Well-being 

Playgrounds - if your child is waiting for an older sibling to finish their ECA, they may access the Year 1/2 playground but they must be closely supervised.  Apologies for the mixed message.  

Learning

Learning in Term 1B- Let's celebrate!

We will be looking at celebrations in our families and around the world.  Our main driving question  is 'How are the celebrations in my family similar to celebrations in other families?' To find out more, here is the link to our curriculum page

Birthday celebrations are back!


We are now able to celebrate the children’s birthdays with them, as long as we follow these requirements:

  • Individualised treats (cupcakes, donuts, etc) can be brought in either at the start of the day or the end of the day
  • No Nuts!
  • Please ensure that any food items sent in do not contain nuts, or any traces of nuts. Please check the ingredients.
  • No candles
  • The birthday treats must be individual portions – teachers will not be able to cut pieces of cake to be given out.

Please liaise directly with your child’s class teacher to inform them if you will be bringing in treats for your child’s birthday.  Treats can be dropped off before 8:00 and after 2:00.
