Parent Governor Nominations
Please ensure you read the Parent Governor nomination form which is being sent home today.
This week we have had Yr4 making a circuit game, an away netball match, Stay and Play session in Nursery, Yr2 going to St Mark's church and all the children learning about esafety.
Today we say a sad goodbye and thank you to two colleagues: Mrs Horsewood who has provided support in Reception and Mr Penn who has taught Yr4. We wish them both all the best in their new positions.
Remember next week is half term. As part of our whole school drive and as the main homework task for the holidays we are asking you to hear your child read, as well as read to them. Remember there is also Mathletics and Lexia available online. But more importantly we hope you find time to go out and do things as a family: parks, museums, walks etc.

This has been another busy and exciting week. It started on Monday with the children having a special menu to celebrate Chinese New Year. A team of Yr5/6 children took part in the annual indoor athletics competition, which was an exciting event, and all the children thoroughly enjoyed it. Our Nursery and Reception classes had special visitors as part of their learning about Chinese New Year - chickens (2017 is the year of the Rooster). Yr3 went to the British Museum to support their topic on Ancient Egypt.
Finally, the children were treated to a performance of Dick Whittington from a touring theatre company.
Tomorrow we are having our first Stay and Play session for children who will start Nursery in September.
Next Week
