Every week during PE, Coach Liam will be choosing pupils to be his PE superstars of the week. Well done to the following children who were fantastic in PE last week:

The following children have been awarded ‘Star Reader’ and enjoyed going to the ‘Starbooks’ cafe in the library to enjoy a drink and a treat as their reward. Fantastic!

In Reception we have had a very busy start to 2024 with our topic People Who Help Us. Each week we have been focussing on a different group of people starting with the Police which was inspired by our Talk Through Story book Cops and Robbers by Janet and Allan Ahlberg. PC Steggles came into school, talked to all the children about how he helps different people and showed us a lot of his equipment. The children were very nervous at first but he soon became very popular and the children enjoyed role playing being a police officer in the role play areas both inside and outside. We have also been learning about farmers, dentists, vets and postal workers with another visit booked in next week.

In our daily phonics lessons we are working hard to continue to learn new sounds and orally blend words, this is something that can be done at home. We use Fred talk to sound out a word e.g. c-a-t, ask your child and see if they can tell you what that word is.

Our maths work continues with understanding numbers to 5 and being able to subsitise these numbers so we know numbers without having to count. The children have now started to understand the composition of number for example knowing that 1 and 4 makes 5. In our Power Maths lessons we have been learning about numbers to 10, addition to 10 and more recently learning about measure – length, height and weight. Not only do the children enjoy their maths lessons which always starts with a number song but they love using the equipment to explain their learning and have started using a maths journal. 

We are so proud with how hard everyone is working and we cannot wait to see what else they can do!

Parents meetings will be taking place the week commencing 18th March. More information will follow.

Thank you.

Year 5A Miss Ashraf’s class will start swimming lessons from  next Tuesday 5^th February 2024 Please ensure your child  brings in their full swimming kit on this day.

Thank you.

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.

Our nursery is full at present, but we are now taking applications for September 2024, the deadline for this is the 31st of March 2024 and applications forms are available from the office.

 Well done Emma who was awarded a medal for her Maths achievements.
