In our weekly assembly, staff members will take turns recommending a Book of the Week. The chosen book will be available in school for everyone to enjoy throughout the week. We hope this helps spark a love of reading and inspires children to try something new!

This week, Mrs Davies has chosen 'Tilda Tries Again' by Tom Percival.

Tilda’s world feels upside down. Things that used to be easy—running, playing, joining in—suddenly seem impossible. Frustrated and unsure, Tilda almost gives up… until she discovers a new way to move forward. With courage and determination, she learns that trying again can turn things right side up.

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.

We've had a great week in Sycamore Class!

We have been taking part in lots of fine motor activities this week, strengthening our hand muscles. These types of activities are also great for providing a little bit of calm after busy times of the day.

In our wider curriculum lessons this week, we have been taking part in some history lessons. Sycamore pupils have integrated well into their mainstream classes to learn about the Stone Age in Y3/4 and local history in Y5/6.

# data[].attributes.body
A busy week in Oak class with us looking at the Census and what information it contains-we looked at how it has changed over time, and how in some years people refused to fill it in.

Our writing has continued, learning about active and passive voice, and then building upon that to use passive verbs in our writing.

Finally, maths has been exciting, learning about decimals and how to add/subtract to 1 within them.

We have had another fantastic week in Larch class!

In English, we have been taking our writing further by adding extra detail with prepositions. In Year 4, the we have also been adding fronted adverbials into our sentences.

In Maths, we have started looking into place value. We have been using lots of base 10 and 100 squares to add across 10 and 100 and looking at the different ways that we can make 100.

We started our history topic this week and we have been learning about the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age. We have been looking at an interactive timeline where we scrolled right back to prehistory, acting like archaeologists looking at different artefacts and working out what life was like in each of the ages.

We have been reading more of the story ‘Meesha Makes Friends’ and painting our friends this week.

We've been exploring numbers to 10 and even numbers to 100 with some of our pupils, as well as enjoying water and sand play.

Thank you for all of the baby photos and holiday photos for our topic work - they have come in really useful!

History week! We have been learning about history of holidays. We have discussed our own holiday memories and compared holidays nowadays and holidays in the past.

We brought in souvenirs and photographs from home to share with each other and discuss where we had been and some of the things that we did.

Year 2 have been counting in tens in maths this week and are becoming impressive mathematicians!

We have had another great week in Willow Class. The children are really settling into, and following our daily routines.

Independence is so important when the children start school and we promote independence in many ways in Willow Class. The children are becoming much more independent with things like putting their own belongings on their pegs and in their trays. Also, at snack time and at lunch time. We are very proud of them.

We have been sitting together and enjoying singing Nursery Rhymes, ask the children to sing you their favourite at home and join in with the actions!

The children have been demonstrating their creative skills by painting a self portrait of themselves. They looked at their facial features in the mirror and then drew them first before then painting them. We can't wait to display them in Willow Class!

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. 💜
