Headteacher’s message 24.03.2023

It has felt a little bit like Spring this week and the corridors are alive with the sound of music! The singing in Y3,4 and 5 is beautiful. I can’t wait to see their show next week.  Year 3 have shared their science learning with me. They confidently explained how they had changed variables in their plants investigation. I am very proud of the the safeguarding squad.  They delivered a brilliant assembly about online safety using the story chicken clicking. After the assembly they also spoke to a visitor from the Local Authority about how we keep safe in school, learn about being safe and their role in school. Mrs Handslip was very impressed with their knowledge.  We also have a lot of useful links on our website which parents and carers may find useful to support online safety at home.

We have had a lot of visits in school from our Governors over the last few weeks.  They have been talking to some subject leaders and children about different aspects of our curriculum.  They have been very impressed with how well the children have talked to them about learning and have loved their enthusiasm.  The children told them how much they are enjoying their music, maths, geography and art lessons this term.

Well done to everyone who received a Headteacher Award this week:

Jesse S, Erin T, Simon F, Aidah S, Aaron W, Mehreen W, Gracie T-E, Olivia I-C,

I hope you all have a good weekend.

Mrs E Smith.

EYFS – Superhero Theme Day

Letters have been sent home today regarding our Superhero theme day next Tuesday 28th. 

 

We have been enjoying reading the book Supertato. We are asking that all children next Tuesday 28th March dress up as a superhero. This can be as simple as adding a cape to their own clothes or a making a simple eye mask.

 

Thank you again for your support,

 

The EYFS Team
