• 4th place!

  Fri 26 Mar 2021
  A huge well done to all of our pupils, parents and the community for helping us place 4th during the lockdown Go Parks Challenge. We are thrilled!  

  

• Red Nose Day

  Sat 20 Mar 2021
  The children look amazing today– thank you. We are thrilled that they have embraced the opportunity to dress up for Red Nose Day and that we have had a fun day in school. The children have been learning about the great work that this charity does
  both in the United Kingdom and around the world. We were also thrilled that we were able to welcome some ‘super’
  visitors onto the school playground to add further interest and excitement to the day. Have a look on the latest news section of our website for more information and photographs from today and from across the week as we have also enjoyed Shakespeare Week in school. Thank you if you have been able to visit the Comic Relief website to make a donation to this charity.
   

  

• Lola

  Sat 20 Mar 2021
  This half term we have also been able to welcome back our additional therapy dog Lola. Lola is owned by Miss Haines and will be based in Year 6. The children are very excited to welcome
  her into the classroom and have been spending time getting to know Lola and learning about her role as a therapy dog. She is a great addition to Year 6 and has helped all the children (and teachers) to be calm and happy whilst returning to school!

• World Down Syndrome Day

  Sat 20 Mar 2021
  Sunday 21st March is World Down Syndrome day. We would like to support this day and celebrate diversity by asking
  the children to wear a pair of colourful, bright and unique socks to school-as 21st March is a Sunday we will be moving this to Friday 26th March this year! Wearing colourful socks helps us to appreciate that people with Down Syndrome have an extra
  chromosome (21st chromosome). In school we will be celebrating diversity throughout the week and learning that chromosomes make each person unique. We hope
  that all of the children will support this event– we are looking forward to seeing their colourful and unique socks next Friday. Thank you for your support
   

• Parent / teacher consultations information

  Sat 20 Mar 2021
  Unfortunately we are still not able to welcome parents into school and as a result the Spring term parents consultations will take place over the phone rather than face to face. These telephone meetings are planned over two weeks– 22nd March to 1st April. The school office have sent out an email this week inviting you to book an appointment using the online booking system. Appointments will last 10 minutes and class teachers will be calling parents from a mobile phone which may register on your
  screen as an unknown number– please look out for this around the time of your appointment. 
   

• Covid Update

  Sat 20 Mar 2021
   Thank you to everyone for supporting our procedures and routines on the school site. We appreciate that the arrangements at the end of the day mean that parents are spending more time waiting to collect their children and we are very grateful for your support and patience.
   Thank you also for continuing to wear face coverings when you are on the school site and for supporting our classroom organisation by reminding the children not to bring bags into school.
   Please do not send children to school if they or anyone in your household displays COVID-19 symptoms. If a child or anyone in your household develop any symptoms everyone must remain
  at home and make arrangements to be tested. 
   

• William Shakespeare Week

  Thu 18 Mar 2021
  It has been a fun week in school learning about William Shakespeare. Take a look at the Reception toadstools houses and characters based on A Midsummer Night's Dream. 

  

• Living Walls

  Thu 18 Mar 2021
  Our Living Walls are starting to take shape.  

  

• Living Walls

  Mon 15 Mar 2021

  We are very excited to have been awarded a small
  grant to take part in a “Living Walls” research project,
  with the Royal Society of Education and a STEM partner from University of Loughborough. The project will involve researching the impact on children’s well-being when learning in a greener and more natural environment, both in the classroom and outdoors. We now need lots of plants, so if you have green fingers or have family or friends who would be willing to donate a plant or seeds, we would be very grateful!

  
  Below is a list of plants that have been tested by NASA to 'grow fresh air' : Areca Palm, Dragon Tree, Anthurium, Snake Plant, Aloe Vera, Heart-leaf philodendron, Spider Plant, Succulents.
  We are also hoping to grow strawberries, tomatoes, potatoes and add some colour with the use of bedding plants. Your support in growing a greener environment at school
  would be very welcome.

• Shakespeare Week

  Mon 15 Mar 2021

  This year’s Shakespeare Week, organised by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, carries the theme of wellbeing. We are looking forward to taking part in a range of virtual activities as this annual celebration aims to use Shakespeare’s works and his language to inspire children and help support their emotional well being.
