• Messages from the Year 3 Teaching Team:

  Fri 10 Sep 2021

  Year 3 children will be learning to play the recorder in their music lessons. The school will loan each child a recorder, which they will keep in their drawer at school. These recorders will remain in school. Therefore, if your child wishes to practise at home, you may like to purchase a recorder for your child.

   

  Year 3 children will become scientists next week where they will carry out an investigation. In order to complete this investigation, we required boxes e.g. shoe boxes or slightly larger are ideal with no gaps as the investigation involves light and dark. Please bring a box into school by Wednesday 15^th September 2021. Please do not worry if you do not have a suitable box as children can work in partners and/or small groups.

• Welcome Back!

  Mon 06 Sep 2021

  Dear Parents/Carers,

   

  It was lovely to see children and their families coming into school this morning in the sunshine. As I've walked around the school this morning, it has been wonderful to see how settled and happy the children are in their classrooms with their teachers and friends. I'm looking forward to spending some 'face to face' time with the children in our Key Stage assemblies this afternoon.

   

  Thank you for arriving promptly this morning; as shared, entry gates open at 8:45am and close at 8:55am. This allows for a smooth arrival for children. 

   

  Bikes and scooters can now be stored in the designated areas on the school premises. However, they remain the responsibility of the child's parent/carer and must be taken home at the end of the school day.

   

  Autumn term events will be confirmed in due course and will be in line with our school COVID-19 risk assessment. 

   

  Kind regards,

   

  Laura Kennedy-Weeks

  Headteacher
