Free School Meals – Don’t Miss Out! 🍴

Did you know ALL children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to a free school meal under the Universal Infant scheme?

✅ But if you receive qualifying benefits, it’s still really important that you register. Why?

Your child may miss out on supermarket meal vouchers if you’re not registered.

The school receives extra funding (Pupil Premium) to support your child’s education – money that makes a real difference!
For children in Years 3 and above, free school meals are not automatic. They are only available if you receive certain benefits (see link below for details).

💻 Please take a few minutes to apply online – even if your child already gets a free meal in infants. It helps both your family and our school community.

👉 Apply here: https://www3.halton.gov.uk/Pages/EducationandFamilies/Schools/FreeSchoolMeals.aspx

Thank you for helping us support your child’s education. 💜

If you would like to join in and share your favourite book us, we will give a parent mention in assembly and add you to our Reading wall in the hall.

We have had a fantastic week in Sycamore Class!

In science, we have been learning about rocks and fossils. The children have enjoyed taking part in lots of continuous provision activities linked this topic.

Everybody has enjoyed using the new water play equipment. We have been able to develop some great language linked to more and less.

We have also been taking part in some co-operative games. Our favourite new game has been "Out Foxed".

Reminder - School meals must be ordered from home for each day. Parents can order up to three weeks in advance.

If your child is unwell you must cancel your school meal if one has been ordered, otherwise you will be charged for the meal.

www.schoolhub.co.uk

From 1st April 2025 the daily cost of a school meal will be £3.43.

Please check online with Halton Borough Council to see if your child is entitled to a free school meal. If eligible this will also mean extra funding for school and help for parents with the cost of school trips.

This week, we finished our Science work on life cycles-and then completed some fun assessments on Blooket to test our understanding and retention!

Our reading this week sent us in the direction of the Civil Rights movement in America- 'Goodnight stories for Rebel Girls' showed us the lives of Maya Angelou and Rosa Parks-famous for their work in making equal rights between black and white people in the USA.

Finally, we had a blast in our art days-we completed some fantastic artwork based on memories we had when we were younger- this week we move onto History and learning about the Census.

We have had another lovely week in Larch class!

This week in Larch class, we have enjoyed our art lessons. We learnt sketching techniques and used shading to draw different flowers and plants.

In Science, we finished our work on rocks and fossils. The children enjoyed learning about fossils and making their own fossil diagrams.

In PE, the children have been putting the rolls that they learnt last week into routines and they performed them to each other.

Our second full week and our new pupils are settling in even better to our routines!

We've been completing work related to a different number each day, singing number songs and making numbers in as many different ways as possible.

We've started the story 'Meesha Makes Friends' with our Year 2s about a little girl who finds the world an overwhelming place and doesn't know how to make friends.

In Science, we've been learning about animals and next is a topic about holidays and our own history! Any photos from home are greatly welcomed any time this week.

Cherry Class had a wonderful week. We have been working really hard in yoga to breathe deeply and remember our moves and poses. The children have all shown a great attitude and it truly has been calming and very zen 🧘‍♀️ Why not get them to show you the aeroplane, lion, cobra, mountain, rain or butterfly pose at home?

The children also competed their art unit in exploring shapes and lines. They worked collaboratively to create a start art work using different marks on the page such as zigzags, dots, dashes and curves. They also experimented with different drawing materials like oil pastels and charcoal 🖼 👩‍🎨

Our new handwriting routines are well embedded with children working hard to improve their letter formation and sizing ✍️  So proud of all of them 😊

The children in Willow Class are continuing to settle into our daily routines.

Daily routines and establishing positive relationships are so important in Reception at this time of year. The adults in Willow Class are spending time getting to know the children by playing alongside the children in Continuous Provision.

We introduced Class Dojos, our reward system used to promote and reward positive behaviour. The children were very excited to watch their little alien hatch out of the egg!

We have enjoyed some carpet time sessions, sitting on on our very own magic spots on the carpet. We have been singing Nursery Rhymes and Counting Songs and it has been so lovely to see that all of the children love to sing!

Some of the children enjoyed their first whole school assemblies this week and were absolute superstars in the hall!

Well done to everyone for another great week!
