Wizard of Oz
The children enjoyed the performance of the Wizard of Oz today. We will be using it to inspire some writing.
PE
This half term, F2 will have PE on a Thursday morning. Please ensure your child has a named PE kit (white t-shirt, blue shorts/black leggings) and a water bottle in school.
Living and learning: I use good table manners
Today, year 5/6 discussed what is meant by ‘good table manners’. After watching a video on etiquette, we practised setting the table for a dinner party and holding a knife and fork properly.

Welcome back!
We hope that you’ve had a great holiday and are looking forward to returning to Nursery.
Over the next few weeks, we’re going to be learning about Spring time. It would be beneficial for your child if you could consolidate this learning at home too.
There are lots of things you could do:
- Talk about any signs of spring that you can see when you go for a walk to the park or visit a farm. Can you hear the birds singing?
- E-mail us some photographs of flowers, buds on trees or baby animals that you see.
- Draw/paint a picture or create a collage of some spring flowers.
- Learn the names of some farm animals and their babies (eg sheep/lamb)
As always, we’d love to hear about your holiday adventures. Please e-mail or bring in a leaflet to show us where you have visited during the holidays.

Living and Learning : Body Image
We have been learning about body image over the last few weeks in our Living and Learning lessons. We have discussed how we view ourselves and what makes us ‘us’. This also led to conversations about protected characteristics and equality.
Gold Stars
Well done to our recent golden stars!
Super skippers
Skipping School have visited again today. Jodi ran two sessions this morning for the year 2 children to prepare for an upcoming competition. The whole school are still enjoying skipping and we have some more ropes for sale in the office.
The Year 1 children were also working on their skipping skills, counting how many skips they could do and recording it on the 100 square outside.
Living and Learning – knowing the difference between being proud and showing off
The Year 3 and 4 children were feeling very proud of their fabulous performance of ‘Eddie and the penguins save the world’.
They were committed to their performance by learning scripts, songs and dances.
Well done for all your hard work and effort.
We had a wonderful discussion about the difference between showing off and feeling proud of your achievements.
Here’s what the children said about showing off:
“Don’t show off and steal someone else’s happiness.” Charlie
“Showing off is like boasting and that’s not good.” Abi
Pop-up art gallery – celebrating the end of our arty Big Topic
Thank you to all the parents and carers who came to the pop-up art gallery. The children have been working really hard over the last few weeks and were very excited about seeing their work on display. We asked for donations to our school charity, Cancer Research, in exchange for the children’s art work, raising £41.56. Lots of adults commented on how much they enjoyed the event.
What a lovely idea!
Thank you. It is great being able to come into school and see the children’s work.
