PLANTERS
Many thanks to Natalie, one of our marvellous Reception parents, who has donated some gorgeous seasonal blooms to cheer up our tired outdoor plants. With the help of Gloria, another lovely parent, they have spruced up the planter. Thank you ladies. It looks like you had some expert Reception gardeners to help you out.

Our children love a 'show and tell.' Here Elijah and Cameron shared a beloved volume on the great David Attenborough.

Mrs Smart and Mrs Cotton 'teach the teachers' on Inset Day
We hope you all had a wonderful half term. Our staff kicked off the break with a fantastic training session with Mrs Smart and Mrs Cotton on 'checking for understanding' while we are teaching. These whole staff training sessions are such a vital and inspiring way for us to update our team on the latest teaching practices and educational research.

Calling All Musicians!
We love to hear your talents! Would you like to play an instrument at the start of Monday’s merit assembly? This is a fantastic opportunity to showcase your talents. If you are interested, please see Mrs Morrison, who will put your name on a list and let you know the date on which you will entertain the whole school!
LOST PROPERTY
LOST PROPERTY
Lost property will not be stored in the school building. All named items that turn up will be returned to children as soon as possible. Unnamed items will be stored in a box which will be located near the Reception classrooms, under the dove mural.
You can check this for missing items at drop off & pick up. We have a large number of items coming into school that are unnamed. This makes it very hard for us to return lost property to the rightful owner. Please ensure all items belonging to your child, from stationery to clothing, are named.
Thank you so much.
DROP BOX
DROP BOX
Our DROP BOX system is working so well. We thought it might be a good idea to remind you how it works.
If you would like to drop something off for your child during school hours, please label it and place it in our new DROP BOX, inside our Chertsey Road entrance. There is no longer a requirement to come into the building to drop items off during the school day. The box will be regularly emptied and items taken to your child's class. All items must be labelled. We do appreciate that sometimes it is necessary to drop forgotten items off during the school day, but we do ask that this is kept to a minimum, in order to cause as little disruption as possible to lessons. Thank you.
