(Home) School's Out For Summer!
Well done! You've made it to the end of the school year and we are SO proud of all you've achieved at home following our home learning plans. School may now be 'out' but the learning never stops so why not challenge yourself to complete as many of our Summer 2020 activities as you can? We've put together a range of experiences that will help to enrich your understanding of the world and give you lots to talk about when you come back to school. How many can you tick off during the summer? We look forward to seeing and hearing all about it when you return in September. Until then, stay safe and well and have a wonderful, relaxing break.
With best wishes from Mrs Pinkerton and the Foundation and Key Stage One Team.

Key Stage One Parents' Information Briefing
As we are unable to hold our 'information evening' for parents of children moving into year 1 and year 2, we have put together this video to share the key information. We hope you find it informative. Thank you for your understanding. We look forward to welcoming your children into their new year groups in September.

Here is a taster of our plans for the half term. During spring we are focusing on Traditional Tales including the Three Little Pigs, The Three Billie Goats Gruff, Jack and The Beanstalk, Hansel and Gretel and Little Red Riding Hood. We will be celebrating Chinese New Year with a week of activities including a Chinese Fan Dance and parade which you will be invited to watch on Tuesday 21st January at 2.45pm Robins will be having Forest school the first half term on Thursday pm. The children can come to school wearing warm outdoor clothes. PE days remain the same: Miss Wilkes’ Thursday and Miss Holt’s class Wednesday am.
Autumn Term 1
Welcome to our school. There are so many exciting learning opportunities ahead. Your children are going to come on a wonderful learning journey with us! We appreciate, however, that many children find it difficult to explain what they are doing at school so here is a taster of our plans for the rest of the half term.
Please make sure your child brings a water bottle to school each day. Many of you have registered for milk. If you haven’t yet registered, please do so as we only receive milk for those on the list. It is free until children turn 5yrs.
PE for Miss Holt’s class is on a Wednesday. Miss Wilkes’ class is on Thursday am. Please help your child to practise dressing and undressing. We ask the children to bring in a PE kit by week 3- including shorts, t-shirt, trainers or pumps. We will be in bare feet in the hall for gymnastics and trainers for the ‘daily mile’.
