Our new spring term topics are well underway here in school and children are enjoying finding out about new things. Our younger children are looking at toys this term. They’ll be investigating stories with toys in and making some toys of their own. Years three and four are learning about the Rainforest and the creatures that live there. They will also be considering the impact of humans on the rainforests. Years five and six are learning about Natural Disasters this term including floods, earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanoes.
We would like to say a huge thank you to anyone who bought books for our school from our Amazon wish list. We are enjoying using the books to help us increase our knowledge and understanding of the world. We really appreciate your kindness. If you would like to buy a book for school our wish list can be found at: https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/3EAI7Q6N5EB2E?ref_=wl_share
We enjoyed a lovely Christmas here in school. Highlights being a visit from Santa and a wonderful Nativity performance.
We have lots to look forward to in school and we are proud to be taking part in the NSPCC’s National Number Day in February to help raise much needed funds to support the vital work of the NSPCC. We have delivered assemblies devised by the NSPCC to help teach our children how to stay safe and know who they can talk to if they have any worries.
Our value focus this term is compassion. We are considering what it really means to be compassionate and are thinking of ways to show compassion to each other, ourselves and the environment. Our children are rising to the challenge admirably.
We run a breakfast club and an after-school club in addition to extra- curricular clubs such as a stories club, a science club, board games and gym. We have places available and if you would like to see what we could offer your child please give us a call to arrange a tour.
