Food will be available to purchase on the evening and there will be prizes for the best fancy dress. 

Our Year 4 classes went to do a litter survey outside on Thursday 27th September as part of their science topic. They found and catergorised the litter they found.

Some of our Reception children attended Forest School this week. They had a fantastic time exploring the area.  Forest School provides a way of meeting the curriculum in an outdoor environment in the local woodlands opposite the school. All our children will get the opportunity to visit our Forest School site over this academic year.  The activities we do help raise the children's self esteem, develop their confidence, independence,  language and communication skills.

On Friday 28th September we held our Macmillan coffee morning in the school hall, and again in the school playground in the afternoon.  Thank you to all our parents who joined in and came along.  Some beautiful cakes were on display that tasted equally beautiful!  Thank you to all our parents and staff who provided them.  It was a very successful event and we managed to raise a lot of money for this worthwhile cause (amount to be disclosed soon!). 

Well done to our winners (Miss Green's class and Mr Hudson's class), who brought in the most class entries for our competition last week.  They received free tuck shop on Friday for their efforts and all of the school entries were used as bunting to decorate our hall for the coffee morning we held on Friday morning.  Thank you to everyone who took part. Superb effort!

To launch the new pirate topic ‘Land Ahoy’ for the Autumn
term, our Year 2 children came to school dressed as pirates yesterday.  The children (and our staff) looked wonderful!
 

The school photographer will be in school to take individual photographs of your children on Monday 15th October 2018.  If your child has a sibling in school, a photo will also be taken of them together. We are unable to take photographs of other family members not attending the school.
