Head Teacher- Mrs Burden

A huge thank you to the PTA for organising and running such a fabulous Easter Fair last Saturday. It was great to see so many families attending.

Also this week Year R performed their first class assembly. They showed so much Courage when saying their words and singing the Gruffalo song. Well done Oak class.

Religious Education

This week all classes have been looking at the Easter story and the importance of this time of year for Christians.

Oak class enjoyed a visit from Reverend Richard on Wednesday. They shared the wonderful Easter garden they had been working on.

The new climbing wall is proving very popular with the children. It is quite challenging for most of them so is helping them to take risks safely and problem solve. It has been lovely to watch them showing Love, Respect and support to each other.

Thanks go again to the PTA for making this happen. And another thank you to the PTA who are providing all children with an Easter egg to end the Spring term.

School Values Award

If you feel your child has demonstrated one of our three school values, Love, Courage or Respect this half term, at home or when out and about please email the office and let us know all about it and I will celebrate it at school.

Your child can be awarded as many Values certificates as you like throughout the year.

Values certificates are presented to children every Friday during celebration worship.

Back packs in school

There are an increasing number of children bringing back packs in to school. We are a very small school and we just don't have the room for lots of back packs. Please can I ask that from after Easter only book bags are brought to school unless your child needs a change of clothes and you have had a conversation with the class teacher about this.

Thank you
