Dear Parent / Carers,
The children have been working hard this week, really delving into their topics. Reception have been enjoying their learning around their focus text of ‘The Billy Goats Gruff’. They have been using construction equipment to build bridges, getting into character through role play and painting and collaging trolls! Soon they’ll be starting to practise some writing and re-telling parts of the story.
Latest from the HSA
This morning’s Kinda Grind coffee morning helped the HSA raise £17 and allowed everyone to enjoy a nice hot drink on this chilly morning. Thank you to all who supported the event. They’ll be back on the 7th March!
Our next Uniform Stampede is scheduled for Wednesday, 29th January. You’ll find Sharon and some HSA crew set up in the middle playground at drop-off, helping distribute old and used uniforms. Come and donate whatever amount you can afford and get a new-to-you school t-shirt or jumper. If you have any unwanted uniform lying around at home, please bring it to the table opposite the office before that Wednesday.
FEBRUARY – the Read-a-thon is BACK! The whole month will focus on nurturing a love of reading and books, clocking up those minutes, and encouraging the children to collect sponsorship from friends and families!
Saturday 29th March 12 – 3 pm Spring Fair – a whole school fair featuring lots of yummy food from local vendors and restaurants, sports and fun games for all the family and chocolate eggs for feasting!
