.

Thank you to those parents who were able to attend the phonics meeting last night. It was a great opportunity to meet you all and for you to see how wonderfully resourced we are to make phonics learning fun.

If you are unable to attend we will be sending home a hand out which explains the terminology we use with the children and offers a few examples of the games and resources used in school.

If you have any further questions, as always, do not hesitate to speak to one of our team.

Can we remind you that Foundation Stage is often abbreviated to FS in communications. There are a number of reasons why we have to do this, one of which is the need to limit the number of characters in such things as text and Twitter.

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.

Today is national teaching assistant day. We are extremely lucky in our school to have the most amazing LSAs.

Foundation Stage celebrated with with a party. Mrs Burgess, Ms Harrison and Mrs Walker were all very surprised and we danced and played party games. We cheered and clapped when they were awarded their crowns and stickers and scrolls. We are very grateful for their knowledge and talent.  Continue reading →

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.
