Fri 29 Mar 2019It's lovely to see that Spring is finally here. Our assemblies this week have been all about looking around for signs of Spring. We have told the children to just stop and spend time looking and listening. As the weather is getting better why not go for a walk in the countryside or just sit in the garden?

Free Library Books Event every day after school
Monday: Easter Egg Hunt after school

Book Fair
Thanks to everyone who bought a book from the fair last week. It has meant that we now have over £200 worth of new books we can get for our library.
To make way for these books we will be putting out books after school for you to help yourself to. This will be at the end of every day next week and different books will be added throughout the week.
Sports Update
Yr5 played competitive games for the first time at the Yr5 Netball Festival. We were impressed with their teamwork and determination.
Well done to the football team who have won their league. They play in the interleague finals on Wednesday at Wheatfields.

Fri 08 Mar 2019It has been lovely to see the children dressed up ready for their bedtime story today. As part of World Book Day they will also be bringing home a new book from the Book Swap event. We hope to see many of you coming into school before the end of the day to read to groups of children. A new helpful guide on reading with your child is on our Home Learning page.
Scholastics Book Fair will be starting week commencing 18th March. Look our for more details next week.
You might have noticed over the past few years we have not asked the children to dress up as book characters. This is because we'd prefer you to spend your money on books rather than a costume that may only be worn once.

Fri 01 Mar 2019Next Friday (8th March), we will be celebrating World Book Day in school with a Bedtime Stories event. Thank you to all the families who have donated a book so far, your support is very much appreciated. Please donate any further books by Wednesday. We would like to invite parents/grandparents/carers into school on Friday at 2.30 to read your favourite story book to your child or a small group of children, please let us know if you are able to support us with this.
Nursery have been looking for signs of spring – watching daffodils grow and drawing the new flowers that appear every day. The book ‘Emma’s Lamb’ by Kim Lewis has been the inspiration for them frolicking about the classroom!
Reception have been learning about traditional tales, they have been reading, re-telling and acting out The Gingerbread Man. There was lots of porridge eaten when they read Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
In year 1 there have been plenty of books on their topic on castles, there is a super Learning Wall in the classroom that shows some of the information they have found out which they would like to share with you next week.
Year 2 have been Book Detectives, using non-fiction books in Science to learn about healthy eating. By correctly using the index and contents, they have managed to create their own booklets on the topic.
Rhodopis, The Egyptian Cinderella, has been the focus of year 3’s stories. On Thursday the classroom was full of Tutankhamuns, Nefertitis and Cleopatras.
‘Roll Up! Roll Up! It’s all the fun of the circus!’ Year 4 have just started reading the book Leon and the Place Between, which is an exciting circus-based book.
Not only have year 5 been reading every day at home, but they have also been studying a variety of biography texts in school. They are looking forward to their explorations of famous astronauts, galaxies and the unknown…….To Infinity and Beyond…..!
In the Dining Hall, Year 6 have displayed their non-fiction report writing that was based on the fantastic creatures found in the Spiderwick Chronicles; they are now learning about refugees and migration by using the picture book The Arrival.
The book fair will visit the school the week after for you to use your voucher, get a new book and raise funds for new school books.
