World Book Day 

An email was sent out recently detailing the theme for World Book Day on Thursday 5th March. Foundation, Year 1 and 2 will come dressed as characters from books by author Julia Donaldson, illustrated by Axel Scheffler. We have started to read a variety of their books in class for inspiration.

Important notices

• Lost jumper - please check through any school jumpers you have at home in case it has been taken home accidentally, the jumper is named.
• We would like to kindly remind parents that the school car park is reserved for authorised staff and visitors who have received prior permission from Mrs Bourner. We have had a number of near misses recently caused by cars pulling into the entrance of the school car park to drop off and then pulling out again onto the A4. The A4 is a very busy road, it is important to set a good example to the children so please park sensibly and walk over the footbridge. There is plenty of parking at the village hall and it is only a short 1-2 minute walk from kiss and drop. Thank you.

Our Spring term topic is 'Frozen Kingdom'

2nd - 6th February

This week we have been working hard in all areas of our learning. We have finished making our snow ploughs in DT and evaluated our designs.

Please ensure that your child brings a water bottle and a warm coat to school every day as we will be outside in all weathers.

Please have a look in our gallery to see what we have been up to.
