Thank you J.T. Pickfords

By Community, FS1, FS2, Fund Raising, PTA

We would like to say a huge thank you to J.T. Pickfords who have kindly offered to pay the shortfall to build our foundation climbing frame. This means we can set contractors to work very soon.

All money raised from the sponsored walk will go towards improving the FS outdoor area. Mrs Taha is already busy ordering things for the children to enjoy- photos to follow.

We are so proud of the FS children walking 10000 steps. We are truly grateful for the support we receive from our school community. Working together to give our children such a happy school life.

World Book Day – Thursday 4th March

By Community, English, FS1, FS2, News, PSHE, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5, Year 6

The Masked Reader

To celebrate World Book Day, we want our children to film themselves reading an extract from their favourite book in disguise. On Monday 8th March, when all of our children return to school- yeah! We will show the recordings in class. Can children guess the person behind the mask? What are they reading? We hope that this activity will be lots of fun for everyone.

Mrs Teale and Mr Frelich (our English Leaders), are delivering collective worship on Monday 1st March. In this assembly, they will tell you all about World Book Day and answer any questions that you may have.

Further details:

-On Thursday 4th March, key worker children can come to school dressed in their disguise and record their masked read with the support of their teaching assistant.

-All masked readings need to be sent to the class teacher through Class Dojo – before Monday 8th March.

-Recordings to be no longer than 30 seconds.

URGENT: SNOW UPDATE

By FS1, FS2, News, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5, Year 6

School is closed today until 10:30am due to the snow. We have many staff who live some distance away, and are not able to get them safely to school in time for a 8:40am opening.

The weather forecast suggests that conditions will start to improve by mid-morning, so we are very hopeful we will manage to open for 10.30, but will keep you updated if the situation changes.

Lessons on zoom start at 9am as usual, other than for Foundation Stage pupils. FS2 lessons will be starting later today as Mrs Taha is trying to get in to school and lives quite a distance away.

Take care on the roads and thank you for your understanding.

 

Mrs Adair and Mrs Gurner
