Important notices

• 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.

Morning + After school snack

Fresh fruit is provided by the government for all children in Foundation, Year 1 and Year 2. The variety differs each day so if your child would prefer something else then please feel free to send it into school. 

If your child is staying for an after school club e.g. cookery, football, street dance or judo then please send in a healthy snack for your child to enjoy before their club starts. If your child attends after school care with usports then a healthy snack is provided.

Our Summer term topic is 'Our Community'

In DT, we finished our wonderful model of Knowl Hill village. The children worked together, using a variety of joins, to create the key buildings and structures within the village.

Next week is transition week and although the children will stay with me next year, we will spend the week getting to know the new year 1's (current foundation children) and building and developing relationships with one another.

Monday 6th - Friday 10th July

🧮 Maths

We finished our final maths topic of the year, time! The children worked really hard and learned how to read and make o'clock and half past times. They really enjoyed using their homemade clocks to practise.

✏️ Writing
We finished our writing books last week so this week we focused on oracy in the lead up to the school production. We learned all of the words to the songs of Oliver Jr and when it was our turn to join in, listening to the year 6's as they spoke their lines in character.
