This week in Early Years the children have been looking at the book 'A ticket around the World' in preparation for their trip to Paris. They have created passports and have explored the different parts of the airport applying this within their play.
Year 1
Year 1
In Year 1 this week, the children have been exploring the concept of Remembering in relation to Krishna's Birthday in RE. The children have been talking about the word 'remembering' and what it means to them. They then explored the religion Hinduism and how remembering is important to those who follow this religion. They talked about the god Krishna and why his birthday is important to remember for Hindus and re created a Hindu shrine. The children has the opportunity to bring in and share an item or photo that helps them to remember a special person in their life.
Year 2
Year 2
This week, the children have thoroughly enjoyed sketching their chosen animals, inspired by their writing. After creating beautiful collages or colouring their animals, they began designing and layering backgrounds to display their masterpieces on. It’s been wonderful to see their creativity shine through in both their artwork and design choices. Well done year 2!
End of Year Reports
Please note that end of year reports will be emailed out next week, as opposed to previous years where paper copies have been sent home.
We're sure you will appreciate the environmental and financial impact of sending reports in this way. You will receive a covering letter relevant to your child's year group and their report which includes attendance statistics for the year.

Attendance Guide for Parents / Carers
What YOU must do:
Try to telephone the school before 8.30am each day of your child’s absence.
Tell the school in advance, of any medical appointments and bring in appointment cards/letters.
If you are not sure whether your child is well enough to attend school, send them in anyway as they often perk up on arrival.

What WE will do:
Check your child’s attendance every day.
Phone home to discuss your child’s attendance with you.
Invite you into school for attendance meetings if we are concerned.
If we cannot establish a reason for absence, then we may make a welfare home visit.
