It's definitely hotting up this half term! With higher temperatures forecast over the coming weeks, please make sure your child comes to school with fresh water, a hat and sun cream as necessary. 

There is a persuasive campaign by a group of Year 5 and 6 pupils who are proposing a change to the uniform during warmer months, replacing the shirt and tie with a polo shirt. Always looking for an opportunity to put learning into a real life context, I have challenged them to attend a debate on Monday where they can present their arguments drawing from research. I will keep you all informed of the outcome! 

Next week, look out for a special edition newsletter from Mrs Serby documenting the 'No Such Thing As Normal!' project with Electric Umbrella. 

Speaking of Electric Umbrella, this Sunday is Umbrellafest at Cassiobury Park - see details below. 

Warmest regards,

Nicola O'Hare

Head of School

Reception

This week, we have William and Aletta in the Gold Book.

William has been using his phonics to read and to help him write sentences. 

Aletta has been contributing to class discussions, sharing her general knowledge and great ideas. 

Year 1

Lilia is a star - she is always ready to learn and provides a perfect role model for others. 

Year 2

Frankie is always ready to learn and listening carefully to help him succeed. 

Year 4

In Year 4, we have been using vivid metaphors and similes in our writing - Rupert's contributions are magical!

Year 5

Maddison is such a kind and thoughtful member of the class. We love hearing about her achievements - despite being very modest!

Year 6

Jasper is in GB for his hard work and determination  - especially in maths where he particularly excels. He was also brilliant on the Skern Visit - taking each task in his stride!

Make sure your child comes to school with a water bottle each day. Children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are provided with a snack in the morning. Children in KS2 can bring a fruit or vegetable snack to school for playtime. 

If your child needs additional medication, please  fill in this form and drop it into the school office.

Please ensure your child has an outdoor jacket everyday. We always aim to have the children outside as much as possible during playtime and lunchtime.

The climbing frames are out of bounds before and after school. 

One of our wonderful parents has set up a Facebook page to exchange uniform items that are no longer needed. If your child has outgrown their uniform or you are looking for additional items then this is the place for you. click on the link below to go to the page. Please contact the school office for more details. 

Good attendance starts at primary school - children who have attendance of 97% or above achieve better outcomes in school and have the best opportunities in their adult life.  

If you child misses school regularly, this will affect friendships as well as academic outcomes. It can be hard for a child who misses lots of school to form and maintain relationships with their classmates.

Being on time is also vital. Arriving late at school can be very disruptive for your child, their teacher and the other children in the class.

Attend Today, Achieve Tomorrow!
