Week ending 24th June 2022

Join us at our first Summer Fête on Saturday 2nd July 1:00-4:00pm. This is sure to be another wonderful event hosted by our PTA, please support us on the day by bringing your friends and family.

 

Mufti Days

The classes and PTA will have various stalls at the event to fund-raise for our school, to help us raise that money we require prizes.  We are holding two mufti days when your child is invited to wear non-uniform to school in exchange for a donation of the following items:

  • Monday 27th June - Bottle donations (It could be a bottle of wine, shower gel, beer, salad dressing, hot chilli sauce, shampoo, cordial, gin, ketchup, bubble bath, sparkling fruit juice, hand soap or anything else in a bottle.)

  • Thursday 30th June - Donations of sweets (we cannot accept chocolate donations)

If your child has PE on the mufti days please ensure they are wearing something that they can comfortably and safely run around in. If they have Forest School the usual kit rules apply but instead of a school uniform your child is welcome to wear their non-uniform when they are not attending a Forest School session. If you have any queries please see your child's class teacher.

 

Book Donations

We are also hoping to have a secondhand book stall so if you or anyone you know has any children's, young adult's or adult's books, fiction or non-fiction books in a good condition please bring them into school for us to sell.

 

Thank you in advance for your support and generosity.  

                 

Reception News

This week the children received a visit from Chris's Animal Encounters enabling us to explore close up a wide range of creatures, linking to our learning on insects and contrasting habitats.

This was a wonderful experience where the children showcased their learning and vocabulary, commented on by Chris who was amazed at how much they already knew! See more

Year 1 News

The Rabbits have been learning how to write instructions. To introduce this unit we followed a set of instructions to trap a dragon. The instructions involved, digging a hole, camouflaging it with brown material, scattering leaves and sticks on top and laying the bait - a piece of juicy meat. Find out how we got on

Year 2 News

Year 2 had a fun-filled time as they held a day of beach themed activities to coincide with their "Coastline" topic. We learned about the seaside town of Whitby in the past and compared it to beach visits in the present time. We painted landscapes of Whitby beach, chopped fruit to make fruit skewers, made pinwheels, played with a giant beach ball in the sun and made footprints in the sand. We'll send you a postcard next time!

This week the children have been finding equivalent lengths and have then been adding lengths. The children have completed their independent write and have written a report about the Stone Age using facts they have learnt from our Stone Age topic. The children have also started a new unit of writing based on the book The Stone Age Boy. In science the children have been magnetising a needle in order to create a compass. See more

Nursery News

The Fox Cubs were very excited to join the children in Reception this week as we all welcomed Chris' Animal Encounters into school. We were all fortunate enough to be able to meet, and in some brave circumstances hold a giant millipede, a tree frog, boa constrictor and a giant stick insect amongst other things. See more

Stars of the Week

Well done to all our stars for being a shining example
in faith, love, self-control and patience.

Safeguarding

Snapchat is a photo- and video-sharing app through which users can chat with friends via text and audio. Images and videos can be shared with specific friends, or as a ‘story’ (documenting the previous 24 hours) that’s visible to a person’s entire friend list. Snapchat usage rose during the lockdowns, with many young people utilising it to stay connected with their peers. The app continues to develop features to engage an even larger audience and emulate current trends, rivalling platforms such as TikTok and Instagram.

In this guide from National Online Safety, you'll find tips on a number of potential risks such as having a visible location and strangers.
