Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.

• End of term

  Fri 25 Oct 2019
  We have had a fantastic last week of term and there are lots of photos of our trip to the Wild Place and our House team challenge day in the Recent events section.  Enjoy the holidays.

• Term 1 updates

  Thu 17 Oct 2019

  Tomorrow you should receive a letter/slip telling you what coloured ‘house’ your child is in. There are 4 houses - red, green, blue and yellow and the children are put into these for events like sports day and to earn housepoints.  Once the children are out in a house they usually remain in that one unless new classes are imbalanced and we try to put siblings in the same coloured houses. 

   

  Next Thursday (the last day of term) we would like the children to wear a top to school in their given colour so that they can really get to know which colour house they are in and to have some fun activities in their teams. They will also need these t-shirts later in the year for other events and sports day. Please try and borrow if you don’t have anything in that colour to reduce buying new items. 

   

  On the last day of each term we always ask the children to wear non-uniform to celebrate the end of a term and to raise vital funds for the school. This time we will be collecting donations so that we can buy some lovely books to support next terms topic and some much needed glue sticks and white board pens. There is no requirement to donate but we are always extremely grateful if you can spare a small amount such as £1. 

  Thanks for your support.

• Term 2 quick updates

  Thu 17 Oct 2019

  Term 2 
  Day 1 Monday 4th November

  
  Under the Stars Topic
  To launch our topic of Under the Stars which will be focusing on immersing the children in rich stories and drama we will be holding a story telling day and would like the children to come to school in nightwear such as pyjamas and onesies. These need to be practical and thy should wear shoes not slippers and be able to go to the toilet easily! 

   

  Day 2 Tuesday 5th November 
  Pantomime in school - Jack and the Beanstalk
  To continue with the storytelling theme we have booked the fabulous theatre company we used last year to bring to life the story of Jack and the Beanstalk. Last year we were all wowed by the Panto at school and it really did feel like a proper visit to the theatre so we hope you won’t mind paying for this. You should see a payment request via the new school app of £3.60 per child. We will not make any profit from this event and will just be covering the cost of the production. 

  Thanks.

• Food bank visit

  Tue 15 Oct 2019
  During collective worship we had a visit from the Fishponds food bank to talk to the children about where all the harvest donations are going and how they will be used.  We would like to thank everyone that has supported us and made donations.  We will be collecting until the end of this week if you would still like to donate.

• Giraffe Class: please read

  Sat 05 Oct 2019

  GIRAFFE CLASS-IMPORTANT PLEASE READ

   

  As you may all be aware, one of our children wears hearing aids. During class he wears a radio aid which links to a microphone so he can hear the teacher clearly. Sometime between Thursday afternoon and Friday morning a piece of his equipment went missing. It is small, silver/grey.  

   

  Please, could I ask that you check your child's pockets or bags incase they picked it up not knowing what it is. 

   

  He absolutely needs this to access the curriculum and any delay in getting new equipment will put him at a disadvantage. Thank you so much.
