Dear Parents/Carers,
Dear Parents and Carers,
We are pleased to be able to offer our families access to a new local food bank. The food bank is based at the Riverside Church in Parsloes Avenue. If you or someone you know needs support please pop along to the school office and a member of staff will be able to give you support to access.
We have had some amazing work undertaken at home by our pupils. Pupils have been cooking at home and sewing amongst a variety of other skills. Please do send work into school as these are shared in class.
It was wonderful to see so many of our parents and carers come along today to see their pupil’s learning. Your children have access to an ambitious, broad and balanced curriculum. We hope you found the afternoon very useful. If you have any concerns about your child’s progress please see their class teacher.
On Tuesday 11th February we will be celebrating Chinese New Year with a special school lunch including sweet and sour chicken, vegetarian spring rolls and fluffy rice. We look forward to celebrating with the children. See menu below.
Next week we will be celebrating Careers week. Pupils will have the opportunity to find out more about various careers during our House Challenge next Friday. Careers being investigated will include engineering, healthcare, animation, interpreters, information technology and many more.
Every week, we learn about a different musician in school, from different time periods, cultures and styles of music. Next week we will be listening to the music of Bruno Mars including Don’t Give Up and Count on Me
Please remember if you need any uniform for your child that is second hand but in good condition please come along to the main office and we will support you.
