Smart Watches and Mobile Phones

Primary students are not allowed mobile phones or smart-watches whilst in school or on school transport.

Our Primary Office staff will help if your child needs to get a message to you, and we will always contact you if there is a problem.

There is no need for a child to have access to a phone or to message or text during the school day.

PE - Interclass Teeball - Monday 14th March Class Colours

Please see below for your child's PE class colour. Your child will wear this colour for our Interclass event, so please ensure that your child has a T-Shirt in this colour.

Please remind your child to do the following:

• Wear a hat
• Apply lashings of Sun cream
• Remove all watches and jewellery etc. and leave safely in the classroom
• Remember Football boots and PE shorts
• Wear their Class colour T-Shirts
• Bring a named water bottle
• Bring a full school uniform and black school shoes to change into after the event.

Keeping Children at Home

If your child is feeling unwell, has a fever, or has any flu like symptoms, please do not send them into school. If a child is sent to the school nurse with a fever, runny nose, cough, or sore throat, you will be asked to collect them from school.

Your support with this is vital and very much appreciated.

ATK testing

Remember to submit your child's ATK testing before coming to school on Monday. Please refer to the email from school for further details.

Home Learning and Class Blogs

 Here is the link directly to the Year 6 blogs.

Global Citizenship

Events In The World

Many of our students have been asking questions about the current situation in the Ukraine.

Happy News!

There are lots of fascinating positive news stories to discuss in this week's issue as well. On page 19, take a look at the picture of the tiny tapir frog that has been discovered in Peru. On page 8, you can find out the remarkable use of recycled nappies in a project in Wales.

You can also keep up to date with current events around the world by watching Newsround, an age appropriate news show. Being aware of current events will help your child to make connections with a range of themes when reading in class, and it is an ideal opportunity for you to model discussing your opinions and using experiences to draw connections between events and people.

Smile Day Bracelets

If you have ordered a Smile Day bracelet, you will receive an email to let your know when it is ready.

General Information

Celebrations

It has been wonderful to be able to mark different  festivals and school events since we reopened in November. 

Students are able to bring in individual food treats (but not gifts) to share with their class for their birthday. For other celebrations we are unable to share out food or gifts - please can we request that students do not bring in gifts or food treats for their class on other special celebration days.  Many thanks for your support.

Birthdays 

Happy Birthday to: Tara (6P) and Kayne (6T)

We are a NUT FREE school. Please when ordering birthday treats double check before bringing treats on the campus. Many toppings offered by some donut shops have flaked almonds in their toppings and peanut butter fillings.

• Individual treats can be brought into school with your child in the morning.
• Please agree a time with the teacher in advance.
• Children will be expected to eat any birthday treats in their classroom.

Temporary Guardianship Form - let us know if both parents are going away and leaving a student with a friend, nanny or a maid.
