Good afternoon,

We started our week this week with H the Batman visiting school to share his knowledge of bats with our school community - it was a great day that the children loved.

We then welcomed some visitors into school to quality assure leaders judgements of the school - the children were amazing and the staff worked really hard to share the hard work we have been doing over the course of the last 18 months since I became headteacher. Once, the report is published we look forward to sharing this with you.

Please check out the dates for upcoming events and please make sure that you have made an appointment for Parents’ Evening.

Have a great weekend,

Mr Robinson

I would like to say a huge thank you to all of the school community in the contributions that they have made towards our ofsted inspection this week. The results take a couple of weeks to go through the quality assurance processes.

The children were amazing and this was noted by the inspectors throughout the process. You should be really proud of them.

We have thanked the children with some extra long play times and a film in the hall on Thursday afternoon.

Our school value for this half term is Honesty. “Be kind and honest and you will live a long life; others will respect you and treat you fairly” Proverbs 21:21

The Christian value of Honesty can be seen in many aspects of school life, both inside and outside the classroom. During Collective Worship for this half term we will be focusing on this school value and how we can show this in school and in our community.

Our focus in Collective Worship this week has been looking at the Christian Value: Compassion. Our theme this week has been about Feeling Proud. Our Worships this week have been looking at the Big Picture News Question: Is it important to feel proud of where you come from? This has struck up lots of discussion in Collective Worship and in the classroom around what makes you proud of where you come from? How can you care for your community and help to make it better? Please continue this discussion at home. Ask your children the following questions: Why might some people feel proud of where they come from, while others may not? How can we celebrate the differences and similarities in our communities? #LetYourLightShine💡

Our school expectation is that pupils will read 5 times per week.

This is monitored by staff in school and at the end of each half term, pupils who have consistently read will be rewarded for their tremendous effort.

If any parents require support getting logged into 'Boom Reader' can access this each Wednesday morning at the start of the school day.

Thanks,

Mrs Roberts

EYFS are looking at revamping the role play areas in EYFS. We want to create home corners that are more natural and familiar to the children. We are on the lookout for some of the following items: small wooden side tables, placemats and coasters, lamps, cushions, stools, small sofa or comfy chair, scales, pots and pans, handbags, hats, children's clothes, coat stands, photo frames, rugs, utensils etc.

If you are having a clear out at home and have any items you no longer need, we would really appreciate any donations.
