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.

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.

Learning

Urgent call for junk modelling to support the learning.

We are still in need of buttons; bottles; cardboard and plastic boxes / containers; cylindrical pieces of junk; string; ribbon; wrapping bows; lids; corks and anything else that can be used for junk modelling and art. Please save any recycling and old 'bits and bobs' that could be used and send into school with your child. 

NB Please only send clean containers, no sharp edges, no glass.

Home Learning and Class Blogs

Home learning is set every Friday on the class blogs - students are expected to complete their home learning by  Wednesday of the following week.

Global Citizenship

Events around the world

You can 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.
