This week in PSHE Year 3 have been making their recipes for friendship soup. Take a look at their class recipes. What would you add?  

Our Dodgeball Team won this week at the dodgeball tournament! It was very close and went to sudden death. Congratulations to the team who were awarded their medals.

Following the success of this term’s workshops we will be inviting parents in again this term to promote the benefits of positive reading with your child. Parents/carers are invited to attend, tea/coffee will be provided. The dates are as follows:

· Monday 27^th Feb – Year 6

· Monday 6^th March – RANs drop in session

· Monday 13^th Match – Year 5

· Monday 20^th March Year 4

· Monday 27^th March Year 3

Sessions will run 9.00am-9.30am.

As a school, we are working on promoting a love of reading and it would be great to have parents as positive reading role models for the children. We hope to see as many parents as possible.

For Safety Week Year 5 took part in some basic First Aid training. They looked at what you would do if someone was experiencing severe bleeding. First, we looked at bandaging the wound and then we put the wounded arm in a sling. Everyone worked well to help their injured patients and learnt some important new skills.

A polite reminder that we need the children to be reading at home at least 3 times a week and getting their reading records signed to reflect this. Thank you to those who are already doing this.

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.

We now have space in the school choir for any children from Year 3 upwards should they wish to join. Practice is every Thursday after school until 3.50pm. Please book your child’s free place via the shop section on Parent mail.

Good luck to Miss Wright today who will be starting her maternity leave. We wish you all the very best on the safe arrival of your new baby.

A polite reminder to ensure that school dinner payments are up to date and that there are no outstanding balances. Thank you.

We have a book swap in the main school reception with lots of different books  that children are welcome to take home and read. If you have any books at home that you wish to swap or donate to the stall we would be very grateful. Thank you.
