Please help us to support your child’s phonics development by regularly going through the phonics sheets that are sent home with them.
We also have green phonics books available to buy for £1—these are a great reminder of how to say the sound to reinforce the learning in school.
Well done to Leila and Charlotte for being chosen as Breakfast Club Superstars!
This week Year 2 had an exciting workshop in school linked to their Great Fire Of London topic.
Please can we remind parents/carers to be mindful of how you speak and behave with staff. Our staff are happy to help and support and will continue to do this. A reminder of our policy in regards to this is attached.
As part of their topic on New Life, Reception have been learning about Growth and Change and looking at a range of animals particularly baby animals and how they grow. Reception will be visiting the Smithills Open Farm on Monday 17th March 2025.
School is subsidising the cost of the trip, but we do ask for a parental contribution of £10. This is a voluntary contribution towards the overall cost of the visit.
Please go to parent mail and complete the consent form (found in the forms section) and please pay for the visit (payments/then shop).
World Book Day is on Thursday 6th March. This year, the theme is 'Read Your Own Way'. We will be holding a competition where children can design a bookmark and the winners will receive book vouchers.
Children can dress in an outfit they would like to read in e.g comfy clothes or pyjamas. If children prefer to dress as a book character then of course they can choose to do this instead.

You will need to book on parent mail. Payment must be made in full (£5) for the term when booking a place. We are unable to reserve places without payment. Places are limited and will be on a first come first served basis. Please note that payments for after school clubs are non-refundable.
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.
