• Teacher Strikes

  Fri 17 Feb 2023

  Please see the letters sent out tonight that confirm which classes will/ will not be in school on Tuesday. This is still subject to change, and we will communicate any changes to you as soon as we are able to.

  Children whose classes are closed will be allocated a special attendance code to reflect this, which will not count against their attendance. Children whose classes are in that day will be expected to attend as normal, and will be marked as unauthorised if they are not in. We will follow up any absences in the usual way if we do not hear from parents.

  For the children entitled to benefits related free school meals who are not in that day, a grab bag will be sent home on Monday.

  Please remember that this is nationally planned strike action, and is not specific just to Marland Hill. It is a national dispute between unions and the government, and not linked to any issues at our school.

• Half Term Holiday Fun

  Fri 10 Feb 2023
  

• Year 2 Fireground Visit

  Fri 10 Feb 2023

  Year 2 had a fantastic day at the Fireground! We spoke about The Great Fire of London and impressed the staff with all our brilliant knowledge and vocabulary. We got to hold replica artefacts and even got to shoot water out of the water squirt. In the afternoon we spent some time looking at fire engines from different time periods and even got to sit in a more modern fire engine. After that we had some fun sliding down the fire pole and driving a virtual fire engine. 

   

  The staff at Fireground were very impressed with not only our brilliant knowledge about the Great Fire of London but also the children's beautiful manners and fantastic behaviour throughout the day. Well done Year 2!

• Weekly 100% Attendance

  This term, every week we will be looking at children’s attendance and all those children who have 100% attendance for the week will be put in to a draw to win 10 Dojos. There will be one random winner from each class.  To ensure your child is entered into this weekly draw, all you have to do is make sure they are in school on time every day.  Thank you for your continued support.
