It’s Party Time
On Thursday 15 December it will be the Christmas party for Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 after lunch. The children must come to school in their school uniform but are welcome to bring some party clothes to change into for the party.
Please ensure that the clothes are easy for the children to put on themselves and that they are in a named carrier bag. Please remember that they will be playing party games and dancing so make sure that the shoes that they bring are sensible.
Thank you.

We were lucky enough to have a visitor on Friday. Richard Gale (Indi’s dad) is a paramedic and he came in to talk about his job. As you can see we had great fun using bandages, oxygen masks and stethoscopes! It looked like there had been an awful accident at one point but I can assure you that no-one was hurt at all!
Thank you Richard for taking the time to visit us.
Eureka!!
As you know, Year 1 and Year 2 went to Eureka museum in Halifax on Tuesday 15 November. The main focus of our day was in the learning area known as “Me and My Body.” Our learning included the way our mouths work, how fast we breathe and how our skeletons move.
What a tiring day…
…just time for a snooze on the way home.
Super Sculptures!
It is not only children who are involved in learning. On Tuesday, all of the teaching staff were involved in a Art workshop and some super sculptures were produced.
Check out the new member of our school community, Sebastian.
Mrs Burke, Mrs Weekes, Mrs Maver and Miss Hewson worked together to sculpt using newspaper and modrock and this is the result.
Look out for him in the middle building.
Hobby Half Day
Check out our fantastic photos of our first Hobby Half Day!
Children from Year 1 to Year 6 had the opportunity to participate in an afternoon of learning something new. The activities ranged from everyday baking and cooking to the unusual: creating their own carbon footprint.
An Amazing Assembly
Last Thursday, Year 1 shared their learning in “a really fab assembly”. The children have been learning about the people in our community and showed this through drama and singing.
“What a wonderful show. Excellent theme for them to appreciate all the people that help us.”
As you can see from the quotes, our parents thought the children did really well. Thank you to all the parents for your support.
“What a fantastic performance – such confidence from all of the children.”
Class Assembly
A quick reminder to let you know that your child will be performing in their class assembly on Thursday 13 October at 2.40pm.
Hope to see you there!
We know how to stay safe in Year 1!
What a week we had last week! It was amazing how much we learnt in such a short time. We now know how to stay safe in many situations:
- around dogs
- dancing and keeping fit
- in case of fire
- when crossing the road
- when someone is hurt
Photograph, please!
Please could your child bring in a photograph of themselves as a baby. We will be learning about growing in our new topic so it would be lovely to have these on display. Photographs will be returned later in the Autumn term.
Thank you.
Miss Hewson, Mrs Weekes and Mrs Maver.
Welcome to Year 1
Wow! What a fantastic start to Year 1. The children have shown some great learning from the start and we are very excited to see how they are going to develop. Benjiman and Adwait have both shown how they understand their own feelings and those of others and Mia has already received a certificate for taking responsibility for her own learning.
Look out for all the exciting learning that is going to take place in Year 1!
Some things you need to know:
- children will need their PE kits on Tuesdays and Fridays
- book bags will be needed every day
- homework is sent out on Friday and is expected back on Wednesday
- spellings are sent out on Friday and need to be learnt for the following Friday
Look out for the newsletter which will be coming home soon. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please come in and see Mrs Maver or me, Mrs Weekes.
Looking forward to working with you and your children over the coming year.
