FROGGY STARS - STRIVE -TEAM - AMBITION - RESILIENCE = SUCCESS
Week – 25.11.22
Another great week in school!
We are extremely proud of how our children continue to embrace the opportunities available within school. This week children have continued to explore a range of sources to find out more about life in the past. Within KS1 the children have handled artefacts, looked at a range of sources and even experienced life as a Victorian child. Within KS2 children have explored how our country has changed over time, looking at key changes and developments which impact on the way we live today. Our learning continues to be shared via our school website, Twitter and Facebook pages. the Facebook pages to enable you to share in your children’s successes. .
Within our assemblies, we have celebrated the start of the World Cup! The children have loved finding out more about the different countries taking part and considering the similarities and differences with where they live. Mr G even managed to squeeze a penalty shootout into the Y3 and 5 assembly!
Our after-school clubs end today and recommence on Monday 9th January. Our morning dance and sports provision continue until the end of term. Our new clubs will be advertised on our return and will be available to book through the app.
As we approach Christmas, we are aware of growing need within our community and are keen to help those families who may be experiencing difficulty. School can arrange practical support to help you at this time. Please contact a member of the pastoral team if you require support.
As you are aware, we have lots of exciting events taking place in school over the next few weeks. If you would like your child to have a Christmas lunch this needs to be booked by Monday 28th November 2022. There will be no cost for children within Reception, KS1 or those in receipt of FSM. All other children, including our nursery are able to purchase a lunch for £2.25. Please note that the children will have access to an alternative menu during Christmas Dinner week. Please check the app for details.
Wishing you all a lovely and relaxing weekend,
Mrs Silk
