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. 💜

Another busy week in Willow Class. We have been busy creating work for our very own "Lockers" in Willow Class. This is a space where we display the children's work and work they are proud of.

We have been busy practicing reciting numbers in order with our Counting Songs. The children are so good at joining in with the songs and showing the corresponding numbers using their hands. This is such an important skill in our understanding and representation of early number skills.

We have started to develop our early writing. We have been drawing images of ourselves and making marks to represent writing our name.

Please check that you are signed up to Tapestry, our online platform for sharing learning that we do at school, with families at home. You can also send us photographs of things the children have been doing at home. We love to see these rs d share them in class. It is a great communication and language activity.

We’ve had a wonderful week! We kicked off the week with school photos in the hall 📸 we can’t wait to see them!

We’ve been working hard in Pathways to Write this week. Sequencing our book ‘Meesha Makes Friends’ and writing sentences about key parts of the story. We have been learning about how Christians refer to God as Father and why they do this. We then discussed the role of our own parents in our lives. We also took advantage of some dry weather and had one of our afternoon break times in the forest. We can’t wait to schedule in a forest school day in the next few weeks 🌳

We may be entering spooky season in October 🍂 🎃 👻 but we had one eye on Christmas 👀 🎄 On Thursday we made our class cards that parents have the opportunity to order soon!

This week, we have had fun with finding our faces in our holiday photos as well as thinking about things we can do with our friends, just like Meesha in our story!

We've been doing lots of counting and some of us have even gone into the hundreds numbers!

In mainstream, some of our Cedar Class children have been doing really well in their reading lessons and learning about Christianity and God through the idea of thinking about our own parents.

Thank you to everyone who supported the coffee morning for Macmillan on Friday.

We have raised £103.

This week in Maths, we have continued our work on counting past 100. We have practiced counting forwards and backwards in 10s as well as making 3 digit numbers with 100 squares and 10 frames.

In English, we started looking at speech. We have been using inverted commas to show who is speaking as well as using speech sandwiches to ‘sandwich’ speech and actions together.

In RE this week, we have been looking at Christianity. We have been putting extracts from the Bible in order on timelines using BCE and CE. We have discussed what is in the Bible, including what is in the Old Testament and what is in the New Testament as well as looking at different people’s interpretations of the Bible.

# data[].attributes.body
This week has had an RE focus-on morals in particular. Learning about the Christian Story of Creation, to The Fall with Adam and Eve, and finally some stories from Aesop's fables, we have been seeing how hard it can be to always do the right thing.

In our PSHE sessions with Jigsaw, we have been creating board games with rules to show how important it is to follow rules.

Finally, our writing has been learning about the passive voice, and writing a diary entry as someone who has lost a friend in Nazi occupied France.

This week, Sycamore have been focusing on place value in maths. We have all developed our understanding of numbers, whether that be 4-digit numbers or decimal numbers. We have used Base Ten manipulatives to help us understand large numbers as well as Numicon.

In our wider curriculum lessons, we have been focusing on RE this week. Year 3/4 have been learning about the Islamic religion and the celebration of Ramadan. Year 5/6 have looking at the Christian religion and the journey of life.

We have really enjoyed our tuff tray games this week, which have all had a 'fine motor' focus. The seasonal conkers have been a hit!

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, it was Mrs Crook's turn to choose our Book of the Week.

Gina Kaminski Saves the Wolf is a modern twist on the classic tale of Little Red Riding Hood. The story follows Gina, a clever and imaginative girl who sees the world differently and loves solving problems her own way. When she hears the story of Red Riding Hood, Gina decides the wolf doesn’t deserve to be punished — he just needs someone to understand him. Using her creativity and sense of fairness, Gina “saves” the wolf by rewriting the ending, showing that everyone deserves a second chance.

For the safety of all pupils, parents and local residents can we remind you not to park on the pavements when dropping off or collecting from school. If you park on the pavement children and parents have to walk in the road, this is putting them in unnecessary danger.

Where possible walk to school or if you need to drive park away from school on Penn Lane. Do not park on pavements, double park or block residents driveways.
