Welcome to 3,4B! (Mr Catherall’s class)
Hi everyone
It’s been great to be back at school and get together as a class for the first time. I’ve been super impressed by how everyone has come back with a positive attitude and dived into their learning head first. We’ve had a great first few days and I’m super optimistic that we’re going to enjoy a great year.
Just a few reminders:
- School starts at 8:50am – just walk in when you see the door open.
- PE days – Monday and Tuesday (wear your kit to school)
- Bring your water bottle everyday
- Reading books – Friday’s
- Library – Wednesdays
- Please check the uniform policy for your information.
On Friday this week, your child will be sent home with a reading book. Please make sure they have this in school every Friday.
If you have any questions, please come and ask Myself or Mr Goodwin.
First days in Year 1 and 2
The children have come back to school full of enthusiasm and excitement. After a few nerves, we’re all starting to get used to the new routines. We are enjoying reading Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers as it has opened up discussions about our feelings and looking after each other. Ask your child about any new friends they have made or old friends they have enjoyed seeing again.
Welcome Back Year 3/4!
Hello and welcome back to school!
We are so pleased to be back after a lovely summer break. Today, we’ve heard lots of stories of adventurous summer day trips and cool, relaxing evenings. It sounds like everyone had a good summer and a well deserved rest. The children were certainly feeling fresh, well-rested and ready for learning.
Well done to everyone for making the first day such an enjoyable one – I know it’s not easy getting back into a routine after a long break.
Just a few reminders:
- School starts at 8:50am – just walk in when you see the door open.
- PE days – Tuesday and Wednesday (wear your kit to school)
- Bring your water bottle everyday
- Reading books – Mondays
- Library – Wednesdays
- Please check the uniform policy for your information.
If you have any questions, please come and ask Mrs McCormick, Mrs Wadsworth or Mrs Kirby.
Welcome back!
The Year 1 and 2 Team have been busy getting your classrooms ready for Monday. We are looking forward to welcoming our new classes. We hope you are excited too, or maybe a little bit nervous? That’s ok, we will look after you all.
Here are some posters showing you who is in the Key Stage 1 team. Have a look further down this page for more information about your own class, PE days and lunch menus too.
Lunch menus
Here is a link to the lunch menus for next term; they’re on a 3 week cycle. If your child would like to have a school lunch, let Nursery staff know your choice at registration each morning.
Welcome Back!
Welcome back to all the Year 5/6 phase. I hope you and your families have had a lovely summer. Whilst I’m sure there are some of you that are bursting with excitement to return to school, I’m sure there are some of you that might be feeling a bit nervous or anxious. This is completely normal and to be honest, the teachers are feeling the same way too. We can’t wait to see you all back at school and hear our classrooms full of learning and giggling again. If you are moving to a new class this time, we can’t wait to get to know you and you will be settled in in no time at all. Maybe make sure you start to think about your bedtime routines a bit now. Do you need to be going to bed a bit earlier before Monday? Have you got all your uniform and PE kit that you need? Make sure your making some healthy food choices over the weekend so you’re feeling healthy for the first day of term.
Anyway, enjoy the weekend and we’re looking forward to seeing you on Monday morning.
Welcome Back
The year 5/6 team are brimming with excitement at the thought of returning to school.
You’ll notice a few changes around the school such as the new fence in the KS2 playground. The biggest change for the classes is that we’ll now be known as 5/6A, B or C (hopefully less confusing).
5/6A -Mr Freeman, Mrs Ravenscroft and Miss Joicey
5/6B – Mrs Hogarth and Mrs Goodwin
5/6 C (C for cool obviously) – Mr Lindsay and Miss McAleer
We’re really looking forward to this year. Our first topic is geography based and called Where in the World am I? At home, discuss your local area, our county, capital city and where we fit into Great Britain.
We’ll also be learning how to read maps as we take a virtual tour of some of our national parks. We’ll be learning about some Uk rivers and mountains through the use of OS and digital maps.
This half term will see the return of our class assemblies which will be recorded for parents to view.
Finally, there’s just a few reminders:
- make sure your child comes with a water bottle
- when the bell rings at 8:50am (yes, that early again), children walk straight into class instead of lining up
- children wear PE to school on their PE days
See you all on Monday morning for a happy and healthy return to school.
The Year 5/6 team

PE days – which day to I wear my PE uniform?
We are going to continue with wearing PE kit on PE days – this cuts down on lost property and saves learning time, so we’re going to continue this for at least next year as a longer term trial. On the days your child has PE, they should come to school in their school uniform PE kit. (Track-suit bottoms instead of shorts would be good on colder days. Footwear : black/brown/grey/white flat shoes which are safe to run around in.)
Footwear on PE days could be children’s ‘school shoes’ which are often a plain ‘trainer’ style anyway, if you want to avoid having to buy 2 pairs of shoes.
Here is a link to our uniform policy.
Please find below the days each class has allocated PE times, which will be taught outdoors, except in extreme weather.
