Good afternoon,

What an extremely busy week we have had! We have had a fantastic turn out from parents/carers who have engaged with our reading breakfasts taking place each day this week. The children have all thoroughly enjoyed the mornings and it was lovely to see so many of you enjoying reading with your children whilst having a pastry (or two!)

It has been a year since we decided on our school priorities for the current academic year. As we review our school improvement priorities, we made the decision last year to always ensure that this included a parent voice. The response has seen over 70 parent responses, so I just wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you for your engagement.

We have got a busy week next week in school with H the Batman coming in to delivery a bat talk to children as well as bringing in 2 bats. Mrs Dring is hoping he brings in the bat that she helped rescue before half term! I'm sure the children will all come home on Monday bursting with plenty of bat knowledge!

As always we have got a busy half-term coming up with Comic Relief, parent's evenings, Mother's Day celebrations and our usual Easter events too! Keep an eye on Dojo and the newsletter where all dates will be shared.

Have a great weekend,

Mr Robinson

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💡

📗📘📙We have had a lovely week celebrating World Book Day. All week we have had ‘Books for Breakfast’ sessions taking place with parents where adults were able to come in and enjoy reading whilst having some breakfast.🥞🧇🥣☕️🥐🥮

# data[].attributes.body
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.
