Dear Parents

Half term holiday We break up for the half term break today and return to school on Monday 20^th February. We wish you all a restful holiday – perhaps with snow!

Bluebell wood In response to requests from the children, made through their class representatives at School Council meetings, we have opened up the “wild area” on the south west corner of the field so that it is more usable by the children. The clearing brought to light some beautiful clumps of bluebells and lovely animal habitats in amongst the trees and shrubs that make up the environment. We want the children to enjoy visiting this area, quietly and respectfully, as a habitat for wildlife and a place where they can explore and learn about woodland in a very small area. It would be lovely to develop this further through the seasons, and perhaps have some bird boxes, insect houses and hedgehog dwellings installed. We have explained to the children that it is an area that they visit and treat with respect – no running around in there or using it for games. This area belongs to the wildlife whose home it is and the children will be responsible for caring for and preserving it as far as possible. Continue reading →

Half term holiday We break up for the half term break on Friday 10^th February and return to school on Monday 20^th February.

SATS We like to offer parents the chance to come into school and find out a bit more about the external Government testing of the children in Y2 and Y6 (the so-called SATS).  You will be given the chance to try out some of the papers that they will be completing and to ask any questions you might have. This event is usually very poorly attended but I do ask parents of children in any year group to consider coming along. This meeting will be on Monday 27th February at 5.00pm. Please complete the tear off slip at the bottom of this newsletter if you are able to attend. Continue reading →
