Apley House Point Changes

At the beginning of last term, through discussions with the pupils, we discovered that they wanted to change the house points and not just have colours but have characters. School council got together and discussed ideas and set up a school-wide competition for the children to create their own character and name to represent each house group.

Many congratulations go to Avani in year 4, Mimi and Oliver in year 5 and Chloe in year 6 whose characters were chosen by the school council to win!

These designs have now been made into fantastic signs which will be up on display in the hall and classrooms. Well done to all of the children for sharing their ideas on how to improve our house points and for taking part in the competition.

PE Day Changes

During Spring term, our PE days will alter slightly.

Outdoor: Tuesdays

Indoor (swimming): Wednesdays

Parent DEAR Time Sessions

During the autumn term we held DEAR time sessions (Drop Everything And Read) for you to come into school and read with your children. Due to the success of these and how much the children enjoyed it, we will be holding DEAR time open door sessions again in the spring term for you to come into school and spend some relaxed time with your child at the end of the school day and either listen to them read, read to them or even read together.

Each session will take place between 2:55pm and 3:15pm.

Please see the dates below for when your child’s year group will be holding their DEAR time open door session.

EYFS – Wednesday 18th January

Year 1 – Tuesday 24th January

Year 2 – Wednesday 1st March

Year 3 – Wednesday 1st February

Year 4 – Tuesday 14th February

Year 5 – Tuesday 7th March

Pedestrian Training

Base 8 had a fantastic day of ‘Pedestrian Training’ today. They have learnt the importance of the green cross code and to ‘Stop, Look, Listen and Think’ whenever they are planning to cross the road. The children were then able to put the theory into practice! Very well done to group 3 who also had to contend with some very heavy rain whilst out on their walk.
