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.

Happy Birthday to all the students celebrating their birthday next week, during the half term break and the first week back after the break. We hope you all have fun :)

Birthday Treats

We are a NUT FREE school.  Children may bring in a special treat to share with the class.

Please contact the class teacher to arrange a suitable time.

• Brownies, cupcakes and individual cake slices are easier for your child to give out.
• Please reduce plastic packaging as much as possible.
• We do not allow party bags or other gifts to be given out at school, either for birthdays, or other celebrations.
